API Changes

  • Enable ReverseSpanDirection and SpansOrderFirst flags for Grid Helper in Compose.
    1. ReverseSpanDirection: reverse the width and height specification for spans/skips.
    2. SpansOrderFirst: spans would respect the order of the widgets. (I6ad50)
  • Use Modifier.onStartEndBoundsChanged(...) to obtain local bounds of Composables in a MotionLayout that are not affected by animation. Useful for any ui interaction that requires layout information that may also trigger animations such as DragAndDrop. (I6b5f9)

Lifecycle: v2.6.0

March 8, 2023

androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.6.0 is released. Version 2.6.0 contains these commits.

Important changes since 2.5.0

  • LiveData now includes a new isInitialized property that indicates whether an explicit value has ever been set on the LiveData, allowing you to distinguish between liveData.value returning null because no value has ever been set or an explicit null value.
  • MediatorLiveData now includes a constructor to set an initial value.
  • Added a new extension on StateFlow and Flow of collectAsStateWithLifecycle() that collect from flows and represents its latest value as Compose State in a lifecycle-aware manner.
  • Lifecycle.launchWhenX methods and Lifecycle.whenX methods have been deprecated as the use of a pausing dispatcher can lead to wasted resources in some cases. It is recommended to use Lifecycle.repeatOnLifecycle. For more information about one-time suspending work, please see this explanation on why this is inherently unsafe.
  • Kotlin Conversion - A large number of Lifecycle classes have been converted to Kotlin. All converted classes still retain their binary compatibility with previous versions. The following classes have source incompatible changes for classes written in Kotlin: ViewTreeLifecycleOwner, LiveDataReactiveStreams, HasDefaultViewModelProviderFactory, ViewTreeViewModelStoreOwner, Transformations, ViewModelStoreOwner, LifecycleOwner

The table below provides the source conversions for the new version of lifecycle.

Lifecycle 2.5 Lifecycle 2.5 (KTX) Lifecycle 2.6
Transformations.switchMap(liveData) {...} liveData.switchMap {...} liveData.switchMap {...}
Transformations.map(liveData) {...} liveData.map {...} liveData.map {...}
Transformations.distinctUntilChanged(liveData) {...} liveData.distinctUntilChanged{...} liveData.distinctUntilChanged{...}
LiveDataReactiveStreams.fromPublisher(publisher) publisher.toLiveData() publisher.toLiveData()
LiveDataReactiveStreams.toPublisher(lifecycleOwner, liveData) liveData.toPublisher(lifecycleOwner) liveData.toPublisher(lifecycleOwner)
override fun getDefaultViewModelProviderFactory(): ViewModelProvider.Factory = factory override fun getDefaultViewModelProviderFactory(): ViewModelProvider.Factory = factory override val defaultViewModelProviderFactory = factory
override fun getDefaultViewModelCreationExtras(): CreationExtras = extras override fun getDefaultViewModelCreationExtras(): CreationExtras = extras override val defaultViewModelProviderCreationExtras = extras
ViewTreeLifecycleOwner.set(view, owner) ViewTreeLifecycleOwner.set(view, owner) view.setViewTreeLifecycleOwner(owner)
ViewTreeLifecycleOwner.get(view) view.findViewTreeLifecycleOwner() view.findViewTreeLifecycleOwner()
override fun getViewModelStore(): ViewModelStore = store override fun getViewModelStore(): ViewModelStore = store override val viewModelStore: ViewModelStore = store
override fun getLifecycle(): Lifecycle = registry override fun getLifecycle(): Lifecycle = registry override val lifecycle: Lifecycle get() = registry
  • The nullability of the onChanged method of a Observer created in Kotlin now matches the nullability of the generic type. If you want Observer.onChanged() to accept a nullable type, you must instantiate the Observer with a nullable type.
  • These classes were also converted to Kotlin, but remain source compatible: DefaultLifecycleObserver, LifecycleEventObserver, Lifecycle, LifecycleRegistry, LifecycleObserver, ViewModelStore, AndroidViewModel, AbstractSavedStateViewModelFactory, LifecycleService, ServiceLifecycleDispatcher, and ProcessLifecycleOwner

  • Fixed a regression in 2.6.0-alpha06 that caused the wrong MenuItem in the BottomNavigationView to be highlighted when using System back between tabs. (I634f6, b/270447657)
  • Fixed regression in 2.6.0-alpha06 that caused NavBackStackEntrys not to be moved to the RESUMED state when using Animations. (Ib3589, b/269646882)

If you are using Compose 1.2.0-beta02 or higher and were using the MyComposeAdapter and DisposeOnViewTreeLifecycleDestroyed ViewCompositionStrategy described in the previous interoperability guidelines, you should remove these, as they are no longer an improvement over the default state.

  • We have added the following custom annotations for previewing composables on Wear screens: WearPreviewSmallRound previews the composable on a small, round device; WearPreviewLargeRound previews the composable on a large round device; WearPreviewSquare previews the composable on a square device. Also, the following and multi-preview annotations: WearPreviewFontScales previews the composables on a wear device with multiple font sizes, while WearPreviewDevices previews the composables on different wear devices. To use these previews, you must be using the latest Android Studio (Giraffe Canary 6) or beyond. Please note that if these annotations do not suit your purpose, Preview can still be used and supports further customisations via parameters. (I397ff)
