API Changes

• Added new APIs for dynamic camera add/removal detection. See the CameraPresenceListener API for more details. (I41ead, b/427182232, b/419441394)

Bug Fixes

• The feature group API now provides consistent results when PREVIEW_STABILIZATION is used with VideoCapture. This corrects a bug that caused inconsistent results when a Preview use case was not also active. (Ifed82, b/449913903)
• Fixed an issue where unsupported preferred features were incorrectly made available. Features are now correctly filtered when their required use cases are not met. (I38db8, b/449532342)
• Fixed glitchy video result on Samsung Galaxy S6. (I612d9, b/235127608)
• Fixed an issue where CameraInfo#isFeatureGroupSupported could incorrectly return true for PREVIEW_STABILIZATION if the SessionConfig in the query was already configured with other features. (I2c355c, b/437816469)

Camera: v1.5.1

October 08, 2025

androidx.camera:camera-*:1.5.1 is released. Version 1.5.1 contains these commits.

Bug Fixes

• Support CameraEffect in concurrent camera composition mode. The effect will be applied on the composition output. Please note that mirrorMode in VideoCapture will be ignored when effect is set in concurrent camera composition mode. (If3d00, b/425565129)
• Fixed the issue where mirrorMode is not applied correctly to the secondary camera in concurrent camera composition mode. (I686cd, b/446430827)
• Support binding Preview, ImageCapture and VideoCapture together in concurrent camera non-composition mode. (Ib410a, b/443009871)
• Fixed an issue where UseCases such as ImageCapture and VideoCapture would lose their target rotation information if they were recreated. This could cause images or videos to have an incorrect orientation if a setting like imageCaptureMode was changed after the device had been rotated. (I477c8, b/444734537)
• Fixed an issue that prevented Preview from selecting 16:9 resolutions and VideoCapture from recording at QUALITY_1080P. This problem occurred when using a default Preview resolution configuration while the internal StreamSharing feature was active (e.g., when four UseCases are bound simultaneously). (I493cb, b/440364875)
• Fixed the crash when effect is being activated after SurfaceProcessor is shut down (I2c450, b/414150174)
• Fixed a bug in CameraController that caused an IllegalStateException when an initial UseCase selected the maximum resolution, which subsequently prevented other UseCases from being bound. (Ifb758, b/440374234)
• Excludes problematic YUV_420_888 output sizes for Nokia 7 Plus that will cause the silent fail problem without any error messages reported. (I3af47, b/436524501)
• Fixed an issue where CameraInfo#isFeatureGroupSupported could incorrectly return true for the PREVIEW_STABILIZATION feature. This could sometimes occur when querying with a SessionConfig that was already configured with other features. (I2c355, b/437816469)
• Improved CameraXViewfinder stability on older API levels and devices with SurfaceView issues by defaulting to TextureView in such scenarios. This fallback mechanism is the new default but can be programmatically overridden. (Ieb476, b/437496463)
• Fixed a memory leak in PreviewView where it could prevent its Activity from being garbage collected. This happens if a new SurfaceRequest arrives before the previous one is handled. (I4aa0b,b/443112512)
• Fixed high-speed/slow-motion recording failed on Huawei P smart, Infinix Hot 40i and Realme C53. (40a668e, b/442984200)

Camera: v1.5.0

September 10, 2025

androidx.camera:camera-*:1.5.0 is released. Version 1.5.0 contains these commits.

Important changes since 1.4.0:

• High-speed and Slow-motion Recording: Easily integrate high-speed (120/240 fps) and slow-motion video recording with minimal code. Refer to Recorder#getHighSpeedVideoCapabilities(CameraInfo) and HighSpeedVideoSessionConfig for details.
• SessionConfig and FeatureGroup API: The new SessionConfig API allows you to configure the camera session and enable multiple features together safely, including HLG (HDR), UltraHDR, 60 FPS, and Preview stabilization. You can also set a preferable feature group with priority, letting CameraX determine the optimal supported combination. See SessionConfig.Builder#setPreferredFeatureGroup, SessionConfig.Builder#setRequiredFeatureGroup, and CameraInfo#isFeatureGroupSupported(SessionConfig) for more information.
• Deterministic Frame Rate API: Address previous limitations with setTargetFrameRate by using CameraInfo.getSupportedFrameRateRanges(sessionConfig) to query and SessionConfig.setExpectedFrameRateRange to set precise and supported frame rates.
• Camera Extensions: UltraHDR format is now supported with Extensions. Check ImageCapture.getImageCaptureCapabilities(cameraInfo).getSupportedOutputFormats() and enable it in ImageCapture.Builder.setOutputFormat. Zoom ratio and preview stabilization capabilities are now reflected when Extensions are enabled.
• Torch Strength: Adjust torch strength using CameraControl.setTorchStrengthLevel.
• Low Light Boost Mode: You can enable the low light boost mode(CONTROL_AE_MODE_ON_LOW_LIGHT_BOOST_BRIGHTNESS_PRIORITY) by the following APIs: Refer to CameraInfo#isLowLightBoostSupported, CameraInfo#getLowLightBoostState, and CameraControl#enableLowLightBoostAsync.
• Video Capture: VideoRecordEvent.Finalize.ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE is now triggered for insufficient storage during recording. PendingRecording.withAudioEnabled(boolean initialMuted) allows controlling the initial mute state for audio recording.
• Image Capture: Support for DNG (RAW) and JPEG + DNG (RAW) formats in ImageCapture. Check ImageCaptureCapabilities(CameraInfo).getSupportedOutputFormats() for RAW support. Use overloaded takePicture APIs with multiple OutputFileOptions for RAW+DNG capture.
• Image Analysis: Support for NV21 format in ImageAnalysis. Enable it with ImageAnalysis.Builder.setOutputImageFormat(OUTPUT_IMAGE_FORMAT_NV21).

camera viewfinder: v1.5.0

September 10, 2025

androidx.camera.viewfinder:viewfinder-compose:1.5.0, androidx.camera.viewfinder:viewfinder-core:1.5.0, and androidx.camera.viewfinder:viewfinder-view:1.5.0 are released. Version 1.5.0 contains these commits.

Important changes since 1.4.0:

This is the first stable release of the Camera Viewfinder library, providing robust, lifecycle-aware, and easy-to-use View and Compose-based APIs. These components are designed to serve as a camera viewfinder and can be integrated directly with Camera2.

This release also establishes the foundation for the new androidx.camera:camera-compose artifact, which introduces CameraXViewfinder, a Compose-idiomatic viewfinder that integrates seamlessly with CameraX SurfaceRequests, similar to how PreviewView works for View-based layouts. Some of the most important changes include:

• Artifact Relocation: To improve modularity, the Viewfinder artifacts have been moved to their own library group. Developers previously using androidx.camera:camera-viewfinder* dependencies should migrate to androidx.camera.viewfinder:viewfinder-*.
• API Stabilization and Refinements: The API surface has been polished for this stable release. This includes renaming CameraViewfinder to ViewfinderView to better reflect its versatility, reorganizing packages for clarity, and making ViewfinderSurfaceRequest an immutable data type for more predictable state management.
• Compose API Updates: The Compose Viewfinder API now supports ContentScale and Alignment for fine-grained control over how the camera stream is displayed within its container, mirroring the behavior of the standard androidx.compose.foundation.Image composable.
• Surface Lifecycle Management: ViewfinderSurfaceSession is now kept alive across co...

Collection: v1.6.0-alpha01

August 27, 2025

androidx.collection:collection-*:1.6.0-alpha01 is released. Version 1.6.0-alpha01 contains these commits.

API Changes

• Projects released with Kotlin 2.0 require KGP 2.0.0 or newer to be consumed (Idb6b5)

Bug Fixes

• Previously SparseArrayCompat was returning null for valueAt and keyAt when passed an index that was within the allocated range, but outside the inserted range 0..size -1. As documented, this behavior was never expected and outside the valid input range and this change fixes this behavior to instead throw IndexOutOfBounds when passed an invalid index. (I68453)

External Contribution

Thanks Jake Wharton for the following contributions:

• Align joinToString behavior with platform collections by adding a separator before and the postfix after the truncation indicator when limiting included elements. (I1b7e8)
• ScatterSet.hashCode no longer defends against recursion (i.e., the set being added to itself). This brings its behavior in line with ScatterMap, HashSet, and the primitive scatter-based sets (e.g., LongSet). Note that the equals method was already susceptible to recursion and toString defends against it—both behaviors which align with the other collections. (I9c84a)
• ScatterSet.retainAll function is now inline to avoid creating a lambda instance. (Ifa4b7)
• ScatterSet.hashCode no longer uses its capacity in the hash calculation ensuring equal contents but different capacities still produce the same value. (Ic863b)
• IllegalStateException is now thrown if you call remove() before next() on an iterator of the keys, values, or entries collections of ScatterMap.asMap() or ScatterSet.asSet(). This brings its behavior into alignment with the regular map and set behavior. (I71694)
