Hello, can we expect the https://github.com/androidx/androidx repo to accept AndroidX Wear contributions soonish?

Happy to look into enabling this - I would be happy in principle to take contributions. Was there something specific you were looking to contribute?

Yep, I found a little pointless

/** @hide */

on an

internal

setter that I wanted to remove.

which one - let me take a look

I think doing cmd/ctrl + shift + F and searching for

/** @hide */

will reveal it, I moved on as I couldn't easily contribute, but I think you'll easily find it back by filtering into androidx.wear.watchface directories.

Just found the code here https://github.com/androidx/androidx/tree/androidx-main/wear/compose - are you looking for confirmation that a PR will be picked up?

Yup, because it's not in the list in the README:

Louis was asking about contribution to Watchface previously - I took a quick look but didn't immediately find how to get the libraries allow listed. Also it's quite involved to take external contributions especially API impacting ones. I will take an action to look at this again, but in the mean time feel free to raise bugs with suggested improvements.

For the documentation fixes, is it really "quite involved"?

Even for documentation it is not straightforward as we have to do extra steps behind the scenes to shepherd changes through - but nevertheless I have checked and apparently external contributions are actually enabled by default which is why I couldn't find steps to turn it on - so feel free to make contributions - I have asked for the documentation that you cited to be corrected so that it is clear that you can contribute

Great! That applies to all androidx.wear libraries, including watchface, and compose, right?

That is what I understand

I tried this to investigate a preview fix. Needed to make some changes to the build.gradle files and settings.gradle. But working to compile the wear-compose code. This was just an experiment and suggests there is some work needed to cleanly support external PRs. https://github.com/yschimke/androidx/commit/fb4b11b96da1c3b37c9828077a4bf696ebdad194

I'll have to search back, or I'll make a minor doc edit to try it out.
