Bug Fixes

• Added support for internal properties in Kotlin sources. This is a slight behavior change in Room where it will use the source name of functions while matching them to properties as getters/setters (previously, it was using JVM name of the function which is different for internal functions/properties). If you are using custom @JvmName annotations to match getters/setters to private properties, please double check the generated code after the update (If6531, b/205289020)

Wear Compose: v1.0.0-alpha14

January 12, 2022

androidx.wear.compose:compose-foundation:1.0.0-alpha14, androidx.wear.compose:compose-material:1.0.0-alpha14, and androidx.wear.compose:compose-navigation:1.0.0-alpha14 are released. Version 1.0.0-alpha14 contains these commits.

New Features

• We have added a number of methods to ScalingLazyListState to allow developer control over scrolling to specific list items and also setting the initial list item and offset.

  As part of this change we have also modified the ScalingLazyList so that it is oriented around the center of the viewport of the ScalingLazyList rather than the start of the viewport.

  A new property anchorType: ScalingLazyListAnchorType = ScalingLazyListAnchorType.ItemCenter has been added to the ScalingLazyList to control whether the center (ScalingLazyListAnchorType.ItemCenter) or Edge (ScalingLazyListAnchorType.ItemStart) should be aligned to the viewport's centerline.

  As a result the ScalingLazyListItemInfo.offset and ScalingLazyListItemInfo.adjustedOffset have changed and will now reflect the offset of the item with respect to both the position of the list item and the anchorType of the list. E.g. for a ScalingLazyColumn with anchorType of ItemCenter and an list item positioned with its center on the centerline of the viewport the offset would be 0.

  The new methods are scrollTo, animatedScrollTo, centerItemIndex, and centerItemOffset. (I61b61)

• We have added a back button handler to SwipeDismissableNavHost, so that pressing back navigates to the previous level in the navigation hierarchy. (I5b086, b/210205624)
