API Changes

Added experimental MacrobenchmarkRule#measureRepeated variant which takes a custom PerfettoConfig for fully customized Perfetto trace recording. Note that incorrectly configured configs may cause built in Metric classes to fail. (Idfd3d, b/309841164, b/304038384)
Rename PowerMetric.deviceSupportsPowerEnergy to PowerMetric.deviceSupportsHighPrecisionTracking for clarity (I5b82f)
Added PowerMetric.deviceBatteryHasMinimumCharge() and PowerMetric.deviceSupportsPowerEnergy() to enable changing or skipping benchmarks based on device power measurement capability. (I6a591, b/322121218)

Compose Foundation: v1.7.0-alpha08

May 1, 2024

androidx.compose.foundation:foundation-*:1.7.0-alpha08 is released. Version 1.7.0-alpha08 contains these commits.

New Features

Added right-click context menu to BasicTextField and SelectionContainer with items for cut, copy, paste, and select-all actions. (If8c93, Ia2b49, I6f268)

API Changes

LazyLayout prefetch requests can be marked as urgent now, meaning that we expect this item to be needed in the next frame and want to ignore frame budget to make sure to do more work in advance (Id513f)
Renamed isPositionedByParentWithDirectManipulation to introducesFrameOfReference. Note that it now has the reverse effect, meaning that by default, most LayoutCoordinates introduce a frame of reference, and, only when placed under direct manipulation the property will be false. To query position with only those that introduce a frame of reference, use positionInLocalFrameOfReference(...). Or positionInLocalLookaheadFrameOfReference from a LookaheadScope. (Ifc5f7)
Renamed onClicked to onClick inside LinkInteractionListener (Iaa35c)
Change action lambda for getScrollViewportLength as per API council feedback. (Ibc74a)
Renamed stylus handwriting delegation APIs. (Ica45f, b/327271923)
Rename TextInclusionStrategy.isInside to isIncluded. Make Paragraph/MultiParagraph#getRangeForRect() return type non nullable. (I51f26)

Bug Fixes

Added "Select all" to all text contextual menus in SelectionContainer. (Ib750e, b/240143283)
Fixed long screenshot capture for scrolling containers with reverseScrolling=true. (I7c59c)
Fixed an issue where AnchoredDraggableState's currentValue would change when approaching the state's bounds. (Iea30b, b/333846848)

External Contribution

Renamed PrefetchExecutor -> PrefetchScheduler to better reflect its responsibilities. (Ib9154)
Added support for prefetching items in nested LazyLists (e.g. a LazyColumn that renders nested LazyRows). This change is expected to reduce frame drops during scrolling for these LazyLists. The implementation default is to prefetch the first 2 nested items, however this behavior can be controlled by the new LazyLayoutPrefetchStrategy(nestedPrefetchItemCount) and LazyListPrefetchStrategy#onNestedPrefetch APIs. (I51952)

Compose Material: v1.6.7

May 1, 2024

androidx.compose.material:material-*:1.6.7 is released. Version 1.6.7 contains these commits.

API Changes

Fix backgroundColor not applying to TextFieldDecorationBox and OutlinedTextFieldDecorationBox. Decoration boxes now accept a shape parameter. (I371c2, b/307694651)
RippleConfiguration#isEnabled has been removed, and LocalRippleConfiguration has been made nullable. To disable a ripple, instead of providing a RippleConfiguration with isEnabled = false, provide null to LocalRippleConfiguration. (I22725)
Text links have a pressed state styling option in addition to normal styling, hovered and focused. TextDefaults methods each have a pressedStyle argument to support that. (Ic473f, b/139312671)

Bug Fixes

OutlinedTextField top padding for label now accounts for system font size. (Idc781)

Compose Material3: v1.3.0-alpha06

May 1, 2024

androidx.compose.material3:material3-*:1.3.0-alpha06 is released. Version 1.3.0-alpha06 contains these commits.

Breaking Changes

New pull-to-refresh APIs:
- Simplified PullToRefreshState to use fractional values instead of Dp units.
- isRefreshing state is controlled by the user instead of PullToRefreshState.
- Separated out the nested scroll connection from PullToRefreshState. It is handled by the new PullToRefreshBox or Modifier.pullToRefresh.
- This update is a breaking change to previous experimental APIs. (I0adeb, b/314496282, b/317177684, b/323787138, b/324573502, b/317177683)

API Changes

RippleConfiguration#isEnabled has been removed, and LocalRippleConfiguration has been made nullable. To disable a ripple, instead of providing a RippleConfiguration with isEnabled = false, provide null to LocalRippleConfiguration. (I22725)
ModalBottomSheet more accurately draws scrim over status bar when edge to edge is enabled. Modal bottom sheet content can now consume window insets, allowing for visible content above the navigation bar. ModalBottomSheet parameter windowInsets renamed to contentWindowInsets to specify where the insets will be applied, these are no longer tied to window logic. contentWindowInsets type has been changed to a function which returns WindowInsets, to allow it to be resolved within its new window. (I39630, b/274872542, b/300280229, b/290893168)
PrimaryScrollableTabRow and SecondaryScrollableTabRow now use custom layout instead of subcomposition, which should improve performance. (I991e0)
Text links got pressed state styling option in addition to normal styling, hovered and focused. TextDefaults methods each got a pressedStyle argument to support that. (Ic473f, b/139312671)

Bug Fixes

Navigation drawer drag anchors now match the drawerContent's width. (Ibc72f, b/245355396)
OutlinedTextField top padding for label now accounts for system font size. (Idc781)
Fixed package location of CalendarLocale. (Ifa235)
[Predictive Back] Update predictive back animations to use interpolation curve of (0.1, 0.1, 0, 1) (I2591a)

Compose UI: v1.7.0-alpha08

May 1, 2024

androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.7.0-alpha08 is released. Version 1.7.0-alpha08 contains these commits.

API Changes

Adds support for mutable shape implementations. Shape#createOutline is now observed inside graphics layers, so reading state values inside will cause invalidations when the state changes, allowing for more performant shape animations. (Id1629, b/326070216)
Renamed isPositionedByParentWithDirectManipulation to introducesFrameOfReference. Note that it now has the reverse effect, meaning that by default, most LayoutCoordinates introduce a frame of reference, and, only when placed under direct manipulation the property will be false. To query position with only those that introduce a frame of reference, use positionInLocalFrameOfReference(...). Or positionInLocalLookaheadFrameOfReference from a LookaheadScope. (Ifc5f7)
LookaheadScope APIs have been made stable (I21507)
Change action lambda for getScrollViewportLength as per API council feedback. (Ibc74a)
Updated GraphicsLayer outline APIs to consume float parameters instead of int. Removed UnsetOffset/UnsetSize IntSize sentinel values in favor of already existing Unspecified constants on float based Offset and Size inline classes (I2fb03, b/333863462)
When injecting mouse input during tests, MouseInjectionScope.click(), MouseInjectionScope.doubleClick(), MouseInjectionScope.tripleClick(), MouseInjectionScope.longClick() now accept a button: MouseButton parameter to make them more universally applicable. The default value is MouseButton.Primary for all methods. (I31a23, b/190493367, b/261439695)
Renamed onClicked to onClick inside LinkInteractionListener. (Iaa35c)
Rename TextInclusionStrategy.isInside to isIncluded. Make Paragraph/MultiParagraph#getRangeForRect() return type non nullable. (I51f26)

Bug Fixes

Fixed long screenshot capture for scrolling containers with reverseScrolling=true. (I7c59c)

External Contribution

Added support for prefetching items in nested LazyLists (e.g. a LazyColumn that renders nested LazyRows). This change is expected to reduce frame drops during scrolling for these LazyLists. The implementation default is to prefetch the first 2 nested items, however this behavior can be controlled by the new LazyLayoutPrefetchStrategy(nestedPrefetchItemCount) and LazyListPrefetchStrategy#onNestedPrefetch APIs. (I51952)

May 1, 2024

androidx.datastore:datastore-*:1.1.1 is released. Version 1.1.1 contains these commits.

Bug Fixes

Mitigated Linux false alarm on "Resource deadlock would occur" error in a corner case multiple DataStore instances attempt to write from different processes by backing off the file lock.

Fragment: v1.7.0

May 1, 2024

androidx.fragment:fragment-*:1.7.0 is released. Version 1.7.0 contains these commits.

Predictive Back Gesture Support

Fragments now provide support for Predictive in-app back when using Animator or when using AndroidX Transition 1.5.0. This allows users to use the back gesture to see the previous fragment by seeking your Animator/Transition before deciding to either commit the transaction via completing the gesture or canceling.

Transition System	XML Resource	Supports Predictive Back
`Animation`	`R.anim`	No
`Animator`	`R.animator`	Yes
Framework `Transition`	`R.transition`	No
AndroidX `Transition` with Transition 1.4.1 or less	`R.transition`	No
AndroidX `Transition` with Transition 1.5.0	`R.transition`	Yes

If you see any issues with Predictive Back support in Fragments after you’ve opted into the predictive back gesture, please file an issue against Fragment with a sample project that reproduces your issue. You can disable predictive back by using FragmentManager.enabledPredictiveBack(false) in the onCreate() of your Activity.

FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener() now provides the onBackStackChangeProgressed() and onBackStackChangeCancelled() for receiving predictive back progress and canceled events respectively.

Fragment Compose Artifact

A new fragment-compose artifact has been created that focuses on supporting apps that are in the process of moving from a Fragment based architecture to a fully Compose based architecture.

The first feature available in this new artifact is a content extension method on Fragment that seeks to make it easier to use Compose for the UI of an individual Fragment by creating a ComposeView for you and setting the correct ViewCompositionStrategy.

  class ExampleFragment : Fragment() {
  override fun onCreateView(
      inflater: LayoutInflater,
      container: ViewGroup?,
      savedInstanceState: Bundle?
  ) = content {
      // Write your @Composable content here
      val viewModel: ExampleViewModel = viewModel()

      // or extract it into a separate, testable method
      ExampleComposable(viewModel)
  }

}

Graphics Path: v1.0.1

May 1, 2024

androidx.graphics:graphics-path:1.0.1 is released. Version 1.0.1 contains these commits.

May 1, 2024

androidx.graphics:graphics-shapes:1.0.0-beta01, androidx.graphics:graphics-shapes-android:1.0.0-beta01, and androidx.graphics:graphics-shapes-desktop:1.0.0-beta01 are released. Version 1.0.0-beta01 contains these commits.

API Changes

Allow shapes to be pre-rotated to start at a different point. This change allows pillStar shapes to start their curves from a non-default point on the perimeter. This can be useful when animating the stroking of the shape's path, to start drawing from a specific location on the shape's outline. (Ifbb4d, b/324303807)
Added calculateBounds() functions to Morph, which parallel the same functions on RoundedPolygon. (I8a3b6, b/325463575)

input: v1.0.0-beta04

May 1, 2024

androidx.input:input-motionprediction:1.0.0-beta04 is released. Version 1.0.0-beta04 contains these commits.

Fix down event time for the multi pointer events (04824a).
Fix historical timestamp for the first pointer (dee0b0).
Fix bad historical time when multiple pointers are present (1189fa).

Lifecycle: v2.8.0-rc01

May 1, 2024

androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.8.0-rc01 is released. Version 2.8.0-rc01 contains these commits.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where the Baseline Profile for lifecycle-common classes was not properly packaged. These are now packaged in the lifecycle-runtime AAR. (aosp/3038274, b/322382422)
Fixed an unintentional ordering change in how AutoCloseable instances attached to a ViewModel are cleared - the previous order of addCloseable(String, AutoCloseable), then addClosable(AutoCloseable), then onCleared() has been restored. (aosp/3041632)
Improve the default creation behavior for viewModelScope for native and JVM Desktop environments. (aosp/3039221)

External Contribution

Thanks Victor Kropp for improving the checking for the main thread on JVM Desktop. (aosp/3037116)

Navigation: v2.8.0-alpha08

May 1, 2024

androidx.navigation:navigation-*:2.8.0-alpha08 is released. Version 2.8.0-alpha08 contains these commits.

Safe Args in Navigation Compose

The work to support compile time type safety for Navigation Compose and users of the Navigation Kotlin DSL based on Kotlin Serialization has completed and previously experimental APIs are now stable. (Iea94d, I0eb0d, I873b7, I3a64b, I6c3a2, I11f0b, Ic3032, I8d394, I95710, Ice060, Id0e55, I45f8b, Idcdaf, If5380, I08b23, Ia5c59, b/188693139)

This functionality uses Kotlin Serialization to allow you to define destinations in your navigation graph via type safe objects and data classes:

  // Define a home destination that doesn't take any arguments
  @Serializable
  object Home
// Define a profile destination that takes an ID

@Serializable

data class Profile(val id: String)
// Now define your NavHost using type safe objects

NavHost(navController, startDestination = Home) {

composable<Home> {

HomeScreen(onNavigateToProfile = { id ->

navController.navigate(Profile(id))

})

}

composable<Profile> { backStackEntry ->

val profile: Profile = backStackEntry.toRoute()

ProfileScreen(profile)

}

}

See the Navigation Compose meet Type Safety blog post for more information.

New Features

The navigation-fragment-compose artifact now provides a LocalFragment composition local to composable methods within a ComposableFragment. (If35e5)
NavType now has built-in support for Lists of Int, String, Boolean, Float, and Long. (I4b6dd, Ia914c, b/188693139)

Paging: v3.3.0-rc01

May 1, 2024

androidx.paging:paging-*:3.3.0-rc01 is released with no changes in Paging 3.3.0-beta01. Version 3.3.0-rc01 contains these commits.

Room: v2.7.0-alpha01

May 1, 2024

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

New Features

Kotlin Multi-Platform (KMP) Support: In this release, Room has been refactored to become a Kotlin Multi-Platform (KMP) library. Although there is still some work to be done, this release introduces a new version of Room where the majority of the functionality has been “common-ized” (made to be multiplatform). Current supported platforms are Android, iOS, JVM (Desktop), native Mac and native Linux. Any missing functionality in the newly supported platforms will be made “feature-complete” in upcoming Room releases.

For more information on how to get started using Room KMP, please refer to the official Room KMP documentation.

Kotlin Code Generation on KSP has been turned ON by default if processing is done via KSP. For KAPT or Java only projects, Room will still generate Java sources.

API Changes

An overload of Room.databaseBuilder() has been added that takes a lambda parameter that is meant to be used with a Room generated function to avoid using reflection when instantiating the generated RoomDatabase implementation. Example usage is: kotlin Room.databaseBuilder<MyDatabase>( context = appContext name = dbFilePath, factory = { MyDatabase::class.instantiateImpl() } )
An API for configuring a Room with a CoroutineContext has been added to the builder: RoomDatabase.Builder.setQueryCoroutineContext. Note that a RoomDatabase can only be configured with either executors using setQueryExecutor or with a Coroutine context but not both.
An API for configuring Room with a SQLite Driver has been added: RoomDatabase.Builder.setDriver(). For more information about the SQLite Driver API refer to the SQLite KMP documentation
APIs for accessing the underlying SQLiteConnection from driver APIs have been added: RoomDatabase.useReaderConnection and RoomDatabase.useWriterConnection.
Varios Room related callbacks now have an overloaded version that receive SQLiteConnection instead of SupportSQLiteDatabase. These are intended to be overridden when migrating to a KMP project. For more information about migrating Room usages in an Android app to a common KMP module refer to the migration guide. The callbacks are:
- Migration.migrate(SQLiteConnection)
- AutoMigrationSpec.onPostMigrate(SQLiteConnection)
- RoomDatabase.Callback.onCreate(SQLiteConnection)
- RoomDatabase.Callback.onDestructiveMigration(SQLiteConnection)
- RoomDatabase.Callback.onOpen(SQLiteConnection)
The KTX artifact androidx.room:room-ktx has been merged to androidx.room:room-runtime along with all its APIs, the artifact is now blank. Please remove it from your dependency list.

Sqlite: v2.5.0-alpha01

May 1, 2024

androidx.sqlite:sqlite-*:2.5.0-alpha01 is released. Version 2.5.0-alpha01 contains these commits.

New Features

Kotlin Multi-Platform (KMP) Support: With the release of Room 2.7.0-alpha01 which is the first release of Room KMP, the SQLite APIs that enable Room to be KMP have also been updated. The package andriodx.sqlite contains three interfaces that define low-level SQLite APIs: SQLiteDriver, SQLiteConnection and SQLiteStatement. The artifact androidx.sqlite:sqlite-framework offers implementation of the interfaces for Android and iOS Natively, while androidx.sqlite:sqlite-bundled offers an implementation that uses SQLite compiled from source (also known as “bundled SQLite”). For more information about the SQLite Driver API refer to the official SQLite KMP documentation.

Transition: v1.5.0

May 1, 2024

androidx.transition:transition:1.5.0 and androidx.transition:transition-ktx:1.5.0 are released. Version 1.5.0 contains these commits.

Important changes since 1.4.0

Transitions support seeking on API 34 and above. A new API was added to TransitionManager, controlDelayedTransition(), which returns a TransitionSeekController that allows seeking the Transition. This functionality is used by Fragment 1.7.0 to automatically seek transitions when using the Predictive Back Gesture.
Transitions have a new method, getRootTransition(), that returns the Transition containing the current Transition or the current Transition if it isn't contained by any other Transition. This can be useful if the developer needs to have listeners for when the entire Transition starts or ends.
TransitionListeners now have new onTransitionStart() and onTransitionEnd() listeners that allow the developer to know whether the transition is starting or ending going in reverse or not. This can be important for developing seekable transitions that have TransitionListeners.

Tv-Material: v1.0.0-beta01

May 1, 2024

androidx.tv:tv-material:1.0.0-beta01 is released. Version 1.0.0-beta01 contains these commits.

API Changes

ColorScheme and its utility functions are now stable. (If34fa)
LocalContentColor is now stable (I60ee2)
Typography API is now stable (I088d6)
Shapes APIs are now stable (I0f5f4)
Border API is now stable (I69281)
Glow API is now stable (Iea5f1)
Icon component is now stable (I62c2d)
LocalTextStyles API is now stable (Iaded8)
MaterialTheme API is now stable (I2f541)
Text Component is now stable (Ib9e31)
RadioButton component is now stable (Ia03c8)
Switch component is now stable (I6cea3)
Checkbox components are now stable (I7eafc)
Surface components are now stable (I58758, I04aca)
Renamed NonInteractiveSurfaceDefaults to SurfaceDefaults and NonInteractiveSurfaceColors to SurfaceColors (I0812e)
Selectable Surface now uses “select” terminology instead of “check” because they both have different semantics meaning (I5a206)
NavigationDrawer and NavigationDrawerScope are now stable (I249c1)
NavigationDrawerItem component is now stable (Id6986)
Tab and TabRow components are now stable (I92d92)
Button, OutlinedButton, IconButton, OutlinedIconButton and WideButton components are now stable (Ib4de8)
Card, ClassicCard, CompactCard, WideClassicCard, StandardCardContainer & WideCardContainer components are now stable (I34390)
Renamed StandardCardLayout to StandardCardContainer and WideCardLayout to WideCardContainer (I08883)
Removed CardContainerDefaults.ImageCard and renamed CardDefaults.ContainerGradient to CardDefaults.ScrimBrush (I6adfe)
ListItem and DenseListItem are now stable (Idebd9)
ListItemDefaults.ListItemShape, ListItemDefaults.FocusedDisabledBorder & ListItemDefaults.SelectedContainerColorOpacity are now private (I5d533)
Rearranged the ListItem’s parameters & renamed ListItemDefaults.ListItemElevation to ListItemDefaults.TonalElevation (Id6841)
LocalAbsoluteTonalElevation is now internal (Ibfc65)
The ImmersiveList component has been removed. Check out this sample to learn how to build it yourself. (Id48da)
tv-material components exposing a MutableInteractionSource in their API have been updated to now expose a nullable MutableInteractionSource that defaults to null. There are no semantic changes here: passing null means that you do not wish to hoist the MutableInteractionSource, and it will be created inside the component if needed. Changing to null allows for some components to never allocate a MutableInteractionSource, and allows for other components to only lazily create an instance when they need to, which improves performance across these components. If you are not using the MutableInteractionSource you pass to these components, it is recommended that you pass null instead. It is also recommended that you make similar changes in your own components. (I309b4, b/298048146)
TV Text component's TextAlign parameter is now non-null (Ib73b1, b/299490814)
Introduced a special Unspecified value for TextAlign, TextDirection, Hyphens and LineBreak fields of the ParagraphTextStyle to replace (I4197e, b/299490814)

May 1, 2024

androidx.wear.compose:compose-*:1.4.0-alpha08 is released. Version 1.4.0-alpha08 contains these commits.

API Changes

We have made the following changes to the new rotary API: renamed Modifier.rotary to Modifier.rotaryScrollable; renamed the RotaryBehavior interface to RotaryScrollableBehavior and its function handleScrollEvent to performScroll; renamed RotaryScrollableAdapter to RotaryScrollableLayoutInfoProvider and removed the scrollableState property. (I0c8a6)
We have made additional changes to the rotary API: renamed RotaryScrollableLayoutInfoProvider to RotarySnapLayoutInfoProvider (because this provider is only needed for rotary with snap); changed the type of the snapOffset parameter in RotaryScrollableDefaults.snapBehavior snapOffset from Int to Dp. (Iddebe)
We have renamed the clickInteractionSource parameter on SplitSelectableChip to containerInteractionSource. (Ia8f84)
We have updated the click callback parameter names for SplitSelectableChip - from onClick to onSelectionClick and from onBodyClick to onContainerClick. (I32237)

Bug Fixes

We have updated the horizontal padding for PositionIndicator to 2dp (was 5dp), in order to fix a bug where the PositionIndicator (scroll bar) overlaps scrollable content. Please note that this change is expected to break existing screenshots that include the PositionIndicator due to the change of padding. (I57472)
We have improved the documentation for the new rotary API by describing the differences between low-res and hi-res rotary devices. (I63abe)
We have addressed an out-of-range exception in SwipeDismissableNavHost that could be triggered when interpolated alpha values were less than zero. (Ib75a1, b/335782510)

Remove counting logic from the NO_OP_QUOTA_MANAGER. (Ib50b8)
We have added a lint rule to report a warning when PrimaryLayout is used without setResponsiveContentInsetEnabled and provide a quick fix. (I12025)
