Activity: v1.8.0-alpha07

August 23, 2023

androidx.activity:activity:1.8.0-alpha07, androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.8.0-alpha07, and androidx.activity:activity-ktx:1.8.0-alpha07 are released. Version 1.8.0-alpha07 contains these commits.

New Features

  • Activity Compose has added a new PredictiveBackHandler Composable to handle predictive back gesture events. It provides a Flow of BackEventCompat objects that must be collected in the suspending lamba you provide:

    PredictiveBackHandler { progress: Flow<BackEventCompat> ->
  // code for gesture back started
  try {
    progress.collect { backEvent ->
    // code for progress
  }
  // code for completion
  } catch (e: CancellationException) {
    // code for cancellation
  }
}

    It also comes with a compile time warning via lint rule to ensure the Flow calls collect(). (Id2773, b/294884345)

  • The onBackPressedDispatcher in ComponentActivity is now initialized lazily so that it is only created when required. (I0bf8e)

Bug Fixes

  • ComponentActivity will no longer show a NPE on Android 13 when it gets an onBackPressed() callback and the Activity has already been DESTROYED. (Idb055, b/291869278)
  • Removed usages of experimental isAtLeastU() API (Ie9117, b/289269026)

  • Fixed large captured JPEG image issue on Samsung S7 (SM-G930T, SM-G930V) series devices. The captured JPEG images contain redundant 0's padding data in the JFIF compressed data segment. It causes the captured images to have large file size. Those redundant 0's padding data will be removed to make the captured images have normal image file sizes. (I407b0, b/288828159)
  • Fixed large captured JPEG image issue on Samsung S22 (SM-S901B, SM-S901B/DS) and S22+ (SM-S906B) series devices. The captured JPEG images contain redundant 0's padding data in the JFIF compressed data segment. It causes the captured images to have large file size about 13MB on S22 SM-S901B/DS device. Those redundant 0's padding data will be removed to make the captured images have normal image file sizes. (I73be9, b/288828159)
  • Fixed large captured JPEG image issue on Samsung A5, A52, A70 and A72 series devices. The captured JPEG images contain redundant 0's padding data in the JFIF compressed data segment. It causes the captured images to have extreme file size (ex about 32MB or even 96 MB). Those redundant 0's padding data will be removed to make the captured images have normal image file sizes. (I97c4d, b/288828159)
  • Fixed the native crash when taking pictures with Extensions enabled (I698f5)
