Benchmark: v1.2.0-alpha08

December 7, 2022

API Changes

• Added experimental new APIs PerfettoTrace.record {} and PerfettoTraceRule to capture Perfetto traces (also known as System Traces) as part of a test, to inspect test behavior and performance. (I3ba16)
• BaselineProfileRule now accepts a filter predicate instead of a list of package prefixes. This gives the test full control on filtering. (I93240)
• Add an experimental API BaselineProfileRule.collectStableBaselineProfile which waits until a baseline profile is stable for N iterations. (I923f3)
• Add the ability to specify an output file name prefix when generating baseline profiles using BaselineProfileRule. (I7b59f, b/260318655)

Bug Fixes

• Improve safety of file output writing, which should prevent output files from silently not being written / appended, especially on API 21/22. (If8c44, b/227510293)
• Fix simpleperf trace output to create and place the file correctly. This should also more generally fix issues where a file is unsuccessfully pulled by gradle. (I12a1c, b/259424099)
• Improve profileinstaller error message printed when profileinstaller is too old. This now tells you to update profileinstaller version (1.2.1) for measuring baseline profiles on API 31 through 33, instead of saying it's not supported. (Ia517f, b/253519888)
• Fix several shell command failures onerror message Print needed API <=23, including failed perfetto capture binary setup and trace capture failures (Ib6b87, b/258863685)
• Automatically sort generated profile rules to minimize the number of changes as they change over time (when checking-in profile rules into source control). (Ie2509)

CameraX: v1.2.0

December 7, 2022

Important changes since 1.1.0

• New library camera-mlkit-vision. Easily integrate CameraX with many MLKit features, including barcode scanning, face detection, text detection, etc. Added MLKitAnalyzer as new APIs.
• New experimental Zero-Shutter Lag API. Optimizes capture pipeline to have better latency while keeping good image quality. When the capture mode is set to CAPTURE_MODE_ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG, the latency between the shutter button is clicked and the picture is taken is expected to be minimized, compared with other capture modes. On devices that don’t support ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG, it’ll fallback to CAPTURE_MODE_MINIMIZE_LATENCY.
• Deprecate android.camera.core.VideoCapture.
• Added setStreamUseCase() as a public Camera2Interop API.
• Added API level requirement for setOutputImageRotationEnabled.
• Renamed ImageAnalysis.Analyzer#getTargetResolutionOverride() to ImageAnalysis.Analyzer#getDefaultTargetResolution().

• Fixed the black preview issue that happens when BOKEH extension is enabled on some Samsung devices and the user switches the cameras.
• Fixed Samsung J7 Prime (SM-G610M) and J7 (SM-J710MN) Preview/VideoCapture stretched issue on API level 27 devices.
• Disabled the workaround to flip the AF region horizontally of front cameras on Samsung Android T since the issue was fixed

• Renamed OutputOptions.getDurationLimit to OutputOptions.getDurationLimitMillis and OutputOptions.setDurationLimit to OutputOptions.setDurationLimitMillis. (I91f0c)
• Add AudioConfig class to handle the audio related setting while recording video. The @RequiresPermission annotation is moved from startRecording functions to AudioConfig to avoid unnecessary permission requests for the cases that audio is not needed. (I28755)
• Remove Metadata, OnVideoSavedCallback, OutputFileOptions and OutputFileResults classes that are no longer used after applying the new video capture API. (I38cd8)
• Apply the new video capture API. The getVideoCaptureTargetSize and setVideoCaptureTargetSize methods are replaced with the

Compose Compiler: v1.4.0-alpha02

November 11, 2022

New Features

• Added support for Kotlin 1.7.21

2022-11-09

Benchmark: v1.1.1

November 9, 2022

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

Bug Fixes

• Fixes android.system.ErrnoException: open failed: EACCES which would occur on some Android11 (API 30)+ devices. This is a cherry-pick of a fix from 1.2.0-alpha01. (aosp/2072249)

Benchmark: v1.2.0-alpha07

November 9, 2022

androidx.benchmark:benchmark-*:1.2.0-alpha07 is released. Version 1.2.0-alpha07 contains these commits.

API Changes

• Adds PowerMetric API for measuring energy and power in Macrobenchmarks. (Ife601, b/220183779)
• Fixed MacrobenchmarkScope.dropShaderCache() to actually drop the shader cache. This removes roughly 20ms of noise from StartupMode.COLD benchmarks, as shaders are now consistently cleared each iteration. Previously, Partial compilation using warmup iterations would report incorrectly fast numbers, as shader caching was more likely to happen during warmup. This fix requires either a rooted device, or using profileinstaller:1.3.0-alpha02 in the target app. For ProfileInstaller library’s API changes, please refer to ProfileInstaller 1.30-alpha02 page. (Ia5171, b/231455742)
• Added TraceSectionMode("label", Mode.Sum), allowing measurement of total time spent on multiple trace sections with the same label. For instance, TraceSectionMetric("inflate", Mode.Sum) will report a metric inflateMs for the total time in a macrobenchmark spent on inflation. Also removed API 29 requirement, as TraceSectionMetric works together with androidx.tracing.Trace back to lower API levels, with the use of forceEnableAppTracing within the target app. (Id7b68, b/231455742)

Bug Fixes

• Improved safety of all internal shell commands by validating all output/errors. (I5984d, b/255402908, b/253094958)
• Specify device in baseline profile adb pull command, so the pull command can be simply copied if multiple devices are connected (up to one emulator) (I6ac6c, b/223359380)
• Add error if macrobenchmark test apk isn't set up as self-instrumenting. This error prevents macrobenchmarking from within the target app's process. In process, macrobench wouldn't be able to compile/kill/cold start the app, or control its own permissions (I4279b)
• Fixed an issue in measureRepeated() where StartupMode.COLD wouldn't kill the target process after setupBlock. Now setupBlock interacting with the app will not leave the app process running, and an invalid cold start measurement. (I8ebb7)

• Add video recording audio error state AudioStats.AUDIO_STATE_SOURCE_ERROR. Sent when audio source setup fails or some error occurs. (I37410)

Bug Fixes

• Add quirk to allow some problematic devices to retry capture once when encountering capture failures. (Id4795)
• Fix PreviewView SurfaceView implementation black screen issue on ViewPager2. As part of the fix, PreviewView will reuse its SurfaceView if the requested resolution is not changed. (Ib3f27)
• Support video cropping (WYSIWYG feature) when ViewPort or CameraController API is used. (Ifbba8, b/201085351)
• Fixed video captured with front camera fails to record on Huawei P40 lite. (I87c57, b/250807400)
