Navigation: v2.7.0-alpha01

May 24, 2023

androidx.navigation:navigation-*:2.7.0-alpha01 is released. Version 2.7.0-alpha01 contains these commits.

Animations from Accompanist

Now that AnimatedContent is stable, we were able to move the code from Accompanist Navigation Animation back into Navigation Compose itself.

This means all of the support for setting custom transitions that existed in AnimatedNavHost is directly supported in NavHost.

No additional changes will be made to Accompanist Navigation Animation and we’ll be formally deprecating it soon, along with guidance on how to migrate back to Navigation Compose itself, but it'll be the inverse of the migration guide with no other API changes required if you're already using the latest Accompanist alpha (0.31.2-alpha). (b/197140101)

Bug Fixes

• From Navigation 2.6.0-rc02: Fixed an issue with Navigation in Fragments where navigating with popUpTo and popping a fragment off the back stack without recreating its view would cause system back to stop working. (Ieb8d4, b/281726455)

Paging: v3.2.0-alpha06

May 24, 2023

androidx.paging:paging-*:3.2.0-alpha06 is released. Version 3.2.0-alpha06 contains these commits.

New Features

• Added a new PagingSourceFactory functional interface that provides a more explicit API surface than the existing () -> PagingSource lambdas. This factory can be used to instantiate a Pager. (I33165, b/280655188)
• Added new paging-testing API of List<Value>.asPagingSourceFactory() to get a PagingSourceFactory that only loads from an immutable list of data. The existing extension on Flow<List<Value>> should still be used for testing with multiple generations of static data. (Id34d1, b/280655188)

API Changes

• All public APIs in paging-testing are now annotated with @VisibleForTesting to ensure these APIs are used only in tests. (I7db6e)
• The asSnapshot API no longer requires passing in a CoroutineScope. It now defaults to using the context inherited from its parent scope. (Id0a78, b/282240990)
• Reordered TestPager constructor parameters to intuitively match the order of real Pager constructor parameters (I6185a)
• Migrated paging-testing's use of lambda type () -> PagingSource<Key, Value> to type PagingSourceFactory<Key, Value>. (I4a950, b/280655188)

Behavior Changes

• Main dispatcher is no longer required to run asSnapshot Paging tests. Setting it no longer makes any changes to the test behavior. (Ie56ea)

Paging Compose: v1.0.0-alpha20

May 24, 2023

androidx.paging:paging-compose:1.0.0-alpha20 is released. Version 1.0.0-alpha20 contains these commits.

New Features

• Paging Compose now supports previewing a list of fake data by creating a PagingData.from(fakeData) and wrapping that PagingData in a MutableStateFlow (e.g., MutableStateFlow(PagingData.from(listOf(1, 2, 3)))). By using that data as the input into your @Preview, calls to collectAsLazyPagingItems() will provide previewable LazyPagingItems. (I8a78d, b/194544557)

Bug Fixes

• Cached data from pager.flow.cachedIn that has been collected in LazyPagingItems will now be immediately available after state restoration without requiring asynchronous collection. This means the cached data will be ready for presentation immediately upon initial composition after state is restored. (I97a60, b/177245496)

The fix is still available, but has become an opt-in so developers can decide on a case by case basis. Enable the fix by calling WindowInsetsApplier.install(viewPager2)). (Ic9a85)

Bug Fixes

• Fix compatibility issues with newer versions of RecyclerView. Users of this version of ViewPager2 should update to at least RecyclerView 1.3.1-rc01.

What’s in Compose for Wear OS 1.2

The 1.2-beta01 release of Compose for Wear OS indicates that this release of the library is feature complete and the API is locked (except where marked as experimental). Wear Compose 1.2 includes the following new functionality:

• expandableItem and expandableItems are two new Foundation components that support expanding items within a ScalingLazyColumn. Use expandableItem for a single expandable item, such as Text in which the number of lines. Use expandableItems for a group of expandable items and expandableButton to simplify creating a button that collapses after the content is expanded.
• HierarchicalFocusCoordinator - this experimental composable enables marking sub-trees of the composition as focus enabled or focus disabled PickerGroup - a new composable for handling multiple pickers together. It handles focus between the pickers using the HierarchicalFocusCoordinator API and enables auto-centering of picker items.
• Picker - the API now includes userScrollEnabled to control whether the picker is active for user scrolling.
• Placeholder - we have made updates to the shimmer and ‘Wipe Off’ animations. The wipe-off effect is now immediately applied when the content is ready.
• ScalingLazyColumn - we have migrated ScalingLazyColumn and associated classes from androidx.wear.compose.material.ScalingLazyColumn to androidx.wear.compose.foundation.lazy.ScalingLazyColumn. Please update to use the Foundation.Lazy version.
• SwipeToReveal - we have added experimental support for swipe-to-reveal as a means to access secondary actions, supplementing the existing ‘long press’ pattern.
• Stepper - now has an overload with an additional enableRangeSemantics parameter to facilitate disabling the default range semantics.
• Previews - 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.
• We have added a DefaultTextStyle to Wear Compose which defaults the PlatformTextStyle.includeFontPadding property to true (this is the current setting). This will allow us to synchronize turning off font padding by default with the Compose libraries in an early 1.3 alpha version - see 1.2.0-alpha10 for more information.

New Features

• We have added experimental support for disabled scaling and fading animation when reduce_motion setting is switched on. (I58024)

Bug Fixes

• Improved documentation for angularWidthDp in CurvedSize.kt (Iab75c)
• SwipeDismissableNavHost now logs a warning with potential causes of empty backstack. This is done to prevent unexpected crashes caused because of IllegalArgumentException which was thrown when the backstack was empty. (I04a81, b/277700155)

Wear Compose Material3: v1.0.0-alpha05

May 24, 2023

androidx.wear.compose:compose-material3:1.0.0-alpha05 is released. Version 1.0.0-alpha05 contains these commits.

New Features

• We have added TextButton to Material3, a circular button with a single slot for text. For different sizes of TextButton, we recommend using Modifier.touchTargetAwareSize and ExtraSmallButtonSize, SmallButtonSize, DefaultButtonSize and LargeButtonSizeIcon provided in TextButtonDefaults. The default TextButton has no border and a transparent background for low emphasis actions. For actions that require high emphasis, use filledTextButtonColors; for a medium-emphasis, outlined TextButton, set the border to ButtonDefaults.outlinedButtonBorder; for a middle ground between outlined and filled, use filledTonalTextButtonColors. (I667e4)
• We have added Card, OutlinedCard, AppCard and TitleCard into the Wear Compose Material3 library. AppCard and TitleCard can also be given the outlined appearance using CardDefaults.outlinedCardColors and CardDefaults.outlinedCardBorder(I80e72)

API Changes

• We have moved the Button label parameter to the end to support trailing lambda syntax and removed the role parameter (as this can be overridden using Modifier.semantics). ButtonColors constructors are now public. (Ie1b6d)

wear protolayout: v1.0.0-alpha10

May 24, 2023

androidx.wear.protolayout:protolayout-*:1.0.0-alpha10 is released. Version 1.0.0-alpha10 contains these commits.

New Features

• Add AppDataKey for accessing app pushed state; Add PlatformDataKey for accessing platform data; Add namespace support in StateStore. (I7985e)
• Support Equal and NotEqual operations for DynamicBool. (I6a0c1)

API Changes

• FontStyles class is now final (Iaa2ea)
• LayoutElementBuilders#FontStyles has been deprecated. Please use androidx.wear.protolayout.Typography or create your own FontStyle. (Ic929b)
• Hide Action#Builder nested interface from Action interface. Implementations of Builder are already provided by LoadAction and LaunchAction classes. (I1d70c)
• Allow using DynamicFloat with FloatProp. Note that FloatProp do no require layout constraints as it's not used as a layout changing prop. (I286ac)
• The LoalAction and SetStateAction actions are removed as they were not really supported yet. (I5d6a6)
• Added support for ARGB_8888 format for inline image resources. (I8a07c)
• Rename StateEntryValue to DynamicDataValue, and update the state APIS to use the DynamicDataKey (If1c01)
• We are limiting the number of entries that are allowed in the StateStore in order to ensure that memory usage and state update time are well contained and controlled for each instance of the StateStore. As a result, the developer needs to ensure that they do not have more than MAX_STATE_ENTRY_COUNT entries in the map otherwise they will get an IllegalStateException when creating or updating the StateStore. (Ibadb3)
• Hide OnLoadTrigger and OnConditionMetTrigger classes, and rename setTrigger to setCondition for OnConditionMetTrigger. (Ibf629)
• For performance and compatibility reasons, the ProtoLayout renderers won't support the full set of features in AnimatedVectorDrawable resources. We're marking those APIs as experimental until we can define the supported set. (Ic6daf)
• Added dynamic types for daily distance, daily calories and daily floors. Keys for platform health sources are now under PlatformHealthSources.Keys (Ib7637)
• The Easing.cubicBezier method replaces the CubicBezierEasing.Builder. With that the EasingFunction class is removed and the easing constants from that class are now directly accessible from the Easing interface. In addition setInfiniteRepeatable is replaced by INFINITE_REPEATABLE_WITH_RESTART and INFINITE_REPEATABLE_WITH_REVERSE (Ib41e7)
• Implement PlatformDataProvider to provide heart rate and daily steps. SensorGateway interface is removed from public API. (I55b84)
• Add PlatformDataProvider, and update StateStore to register to PlatformDataProvider when the provider's supported key is required by node from expression pipeline. (Ib616a)
• SensorGateway is no longer Closeable as it no longer maintains any state. (I6b4f7)
• Allow using FloatProp with DynamicFloat for progress in CircularProgressIndicator. This is supported for renderers supporting version 1.2. Old renderers will fallback to the staticValue if provided, otherwise to 0 (I0d91b)
• MultiButtonLayout constants have been refactored into LayoutDefaults.MultiButtonLayoutDefaults class which now contains those for button sizes depending on a number of buttons in the layout. (I13973)
• Support using StringProp with DynamicString in Material Text. This is supported for renderers supporting version 1.2. Old renderers will fallback to the provided static value. Update Text#getText return type from String to StringProp. (I7275b)

Wear Tiles: v1.2.0-alpha06

May 24, 2023

androidx.wear.tiles:tiles-*:1.2.0-alpha06 is released. Version 1.2.0-alpha06 contains these commits.

API Changes

• Rename StateEntryValue to DynamicDataValue, and update the state APIs to use the DynamicDataKey (If1c01)
• We are limiting the number of entries that are allowed in the StateStore in order to ensure that memory usage and state update time are well contained and controlled for each instance of the StateStore. As a result, the developer needs to ensure that they do not have more than MAX_STATE_ENTRY_COUNT entries in the map otherwise they will get an IllegalStateException when creating or updating the StateStore. (Ibadb3)

Webkit: v1.7.0

May 24, 2023

androidx.webkit:webkit:1.7.0 is released. Version 1.7.0 contains these commits.

Important changes since 1.6.0

• We added support for Image drag in WebView. You can enable your users to drag images out of the WebView by adding the new DropDataContentProvider to your app's manifest as described in the class documentation.
• We added the ProcessGlobalConfig#setDirectoryBasePaths(Context,File,File) API which can be used to set the base directories that WebView will use for the current process. As with all methods on ProcessGlobalConfig, this method must be called before the first instance of WebView is instantiated. This method is added to provide Android framework the capability to tweak WebView settings. For general purpose applications, using this method is not recommended.

WindowManager: v1.2.0-alpha01
