API Changes

Bug Fixes

  • NavHost now depend on visibleEntries from the NavController to determine which entries to compose. This means that when using nested NavHost the inner NavHost should now properly animate out. (I4ba2b, b/225394514)
  • The visibleEntries StateFlow provided by NavController is now based on the entry max Lifecycle state instead of the current Lifecycle state. This means that even if the host lifecycle of the navController goes below STARTED, the list of visible entires will remain the same. (I9e2a8, b/225394514)
  • SavedStateViewFactory now supports using CreationExtras even when it was initialized with a SavedStateRegistryOwner. If extras are provided, the initialized arguments are ignored. (I6c43b, b/224844583)

New Features

  • You can now retrieve a previously registered SavedStateProvider from a SavedStateRegistry via getSavedStateProvider(). (I7ea47, b/215406268)

API Changes

  • The SavedStateRegistryOwner, SavedStateRegistryController, and Recreator classes have been rewritten in Kotlin. For SavedStateRegistryOwner, this is a source incompatible change for those classes written in Kotlin - you must now override the savedStateRegistry property rather than implement the previous getSavedStateRegistry() function. This is binary compatible and source compatible for implementations written in the Java programming language. (b/220191285)

Sqlite: v2.3.0-alpha02

April 6, 2022

androidx.sqlite:sqlite:2.3.0-alpha02, androidx.sqlite:sqlite-framework:2.3.0-alpha02, and androidx.sqlite:sqlite-ktx:2.3.0-alpha02 are released. Version 2.3.0-alpha02 contains these commits.

New Features

  • Add edgeSwipeToDismiss modifier for SwipeToDismiss. Allows swipeToDismiss to be active only on the left edge of the viewport. Used when the center of the screen needs to be able to handle horizontal paging, such as 2-d scrolling a Map or swiping horizontally between pages.(I3fcec, b/200699800)

API Changes

  • Base implementation of CurvedModifiers , this opens the way to introduce ways to customize curved content (but no CurvedModifiers are provided yet, and the ability to create custom modifiers may be available later) (I9b8df)
  • EdgeSwipemodifier documentation and default values update for better understanding .(I6d00d)
  • Add PageIndicator slot into Scaffold. By adding PageIndicator directly into Scaffold we might assure that it will be correctly shown on circular devices. (Ia6042)
  • Remove default Icons from InlineSlider and Stepper parameters. This will help developers to be more attentive to localization and accessibility requirements. Usages of default icons were shown in demos and samples. (I7e6fd)
  • Replace Trailing and Leading parameter names with Start and End in TimeText (Iaac32)
  • We have added a SwipeToDismissBox overload with an onDismissed parameter to support the common usage of triggering a navigation event when the swipe gesture has completed. (I50353, b/226565726)
  • Removed ExperimentalWearMaterialApi annotations from TimeText usage (Ide520)
  • We have marked ScalingLazyList/Column scope and info interfaces as sealed as they are not intended for external developers to implement and this will allow us to add new members in them in future without binary breaking changes. (I7d99f)
  • We have added a new flingBehaviour property to the Picker and a PickerDefaults.flingBehaviour() method to enable configuration of the fling behavior such as adding RSB support. PickerState now implements the ScrollableState interface. (Ib89c7)

Bug Fixes

  • Update the Android Runtime (ART) baseline profile rules for Wear Compose libraries. ART can leverage profile rules on devices in order to compile ahead-of-time a specific subset of the application to improve the performance of the application. Note that this will have no effect on debuggable applications. (Iaa8ef)
  • Improve documentation (I2c051)

Wear Tiles: v1.1.0-alpha05

April 6, 2022

API Changes

  • Renderer.CanvasRenderer and Renderer.GlesRenderer have been deprecated in favor of Renderer.CanvasRenderer2 and Renderer.GlesRenderer2 which support SharedAssets which are passed to the render methods. For java interop we've introduced ListenableCanvasRenderer2 and ListenableGlesRenderer2. (I31ffa)
  • Added @WatchFaceFlavorsExperimental ability to define flavors - preconfigured list of styled watchfaces (I04dd0)
  • Renderer.sharedAssets is now a StateFlow and we've removed the unused Renderer.SharedAssetsFactory (I12ac5)
  • UserStyleSchema.userStyleSettings is not deprecated anymore (Iba7e3)
  • We've added HeadlessWatchFaceClient.getUserStyleSchemaDigestHash which allows a HeadlessWatchFaceClient to avoid the relatively low overhead of passing the schema over AIDL before computing the digest hash. (I33597)
  • We've added isUserStyleSchemaStatic to WatchFaceMetadataClient which is true if and only if the UserStyleSchema can be relied on not to change unless the watch face APK is updated. (I45a3f)
  • We have added getDigestHash to UserStyleSchema which computes a digest hash of the schema. This can be used to efficiently determine if the UserStyleSchema has changed. (I2063d)
  • METADATA_KEY_DATA_SOURCE_DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION_SUPPORTED renamed to METADATA_KEY_DATA_SOURCE_DEFAULT_CONFIG_SUPPORTED (I9ba5d)
  • UserStyleSetting.OnWatchEditorData has been renamed to UserStyleSetting.WatchFaceEditorData, it contains data that's used purely by the on watch face editor. (If3afb)

androidx.work:work-*:2.8.0-alpha02 is released. Version 2.8.0-alpha02 contains these commits.

API Changes

  • Constraints can now be directly constructed rather than using Builder, which is convenient for Kotlin users. (Idc390, b/137568653)
  • Added the ability to check if WorkManager has been initialized. Also, added a new getConfiguration() API for library developers to get the configuration that WorkManager was initialized with. (I6eff3, b/212300336)
