Lifecycle: v2.8.0

May 14, 2024

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

Important changes since 2.7.0

  • LocalLifecycleOwner has been moved from Compose UI to lifecycle-runtime-compose so that its Compose-based helper APIs can be used outside of Compose UI.
  • The lifecycle-runtime-compose artifact now contains the dropUnlessResumed and dropUnlessStarted APIs which allow you to drop click or other events that occur even after the LifecycleOwner has dropped below the given Lifecycle.State. For example, this can be used with Navigation Compose to avoid handling click events after a transition to another screen has already begun: onClick: () -> Unit = dropUnlessResumed { navController.navigate(NEW_SCREEN) }

  • ViewModel.viewModelScope is now an overridable constructor parameter, allowing you to inject your own dispatcher and SupervisorJob() or to override the default by using the backgroundScope available within runTest. (I2817c, b/264598574)

    class MyViewModel(
  // Make Dispatchers.Main the default, rather than Dispatchers.Main.immediate
  viewModelScope: CoroutineScope = Dispatchers.Main + SupervisorJob()
) : ViewModel(viewModelScope) {
  // Use viewModelScope as before, without any code changes
}

    // Allows overriding the viewModelScope in a test
    
fun Test() = runTest {
    
val viewModel = MyViewModel(backgroundScope)
    
}

  • ViewModel has been rewritten in Kotlin and now uses AutoClosable instead of Closeable. It now supports adding AutoCloseable objects with a key that allows retrieving them via getCloseable().

  • Calling LifecycleStartEffect and LifecycleResumeEffect without a key is now an error, following the same convention as the DisposableEffect API that these APIs mirror.

  • Deprecated LiveDataReactiveStreams.toPublisher(lifecycleOwner, liveData) in favor of LiveData.toPublisher(lifecycleOwner).

  • The lifecycle-livedata-core-ktx kotlin extensions have now been moved to the lifecycle-livedata-core module.

  • The NullSafeMutableLiveData has been refactored to avoid many false positives.

Lifecycle Kotlin Multiplatform Compatibility

The core Lifecycle APIs in Lifecycle, LifecycleOwner, LifecycleObserver, Lifecycle.State, Lifecycle.Event, and LifecycleRegistry are now shipped in artifacts compatible with Kotlin Multiplatform.

Artifacts impacted:

  • lifecycle-common moves most APIs to common and supports jvm and iOS in addition to Android.
  • lifecycle-runtime moves most APIs to common and supports jvm and iOS in addition to Android.
  • lifecycle-runtime-ktx is now empty, with all APIs being moved into lifecycle-runtime.
  • lifecycle-runtime-compose moves all APIs to common and ships an Android artifact, matching the multiplatform support of androidx.compose.

ViewModel Kotlin Multiplatform Compatibility

The lifecycle-viewmodel artifact and APIs like ViewModel, ViewModelStore, ViewModelStoreOwner, and ViewModelProvider are now shipped in artifacts compatible with Kotlin Multiplatform.

To accommodate this change, methods such as those on ViewModelProvider that took a java.lang.Class<T> now have an equivalent method that takes a kotlin.reflect.KClass<T>.

Binary compatibility on Android has been maintained, but there are a few notable changes when comparing the Android API surface to the common API surface:

  • Constructing a ViewModelProvider instance is now done through the ViewModelProvider.create() methods rather than directly calling its constructor.
  • ViewModelProvider.NewInstanceFactory and ViewModelProvider.AndroidViewModelFactory are only available on Android.
    • Custom Factories are recommended to extend from ViewModelProvider.Factory and use the create method that takes a CreationExtras or use the viewModelFactory Kotlin DSL.
  • Using ViewModelProvider without a custom factory on non-JVM platforms will result in an UnsupportedOperationException. On JVM platforms, compatibility is preserved by using the no-args ViewModel constructor if a custom factory is not provided.
  • viewModelScope will fallback to an EmptyCoroutineContext in platforms where Dispatchers.Main is not available (e.g., Linux).

Artifacts impacted:

  • lifecycle-viewmodel moves most APIs to common and supports jvm and iOS in addition to Android.
  • lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx is now empty, with all APIs being moved into lifecycle-viewmodel.
  • lifecycle-viewmodel-compose moves all APIs to common and ships an Android artifact, matching the multiplatform support of androidx.compose.

Behavior Changes

  • InitializerViewModelFactory (including viewModelFactory builder function) will now throw an IllegalArgumentException if a initializer with the same clazz: KClass<VM : ViewModel> has already been added. (Ic3a36)

Navigation: v2.8.0-beta01

May 14, 2024

androidx.navigation:navigation-*:2.8.0-beta01 is released. Version 2.8.0-beta01 contains these commits.

API Changes

  • SavedStateHandle.toRoute() now takes in a typeMap parameter for custom argument types. (Ie39fb, b/339026523)
  • Added a test API to navigation-testing to to create a SavedStateHandle from a Kotlin Serializable object. (Id4867, b/339080702)

Bug Fixes

  • Missing parameter docs for Navigation Kotlin DSL functions have been added. (I26a36)

Paging: v3.3.0

May 14, 2024

androidx.paging:paging-*:3.3.0 is released. Version 3.3.0 contains these commits.

Important changes since 3.2.0

  • PagingDataPresenter is now a public class. Multiplatform presenters can now be built on top of PagingDataPresenter rather than requiring internal Paging APIs or paging-runtime’s AsyncPagingDataDiffer.
  • Added new LoadStates and CombinedLoadStates helper methods in hasError and isIdle to check if LoadStates is in Error or NotLoading state, respectively. Also added a new awaitNotLoading() Kotlin extension method on Flow<CombinedLoadStates> that waits until a load has settled into either NotLoading or Error state.
  • PagingData.empty() now dispatches NotLoading states by default unless custom LoadStates are passed to its constructor. This departs from existing behavior where it doesn't dispatch LoadStates when submitted to a PagingDataAdapter or it dispatches Loading states when collected as LazyPagingItems. When collected as LazyPagingItems, it will now also display an empty list immediately upon initial composition.

Kotlin Multiplatform Compatibility

Paging now ships artifacts compatible with Kotlin Multiplatform, thanks in large part to upstreamed work from CashApp's multiplatform-paging project.

  • paging-common has moved all Paging 3 APIs to common and is now compatible with jvm and iOS in addition to Android.
  • paging-testing has moved its code to common and is now compatible with jvm and iOS in addition to Android.
  • paging-compose has moved its code to common and ships an Android artifact, matching the multiplatform support of androidx.compose.
  • paging-runtime, paging-guava, paging-rxjava2, and paging-rxjava3 will remain Android only.

New Features

  • Added support for using SandboxedSdkView inside a PoolingContainer such as a RecyclerView. When a SandboxedSdkView has a parent that is a PoolingContainer, the lifecycle of its UI sessions will be aligned with that of the PoolingContainer to ensure that the session can persist through window detachment.

API Changes

  • Deprecated Privacy Sandbox Activity APIs. These APIs can now be found in the dedicated Activity library androidx.privacysandbox.activity instead. (I68beb)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed rendering bug when displaying remote content inside pooling containers. (I804df)
  • Fixed a bug that caused rendering issues for ViewGroups in backwards compatibility mode. (I8de92)
  • When one of SandboxedSdkView's parents is a PoolingContainer, close the UI Session when the PoolingContainer indicates resources can be released, instead of on window detachment. (I2046b)

External Contribution

  • GestureDetectorCompat is now deprecated as GestureDetector is available from the minSdk. (Icc4cd)

Room: v2.7.0-alpha02

ViewPager2: v1.1.0

May 14, 2024

androidx.viewpager2:viewpager2:1.1.0 is released. Version 1.1.0 contains these commits.

Important changes since 1.0.0

  • Fixes crashes when used with RecyclerView 1.3.1-rc01 or higher.
  • ViewPager2 now correctly populates the CollectionInfo and CollectionItemInfo that RecyclerView 1.2.0-alpha02 and higher no longer populate by default.
  • Added FragmentTransactionCallback interface for listening to fragment lifecycle changes that happen inside FragmentStateAdapter.
  • Fixed FragmentStateAdapter issue with initial fragment menu visibility when adding a fragment to the FragmentManager.
  • Fixed dispatch of window insets: all pages now get the same insets. Due to how WindowInsets are dispatched on old API versions (< API 30) that can prevent insets from being available to sibling views, you must opt into this fix via WindowInsetsApplier.install(viewPager2) if you want to apply insets on < API 30 devices.

Wear Compose: v1.4.0-beta01

May 14, 2024

androidx.wear.compose:compose-*:1.4.0-beta01 is released. Version 1.4.0-beta01 contains these commits.

The 1.4-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 1.4 includes the following new functionality:

  • We have added Modifier.rotaryScrollable, a new modifier that connects rotary events with scrollable containers, allowing users to scroll via a crown or a rotating bezel on their Wear OS device. In addition, ScalingLazyColumn and Picker now support rotary input by default. Use the rotaryScrollableBehavior parameter to configure either scroll or snap behavior. For snap behavior, it is recommended to provide snap via the flingBehavior parameter as well for touch scrolling.
  • SwipeDismissableNavHost now provides an entry animation for in-app transitions.
  • PositionIndicator is now shown by default when a screen is first displayed.
  • SelectableChip and SplitSelectableChip have been added as a variation on ToggleChip - use this with RadioButton in order to provide selectable semantics instead of toggleable semantics for accessibility
  • ListHeader now supports height adjustments when contents need extra height to accommodate large font sizes.

Bug Fixes

  • We have fixed a bug where selectable chips announced double tap to toggle when already selected. (I7ed88)
