Core-telecom: v1.0.0-beta01

December 11, 2024

androidx.core:core-telecom:1.0.0-beta01 is released. Version 1.0.0-beta01 contains these commits.

New Features

Beta release for the following new features:

  • Fetching available audio endpoints before a call is added. App developers can now display all the available endpoints before initiating a call which allows users to seamlessly select their preferred audio endpoint and optimize their setup. This eliminates the need for in-call adjustments at the start of the call, providing a smoother experience.
  • Experimental API support for VOIP application call extensions. Call extensions allow an application to provide more details about an ongoing call, such as the list of participants in a group call or meeting. Supported remote surfaces such as Android Auto can then show this information to the user and allow them to interact with the supported extensions. The new experimental extensions added in this release are:
    • Support for showing the participants in a group call or meeting and describing which participant is active. Support for the following optional actions on participants:
      • Raising and lowering the hands of participants.
      • Kicking participants.
    • Support for call silence, which allows remote surfaces to silence a VOIP call without also globally muting the mic.

API Changes

  • Rename addLocalSilenceExtension to addLocalCallsilenceExtension (If4a9c)
  • Change preferredStartingCallEndpointfrom var to val. (Iab6b7)
  • Add local call silence APIs (I29dd0)
  • Implement the compareTo function for the CallEndpointCompat class (Ia06b7)
  • Adds experimental app actions API. (Ifb796)
  • Add new CallsManager API getAvailableStartingCallEndpoints (Ia8bcf)
  • Update ExperimentalAppActions annotation to ensure that it is accurately tracking all usages of the experimental feature. (Id5ea5)

Bug Fixes

  • Add global mute state receiver for Android API level 28 through 33. (I75e66)
  • Fixes an issue where only the latest connected InCallService would be able to send action events (I39599)
  • Implements ICS Extensions API for voip app actions. (I1274c)
  • Rejecting a call before API level 34 will now correctly destroy the call in Telecom. (I635b7)
  • addCall now properly throws Exceptions through the API instead of the parent coroutine (I83334)
  • Add a placeholder value to extras bundle (Iebf7f)
  • Removed manual outlining of access to new platform APIs since this happens automatically via API modeling when using R8 with AGP 7.3 or later (e.g. R8 version 3.3) and for all builds when using AGP 8.1 or later (e.g. D8 version 8.1). Clients who are not using AGP are advised to update to D8 version 8.1 or later. See this article for more details. (Ieb9ae, b/345472586)
  • Adds experimental support for extensions to CallsManager#addCall. (I24d92)
  • Core-Telecom will now throw a CallException if the platform failed to add the call due to an exception, reaching max call count, etc. (I41f27)

Core-Viewtree: v1.0.0-alpha01

December 11, 2024

androidx.core:core-viewtree:1.0.0-alpha01 is released. Version 1.0.0-alpha01 contains these commits.

New Features

  • Initial release of core-viewtree, transitively exposed by androidx core.

  • This initial release introduces the concept of a View being able to have a disjoint parent. A disjoint parent of a view is a separate View object that acts as the view’s parent, but is not set via the View.parent property. Examples of Views with disjoint parents are ViewOverlays, popups, and dialogs, which all appear outside of the main view hierarchy. A View can only have a disjoint parent if it does not have a direct parent via the platform’s View.parent property. Currently, androidx only sets the disjoint parent for ViewOverlays created by transition. You can also specify your own disjoint parents for views. See the documentation for more information.

API Changes

  • Adds ViewParent.getParentOrViewTreeDisjointParent() and ViewParent.setViewTreeDisjointParent(View, ViewParent?) methods (Ib2950)

Core Ultra Wideband (UWB): v1.0.0-alpha10

December 11, 2024

androidx.core.uwb:uwb:1.0.0-alpha10 and androidx.core.uwb:uwb-rxjava3:1.0.0-alpha10 are released. Version 1.0.0-alpha10 contains these commits.

API Changes

  • Adds reason code STATE_CHANGE_REASON_UNKNOWN, STATE_CHANGE_REASON_SYSTEM_POLICY and STATE_CHANGE_REASON_COUNTRY_CODE_ERROR for UWB state change. (I43e36)
  • Add new API RangingResult#RangingResultInitialized to send event when a ranging session is initialized. (I386bb)
  • Add new APIs subscribeToUwbAvailability(observer: UwbAvailabilityCallback) and unsubscribeFromUwbAvailability() to listener to the UWB state change event. Add new interface UwbAvailabilityCallback for user to define callback function when a UWB state change event is observed. (I37191).

Graphics: v1.1.0-alpha01

December 11, 2024

androidx.graphics:graphics-*:1.1.0-alpha01 is released. Version 1.1.0-alpha01 contains these commits.

New Features

  • Reworked the main demo into a generic Shape Editor. This allows you to import shapes from a svg path, manually edit the detected features in case of misses in the automatic process, and export the result into code that can be used in production code. (I1ac13)
  • Replace angle measurements for shape outline progress with curve length measurements, this allows more complex shapes to be used for morphing. (I75478) , I390dd
  • Improved the feature mapping algorithm, so more morphs should look more natural. (I83287)

API Changes

  • Add SVG path import and feature serializer. The usual flow is:
    • Use the new SvgPathParser.parseFeatures() to convert a svg path (the value of the d attribute on the path element of a svg) into a List<Feature>.
    • That can be modified, then serialized into a string with FeatureSerializer.serialize().
    • The resulted string can be used in production code, importing it with FeatureSerializer.parse()
    • Note that the steps 1 & 2 are done once, and can be done with the new app. Production code should only need to do step 3. (I9bd00, b/371196190), (Ic3842), (If68ed), (I10251)
  • Expose polygon features and feature types. More generic RoundedPolygons can now be created with the base constructor that takes a List<Features>. Features are mainly a list of Cubic bezier curves, but they are tagged to help the Morph algorithm match between the start and end shapes (convex corners are mapped to convex corners and concave corners are mapped to concave corners). (I61e76), (I1fc5c)
  • Adds support for watchosDeviceArm64 KMP target and target kotlin 1.9. (Icf15d, b/364652024)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed edge case when the last feature was empty. (I390dd)
  • Make RoundedPolygon creation more robust. (Ib862c, b/360888486)
  • Fix a bug on RoundedPolygon initialization. (I83ddb)
  • Fix an error in the algorithm to estimate the center of the polygon. (Ida147)

New Features

  • Now includes proguard rules to avoid necessary classes from being stripped out. (65d0c3f)

Bug Fixes

  • This library now uses JSpecify nullness annotations, which are type-use. Kotlin developers should use the following compiler arguments to enforce correct usage: -Xjspecify-annotations=strict, -Xtype-enhancement-improvements-strict-mode (Iaf73a, b/326456246)

ink: v1.0.0-alpha02

  • LifecycleOwner and ViewModelStoreOwner instances retrieved via their respective findViewTree APIs can now be resolved through disjoint parents of a view, such as a ViewOverlay. See the release notes of core or the documentation in ViewTree.setViewTreeDisjointParent for more information on disjoint view parents. (I800f4)

API Changes

  • Make the namings and package organization more consistent with SavedStateRegistryOwnerDelegate (I8c135, b/376026744)

Bug Fixes

  • This library now uses JSpecify nullness annotations, which are type-use. Kotlin developers should use the following compiler arguments to enforce correct usage: -Xjspecify-annotations=strict, -Xtype-enhancement-improvements-strict-mode (Ie4340, b/326456246)
  • Document ViewModel.onCleared clearing sequence. (I586c7, b/363984116)

lint: v1.0.0-alpha03

December 11, 2024

androidx.lint:lint-gradle:1.0.0-alpha03 is released. Version 1.0.0-alpha03 contains these commits.

New Features

  • Catch calls to Provider<>.toString as it is nearly always a bug to do that.
  • Catch calls of Kotlin collection extension functions on TaskContainer as these cause eager Task creation.
  • Catch calls to ConfigurableFileCollection.from passing in a Configuration as that causes eager resolution of the configuration suggesting to use project.files(configuration) or configuration.incoming.artifactView {}.files.
  • Catch usages of Property<File> suggesting to use RegularFileProperty or DirectoryProperty as it is enforcing the use directory vs file.

Mediarouter: v1.8.0-alpha01

Bug Fixes

  • Mitigate issue causing playback to be incorrectly routed to the built-in speakers while a Bluetooth device is connected.
  • Removed manual outlining of access to new platform APIs since this happens automatically via API modeling when using R8 with AGP 7.3 or later (e.g. R8 version 3.3) and for all builds when using AGP 8.1 or later (e.g. D8 version 8.1). Clients who are not using AGP are advised to update to D8 version 8.1 or later. See this article for more details. (If6b4c, b/345472586)

  • Invalid month/day options are now visible in the DatePicker, with a new invalidPickerContentColor, when using minDate or maxDate. (If4541)
  • We have updated the Stepper API to provide increaseIcon and decreaseIcon slots - the content for these can be built as usual from the Icon composable. (Id35da)
  • We have updated dynamicColorScheme by removing the optional defaultColorScheme parameter and now returning nullable ColorScheme. This means that the caller must explicitly handle the fallback case when a dynamic color scheme is not provided. (I6d62e)
  • We have updated the icon sizes in ButtonDefaults for use with CompactButton. A CompactButton containing only an icon should use ButtonDefaults.SmallIconSize = 24.dp, whereas a CompactButton containing both icon and text should use ButtonDefaults.ExtraSmallIconSize = 20.dp. It is recommended that CompactButton wrap its content (rather than filling the max width) and samples have been updated to show that. (I0582c)
  • We have added EdgeButtonDefaults with recommended icon sizes for the 4 different EdgeButtonSizes. Also, updated the EdgeButton layout so that it has slightly larger bottom padding than top padding, which improves appearance for both Icon and Text content. (Id772a)
  • We have added motion to LinearProgressIndicator and exposed LinearProgressIndicatorContent which provides the visual content without animations. (Idee99)
  • We have added a new CircularProgressIndicatorContent composable to display the visual content of CircularProgressIndicator without animations. (Ie33d4)
  • TransformingLazyColumn newly provides the composition local LocalTransformingLazyColumnItemScope which Cards, Buttons and ListHeaders now use to automatically morph when placed inside a TransformingLazyColumn. Callers can disable automatic morphing using the new TransformExclusion wrapper. (I1652f)
  • We have updated the type of ButtonDefaults.shape to RoundedCornerShape (Iccdf2)

Bug Fixes

  • We have fixed a bug to respect existing alpha on background for TimeText (I1eb60)
  • We have set TextMotion to Animated by default in our typography, to avoid text jitter due to snapping letter glyphs to pixel boundaries during scaling operations. (I626fa)
  • We have updated the appearance of the ScrollIndicator by increasing width and gap size, to improve visibility. (Ied7cb)
  • We have fixed a bug on Modifier.scrollTransform when adding/removing/moving items. (I6830f)
  • We have fixed a round button animation issue for short taps (previously, the minimum animation duration was not always observed). (I757a7)
  • We have updated the sweep angle for LevelIndicator to 20% (i.e. 72 degrees). (Idde5c)
  • We have fixed ScrollIndicator positioning when ScalingLazyColumn was used with AutoCenteringParams. (I387dd)
  • We have updated the colors and typography for ListHeader and ListSubHeader. Also the colors for the toggle controls on CheckboxButton and SwitchButton. (I39817)
  • We have fixed ScrollIndicator positioning in LazyColumn and ScalingLazyColumn with ContentPadding. (I2bc51)
  • We have fixed a bug seen in OpenOnPhoneDialog progress animation by using the new CircularProgressIndicatorContent. (I3e443)
  • We have updated the HorizontalPagerScaffold and VerticalPagerScaffold to disable animations when reduce motion is enabled (Iaaf68)
  • We have implemented a separate animation for circular progress indicators when progress reaches over 100%. (I47135)
  • We have fixed a bug where EdgeButton could be drawn with an incorrect shape in Pager components (I91db9)
