  • Upgrading both RecyclerView and Compose will now result in much better scrolling performance for RecyclerViews with Compose views as children.

  • Add ViewCompositionStrategy.Default as a means of retrieving the built-in default strategy

  • Add ViewCompositionStrategy.DisposeOnDetachedFromWindowIfNotInPoolingContainer, which is the new default strategy and properly handles pooling containers such as RecyclerView. (If7282)

  • Updated IconCompat#getResId to have the proper resource annotation type to match the corresponding method in the framework in Icon#getResId (I49700)
  • Reverted previous change of relying solely on a View for WindowInsetsControllerCompat, and again require a Window which is required for managing some window flags.

API Changes

  • Renamed CurvedRow to CurvedLayout, and reworked to be a scope with a DSL. Using this DSL, more complex curved layouts can be specified using a series of nested curvedRow and curvedColumn (Which are the curved layout equivalents of Row and Column). Inside these layout elements, three elements can be used: curvedComposable (to add any @composable), basicCurvedText (foundation's curved text) and curvedText (wear material aware curved text). (Ib776a)
  • Make the side for the PositionIndicator configurable. The basic PositionIndicator’s position can now be configured to be End (layout direction-aware), OppositeRsb (takes into account screen rotation, to position itself opposite to the physical RSB), or the absolutes Left & Right. (I2f1f3)
  • For SwipeToDismissBox, we have renamed SwipeDismissTarget.Original to SwipeToDismissValue.Default and SwipeDismissTarget.Dismissal to SwipeToDismissValue.Dismissed. We have also moved SwipeToDismissBoxDefaults.BackgroundKey and SwipeToDismissBoxDefaults.ContentKey to SwipeToDismissKeys.Background, SwipeToDismissKeys.Content respectively. (I47a36)
  • We have added a read-only mode to Picker, for screens with multiple Pickers where only one Picker is editable at a time. When the Picker is read-only, it displays the currently selected option, and a label if one has been provided. (I879de)
  • SwipeToDismissBoxState has been refactored to restrict the scope of ExperimentalWearMaterialApi to Modifier.swipeable and SwipeableState, which are now used internally. SwipeToDismissBoxState now has currentValue, targetValue, isAnimationRunning and snapTo members to support common use cases - please let us know if you require any further properties to be made available. Also fixed the behavior of SwipeableState in the case where the swipe offset is within a rounding error of an anchor. (I58302)

Bug Fixes

  • Simplified and fixed code to detect if the content of a ScalingLazyColumn can be scrolled (used to decide if we display a scrollbar or not) (I7bce0)
  • Fixed a bug on Position Indicator when used with more than one state and switching between them (I320b5)
  • We have updated the default Compose for Wear OS theme typography/fonts to match our latest UX guidance. Of note display1 (40.sp) and display2 (34.sp) are now smaller than their previous values and various other minor updates to line height and line spacing have been made. (Ie3077)
  • We have added resistance to SwipeToDismissBox so that motion only happens when swiping to dismiss and not at all in the opposite direction. (Ifdfb9)
  • We have changed some of the default parameter values for the CircularProgressIndicator functions to bring them in-line with Wear Material Design UX guidance. For the Spinner/Indeterminant version the size (40->24.dp), indicatorColor (primary->onBackground), trackColor transparency (30%->10%) and stroke width (4->3dp) have been updated. For the Progress/Determinate version the trackColor transparency (30%->10%) has been updated. (I659cc)
  • We have updated the default scaling params of the ScalingLazyColumn in-line with the latest Wear Material Design UX specifications. Visually this results in list items starting to be scaled closer to the list center, but being less scaled at the list edge than before. (Ica8f3)
  • Some adjustments to ScalingLazyColumnDefaults.snapFlingBehavior to improve the end of the animation (If3260)

Wear Tiles: v1.1.0-alpha04

API Changes

  • Default color constants have been removed from the Tiles Material API. (I0ab55)
  • All clickable components in Tiles Material require Clickable object in their Builder’s constructor instead of an Action. (I2f101)

Bug Fixes

  • Text will now draw an ellipsis on overflow in Chip and Text component. (I8a2f8)
  • Improved components look when the user font scale is set to large. (Ib63b1)
  • Clarify Javadocs of setPrimaryChipContent in PrimaryLayout. (Ie6296)
