Material-components-android: AndroidX sources

[LouisCAD]

Hi, where can I see the AndroidX sources? It would be helpful to experiment with the project.

After building from source you can use Jetifier to update our library to reference androidx instead of android.support. E.g.:

./jetifier-standalone -i material_aars.zip -o jetified_material_aars.zip

Since new versions are targeting only AndroidX it seems, I don't understand why you keep the sources using the support libraries.

This makes it harder for people to contribute, and fork the project for AndroidX projects, so they don't and give up instead.

Our source is now migrated to androidx as of https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/commit/dc72aaeed4cb14f914d00b538cebdcd6589d3799.

H!
You will release alpha 3 with the new sources?

We have been using Jetifer to transform our library before releasing, so all 1.X released versions of our library have already had the androidx sources.
