Benchmark: v1.3.0

August 21, 2024

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

Microbenchmark changes since 1.2.0

• Method tracing is on by default in microbenchmarks when running on most devices
  • Method tracing runs as a separate phase, after measurements
  • Method tracing on some platform and ART versions will affect later measurement phases - on these versions, method tracing is off by default and a warning is printed to Studio output
• Main thread benchmarks and ANRs
  • Added measureRepeatedOnMainThread for UI thread benchmarks (e.g. those that interact with Compose/View UIs) to avoid ANRs when running for many seconds.
  • Method traces are skipped if expected to overrun the ANR avoidance deadline. Set androidx.benchmark.profiling.skipWhenDurationRisksAnr to false to disable this behavior (not recommended for CI runs).
• Minification
  • Embedded proguard rules to improve microbenchmarking with minification enabled
  • Minification/R8 in a library module requires AGP 8.3, and can be enabled via android.buildTypes.release.androidTest.enableMinification in your build.gradle
  • Added experimental BlackHole.consume() API to prevent dead code elimination (If6812, b/286091643)
• Metrics
  • Experimental cpu event counter feature (metrics from perf_event_open, which requires root on most versions of the platform), access via InstrumentationArgument androidx.benchmark.cpuEventCounter.enable (can be set to true), and androidx.benchmark.cpuEventCounter.events can be set e.g. to (Instructions,CpuCycles). This should be supported on some userdebug emulators, but support has not been tested across

MACRObenchmark changes since 1.2.0

• Method tracing overhaul for macrobenchmarks.
  • Now method traces are scoped to the duration of the measureBlock, and can capture multiple sessions if the process starts multiple times.
  • Previously, method tracing would only work for StartupMode.COLD benchmarks, and capture nothing for measureBlocks that didn't restart the target process
  • Fixed method traces flush in macrobenchmark, so that method traces should be fully captured and valid, even on slower devices. (I6349a, b/329904950)
• Correctly dump ART profile during individual warmUp iterations when process is killed so CompilationMode.Partial(warmup=N) measurements are more accurate. (I17923)
• Drop Shader broadcast failure message
  • Added debugging suggestions to drop shader broadcast failure message
  • Add two instrumentation arguments for overriding shader dropping behavior to workaround crashes when benchmarking apps without ProfileInstaller 1.3:
    • androidx.benchmark.dropShaders.enable=true/false : can be used to skip all shader dropping (including that done in StartupMode.Cold launches), esp when benchmarking apps that don't yet use profileinstaller 1.3
    • androidx.benchmark.dropShaders.throwOnFailure=true/false : can be used to tolerate failures when trying to drop shaders, for example when benchmarking apps without profileinstaller 1.3 (I4f573)
• Added experimental MacrobenchmarkRule#measureRepeated variant which takes a custom PerfettoConfig for fully customized Perfetto trace recording. Note that incorrectly configured configs may cause built in Metric classes to fail. (Idfd3d, b/309841164, b/304038384)
• Cancel background dexopt jobs before running a Macrobenchmark to reduce interference. (I989ed)
• Macrobenchmark now waits for 1 second for the target application to flush an ART profile (previously it waited for 500 ms). (I85a50, b/316082056)
• TraceSectionMetric overhaul
  • Note: TraceSectionMetric changes below can affect outputs in CI usage, and may create discontinuities, or break parsing
  • Sum is now the default, as most usage of this metric is for repeated events, and first would discard data in these cases
  • Changed to be more customizable, with more available modes
  • Mode names are now embedded in metric output name (in Studio and JSON)
  • Now supports slices created using Trace.{begin|end}AsyncSection.
• Metrics
  • Power - Added PowerMetric.deviceSupportsHighPrecisionTracking, PowerMetric.deviceBatteryHasMinimumCharge() and PowerMetric.deviceSupportsPowerEnergy()
  • Renamed Metric.getResult to getMeasurements to match return type
  • Added log.w / exception labels to all startup detection failures. This does not change current behavior (so some errors throw, and others silently fail to detect the startup), just makes it more understandable. Generally the ones that Log.w() and fail to report startup metrics are those where non-frame events are missing, exceptions are thrown when startup is detected except for frame timing information (from UI/RT slices). (Id240f, b/329145809)
  • Added frameCount measurement to FrameTimingMetric to aid in discovery of scenarios where measurements change because the number of frames produced changed (new animations added, invalidation issues fixed). (

AppSearch: v1.1.0-alpha04

August 7, 2024

androidx.appsearch:appsearch-*:1.1.0-alpha04 is released. Version 1.1.0-alpha04 contains these commits.

New Features

• Support for new PlayServicesStorage implementation, which allows using AppSearch on older devices without incurring the significant apk size cost of LocalStorage. This storage implementation works by storing app data within the Play Services app.
• Support for new APIs on devices running Android 15.
• Support searching the database by embedding vectors, allowing for fuzzy matching. (I2b41b)
• Support parent types and polymorphism within the AppSearch schema model. (I06118)
• Support the TakenAction API which allows apps to report when results were clicked or abandoned, for quality boosting during subsequent searches. (I54091)
• Support classes with builders in the annotation processor by introducing the new @Document.BuilderProducer annotation. (Iec30a)
• Support finer-grained control over which properties of a nested document get indexed. (Iec30a)
• Support for filtering searches to certain document properties. (Ib2659)
• Support finer-grained visibility settings by allowing OR and AND of visibility settings. (I0274b)
• Support for granting visibility of data to all apps that can see the existence of the owning app (public visibility). (I992e4)
• Support for retrieving only results that have data populated in a certain property. (I7d94f)
• Support for retrieving enterprise contacts in the personal profile. (Idd587)

API Changes

• Add indexableNestedPropertiesList and inheritIndexableNestedPropertiesFromSuperclass annotation parameters to AppSearch's Document.DocumentProperty annotation to allow indexing specific nested property paths. (Iec30a)

Benchmark: v1.3.0-rc01

August 7, 2024

androidx.benchmark:benchmark-*:1.3.0-rc01 is released. Version 1.3.0-rc01 contains these commits.

Bug Fixes

• Fix androidx.benchmark.cpuEventCounter producing corrupt values for non-Instruction events (I7386a, b/286306579)
• Fix resumeTiming/runWithTimingDisabled to respect metric priority order, and significantly reduce impact of lower priority metric pause/resume on higher priority metric results. For example, if using cpu perf counters via cpuEventCounter.enable instrumentation argument, timeNs is no longer significantly reduced when pause/resume occur. (I39c2e, b/286306579, b/307445225)
• Reduced chance of stack sampling causing measureRepeatedOnMainThread from hitting main thread hard timeout by moving stack sampling conversion off main thread. (I487a8, b/342237318)
• 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. (I9496c, b/345472586)
• Added agp version check to send package name as instr arg. Previous to AGP 8.4.0 the target app package name cannot be send to the instrumentation app via instrumentation arguments. (0c72a3f)

Media3: v1.4.0

July 25, 2024

androidx.media3:media3-*:1.4.0 is released. Version 1.4.0 contains these commits.

• Common Library:
  • Forward presumed no-op seek calls to the protected BasePlayer.seekTo() and SimpleBasePlayer.handleSeek() methods instead of ignoring them. If you are implementing these methods in a custom player, you may need to handle these additional calls with mediaItemIndex == C.INDEX_UNSET.
  • Remove compile dependency on enhanced Java 8 desugaring (#1312).
  • Ensure the duration passed to MediaItem.Builder.setImageDurationMs() is ignored for a non-image MediaItem (as documented).
  • Add Format.customData to store app-provided custom information about Format instances.
• ExoPlayer:
  • Add BasePreloadManager which coordinates the preloading for multiple sources based on the priorities defined by their rankingData. Customization is possible by extending this class. Add DefaultPreloadManager which uses PreloadMediaSource to preload media samples of the sources into memory, and uses an integer rankingData that indicates the index of an item on the UI.
  • Add PlayerId to most methods of LoadControl to enable LoadControl implementations to support multiple players.
  • Remove Buffer.isDecodeOnly() and C.BUFFER_FLAG_DECODE_ONLY. There is no need to set this flag as renderers and decoders will decide to skip buffers based on timestamp. Custom Renderer implementations should check if the buffer time is at least BaseRenderer.getLastResetPositionUs() to decide whether a sample should be shown. Custom SimpleDecoder implementations can check isAtLeastOutputStartTimeUs() if needed or mark other buffers with DecoderOutputBuffer.shouldBeSkipped to skip them.
  • Allow a null value to be returned by TargetPreloadStatusControl.getTargetPreloadStatus(T) to indicate not to preload a MediaSource with the given rankingData.
  • Add remove(MediaSource) to BasePreloadManager.
  • Add reset() to BasePreloadManager to release all the holding sources while keep the preload manager instance.
  • Add ExoPlayer.setPriority() (and Builder.setPriority()) to define the priority value used in PriorityTaskManager and for MediaCodec importance from API 35.
  • Fix issue with updating the last rebuffer time which resulted in incorrect bs (buffer starvation) key in CMCD (#1124).
  • Add PreloadMediaSource.PreloadControl.onLoadedToTheEndOfSource(PreloadMediaSource) to indicate that the source has loaded to the end. This allows the DefaultPreloadManager and the custom PreloadMediaSource.PreloadControl implementations to preload the next source or take other actions.
  • Fix bug where silence skipping at the end of items can trigger a playback exception.
  • Add clear to PreloadMediaSource to discard the preloading period.
  • Add new error code PlaybackException.ERROR_CODE_DECODING_RESOURCES_RECLAIMED that is used when codec resources are reclaimed for higher priority tasks.
  • Let AdsMediaSource load preroll ads before initial content media preparation completes (#1358).
  • Fix bug where playback moved to STATE_ENDED when re-preparing a multi-period DASH live stream after the original period was already removed from the manifest.
  • Rename onTimelineRefreshed() to onSourcePrepared() and onPrepared() to onTracksSelected() in PreloadMediaSource.PreloadControl. Also rename the IntDefs in DefaultPreloadManager.Stage accordingly.
  • Add experimental support for dynamic scheduling to better align work with CPU wake-cycles and delay waking up to when renderers can progress. You can enable this using experimentalSetDynamicSchedulingEnabled() when setting up your ExoPlayer instance.
  • Add Renderer.getDurationToProgressUs(). A Renderer can implement this method to return to ExoPlayer the duration that playback must advance for the renderer to progress. If ExoPlayer is set with experimentalSetDynamicSchedulingEnabled() then ExoPlayer will call this method when calculating the time to schedule its work task.
  • Add MediaCodecAdapter#OnBufferAvailableListener to alert when input and output buffers are available for use by MediaCodecRenderer. MediaCodecRenderer will signal ExoPlayer when receiving these callbacks and if ExoPlayer is set with experimentalSetDynamicSchedulingEnabled(), then ExoPlayer will schedule its work loop as renderers can make progress.
  • Use data class for LoadControl methods instead of individual parameters.
  • Add ExoPlayer.isReleased() to check whether Exoplayer.release() has been called.
  • Add ExoPlayer.Builder.setMaxSeekToPreviousPositionMs() to configure the maximum position for which seekToPrevious() seeks to the previous item (#1425).
  • Fix some audio focus inconsistencies, e.g. not reporting full or transient focus loss while the player is paused (#1436).
  • Fix potential IndexOutOfBoundsException caused by extractors reporting additional tracks after the initial preparation step (#1476).
  • Effects in ExoPlayer.setVideoEffect() will receive the timestamps with the renderer offset removed (#1098).
  • Fix potential IllegalArgumentException when handling player error that happened while reading ahead into another playlist item (#1483).
• Transformer:
  • Add audioConversionProcess and videoConversionProcess to ExportResult indicating how the respective track in the output file was made.
  • Relax trim optimization H.264 level checks.
  • Add support for changing between SDR and HDR input media in a sequence.
  • Add support for composition-level audio effects.
  • Add support for transcoding Ultra HDR images into HDR videos.
  • Fix issue where the DefaultAudioMixer does not output the correct amount of bytes after being reset and reused.
  • Work around a decoder bug where the number of audio channels was capped at stereo when handling PCM input.
  • When selecting tracks in ExoPlayerAssetLoader, ignore audio channel count constraints as they only apply for playback.
  • Replace androidx.media3.transformer.Muxer interface with androidx.media3.muxer.Muxer and remove androidx.media3.transformer.Muxer.

credentials: v1.5.0-alpha03

July 24, 2024

androidx.credentials:credentials:1.5.0-alpha03 and androidx.credentials:credentials-play-services-auth:1.5.0-alpha03 are released. This version is developed in an internal branch.

New Features

• Introduces a new feature, the Restore Credentials. The restore credential is used to restore the user's credential from the previous device to a new Android device. By creating a RestoreCredential for the user, the credential will be automatically transferred over to the user's new device if the user selects the app to be transferred from the old device during the setup stage.

API Changes
