• Fixed QualitySelector fails to record a UHD video when a fallback strategy is enabled.

Benchmark: v1.1.0-rc02

May 11, 2022

androidx.benchmark:benchmark-*:1.1.0-rc02 is released. Version 1.1.0-rc02 contains these commits.

• Note that this release includes a behavior change, as apps are now fully reinstalled in between each benchmark to ensure accurate measurements.

Bug Fixes/Behavior Changes

• Fixed an issue where app compilation was not correctly reset between macrobenchmarks, and not reset at all on unrooted builds. This fixes many cases where running multiple tests would result in CompilationMode having little to no effect on measurements. To workaround this problem, the target app is now fully reinstalling each test method, which will clear application data between each macrobenchmark. (I31c74, b/230665435)

• As this prevents apps from setting up state before tests, it is now possible to skip compilation / reinstallation to enable working around this. You can for example fully compile the target with a shell command cmd package compile -f -m speed <package>, and then bypass macrobenchmark's compilation step.

  E.g. in Your macrobenchmark's build.gradle:

  android {
      defaultConfig {
          testInstrumentationRunnerArgument 'androidx.benchmark.compilation.enable, 'false'
      }
  }
  

  Or from the Gradle command line:

  ./gradlew macrobenchmark:cC -P android.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.androidx.benchmark.compilation.enable=false
  

• Made it possible to share a module between macrobenchmarks and baseline profile generating tests by adding androidx.benchmark.enabledRules instrumentation argument. Pass in 'Macrobenchmark', or 'BaselineProfile' to just run one type of test, e.g. when generating BaselineProfiles on an emulator. (I756b7, b/230371561)

  E.g. in Your macrobenchmark's build.gradle:

  android {
      defaultConfig {
          testInstrumentationRunnerArgument 'androidx.benchmark.enabledRules', 'BaselineProfile'
      }
  }
  

  Or from the Gradle command line:

  ./gradlew macrobenchmark:cC -P android.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.androidx.benchmark.enabledRules=BaselineProfile

API Changes

• Display all available weights for systems fonts on Android when using FontFamily.SansSerif. This will use fallback font names like sans-serif-medium internally on API 21-28.

• Paragraph and MultiParagraph are now accepting Constraints parameter. Passing Constraints.maxHeight is a no-op at the moment but will allow to do some calculation in the future, like ellipsizing based on the height. (I6afee, b/168720622)
• SubcomposeSlotReusePolicy.getSlotsToRetain() now accepts a custom MutableSet-like class which doesn't allow adding new items in it. (Icd314)
• Partial consumption (down OR position) has been deprecated in PointerInputChange. You can use consume() to consume the change completely. You can use isConsumed to determine whether or not someone else has previously consumed the change.
• PointerInputChange::copy() now always makes a deep copy. It means that copies of PointerInputChange will be consumed once one of the copies is consumed. If you want to create an unbound PointerInputChange, use constructor instead. (Ie6be4, b/225669674)
• New experimental LazyLayout API is introduced. This allows you to build your own components like LazyColumn of LazyVerticalGrid. Note that the API is in its early stages and can be changed in the future releases. (Iba2bc, b/166591700)
• AndroidFont now takes typefaceLoader as a constructor parameter. (I2c971)
• WindowInsets companion now exposes the visibility (whether they are on the screen, regardless of whether they intersect with the window) and the size they could be if they are available on the device, but not currently active. (I65182, b/217770337)

New Features

• material3-window-size-class is a new library that provides support for window size classes: a set of opinionated viewport breakpoints for you to design, develop, and test resizable application layouts against. You can use calculateWindowSizeClass to retrieve a window size class instance, which you can use to determine how your UI should appear, such as showing a navigation rail instead of bottom navigation for larger window sizes. For more information and sample usage see the API reference documentation for WindowSizeClass. For more information on window size class definitions, see the public guidance on supporting different screen sizes.

API Changes

• Adds default FAB elevation for BottomAppBar, removes trailing lambda from BottomAppBar with FAB. (I92c47)
• Adds Material3 FilledIconButton, FilledTonalIconButton, and OutlinedIconButton. (Ib2bda)
