Benchmark: v1.3.0-beta01

June 12, 2024

androidx.benchmark:benchmark-*:1.3.0-beta01 is released. Version 1.3.0-beta01 contains these commits.

API Changes

• Renamed MethodTracing.affectsMeasurementOnThisDevice to AFFECTS_MEASUREMENT_ON_THIS_DEVICE for consistency. (I1bdfa)
• Added experimental BlackHole.consume() api to prevent dead code elimination in microbenchmarks. (If6812, b/286091643)
• Microbenchmark will now correctly throw to prevent method tracing from interfering with measurements. This occurs on certain devices when method tracing is forced on (via instrumentation args or MicrobenchmarkConfig), and if a measurement is attempted after a method trace. Affected devices are running API 26-30 or certain ART mainline module versions affected by this interference, and can be detected at runtime via ProfilerConfig.MethodTracing.affectsMeasurementOnThisDevice. (Iafb92, b/303660864)

Bug Fixes

• Bumped max agp version recommended to 9.0.0-alpha01. (I5bbb0)
• Added compilation mode to benchmark context (If5612, b/325512900)
• Enable AIDL tracing by default (requires API 28) (Ia0af2, b/341852305)
• Added additional information in benchmark context in JSON output:
  • context.artMainlineVersion - integer version of Art mainline module (if present on device, -1 otherwise)
  • context.build.id - Equals android.os.Build.ID
  • context.build.version.codename - Equals android.os.Build.VERSION.CODENAME
  • context.build.version.abbreviatedCodename - corresponds to first letter of pre-release codename (even on release builds) (Ie5020)
• Fixes StackSampling to respect androidx.benchmark.profiling.sampleDurationSeconds (Ib1d53)
• Change macro->common dependency to be api(), so it's easier to use e.g. PerfettoTrace and PerfettoConfig. (Icdae3, b/341851833)
• Ensure mergeArtProfile and mergeStartupProfile tasks always wait for baseline profile generation. (I623d6, b/343086054)
• Consider variant enable state when deciding whether variant should be enabled. (I5d19e, b/343249144)
• Increased default start timeout for perfetto trace processor. (I87e8c, b/329145808)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the issue that apps can't take pictures successfully on Samsung Tab A8 when ImageCapture selects 1920x1080 under Preview + VideoCapture + ImageCapture UseCase combination. (I5a463, b/336925549)
• Fixed persistent recording may fail to continue recording after switching camera. (Icb0a1)
