Activity: v1.12.0-alpha05

July 30, 2025

Benchmark: v1.4.0

July 30, 2025

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

Important changes since 1.3.0

Microbenchmark

• Moved Gradle tasks lockClocks and unlockClocks to be on benchmark projects, instead of at the top level to respect Gradle project isolation.
• Refactored BenchmarkRule to be built on top of coroutines, and support better yield() behavior. This should significantly reduce the risk of ANRs during benchmark runs, especially long CI runs. Note: UI Benchmarks should run with measureRepeatedOnMainThread

Macrobenchmark

• Added workaround on API 34+ for CompilationMode.None() would have inconsistent performance due to ART's verify now partly compiling apps after first launch.
• Experimental feature - Startup Insights can highlight certain common issues in a startup Macrobenchmark by passing MacrobenchmarkRule(..., experimentalConfig = ExperimentalConfig(StartupInsightsConfig(isEnabled = true))).
• Added ArtMetric which can be used to detect JIT Compilation, and unoptimized class loading - both useful for validating Baseline Profile optimizations.

Baseline Profiles

• BaselineProfileRule now collects profiles for multi-process apps.

Other Changes

• TraceProcessor has been pulled out into its own library (androidx.benchmark:benchmark-traceprocessor) so that it can be used outside of Macrobenchmark metrics, in other cases. It can also be run on Desktop JVM by defining your own ServerLifecycleManager.

Media3: v1.8.0-rc02

July 24, 2025

Version 1.8.0-rc02 contains these commits.

• ExoPlayer:
  • Add getter for shuffle mode to the ExoPlayer interface (#2522).
  • More clearly throw an exception if DefaultAudioSink is accessed from multiple threads. If this happens due to a call to RendererCapabilities.getFormatSupport outside of the player, make sure to call this method on the same thread as ExoPlayer's playback thread or use a different instance than the one used for playback (#1191).
• Audio:
  • Fix bug where AnalyticsListener.onAudioPositionAdvancing is not called when the audio playback is started very close to the end of the media.
• Session:
  • Fix bug where connections from third-party non-privileged Media3 controllers are ignored.
  • Remove check for available commands when sending custom commands to a legacy MediaBrowserServiceCompat. This is in parity with the behavior of legacy controllers/browsers when connected to a legacy app.
  • Fix a bug that causes a player's first playback error to be incorrectly treated as a persistent custom exception. This prevents the application from recovering.
• HLS extension:
  • Fix bug where HlsSampleStreamWrapper attempts to seek inside buffer when there are no chunks available in the buffer #2598.

Camera: v1.5.0-beta02

July 16, 2025

androidx.camera:camera-*:1.5.0-beta02 is released. Version 1.5.0-beta02 contains these commits.

API Changes

• Added new APIs to set or query groups of high-quality features more intuitively and accurately as these features may not be supported as a combination across all devices. SessionConfig now contains new APIs to denote a group of features as either required or preferred. The CameraInfo.isFeatureGroupSupported API allows to know if a feature group is supported before binding a SessionConfig. SessionConfig also allows setting a listener to know which features are finally selected when a session config is bound. (Ie4d60)
• Added new API SessoinConfig.Builder.setFrameRateRange(Range<Integer>) and CameraInfo.getSupportedFrameRateRanges(SessionConfig), enabling developers to query guaranteed supported frame rates constrained by a specific SessionConfig and then apply the frame rate on SessionConfig. (Ieacf7)
• Introduced the new SessionConfig API, which includes a better abstraction for configuring use cases, session parameters, CameraEffect, ViewPort and etc. Binding a SessionConfig to a LifecycleOwner opens the camera session, configures it using the specified use cases and session parameters, and applies the designated CameraEffect and ViewPort. When updating a new SessionConfig to the same LifecycleOwner, you can just bind a new Sessionconfig without the need of invoking unbind or unbindAll first. (Iedfc3)
• Added new APIs to record high-speed/slow-motion video. See HighSpeedVideoSessionConfig API for more details. (Ia16f3)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed ImageCaptureCapabilities#getSupportedOutputFormats() API reporting RAW formats as supported in some devices which doesn't actually have RAW capability. (Ibcadb)
• Fixed the memory leak that happens when PreviewView is used, CameraEffect is enabled or binding 4 use cases(StreamSharing) (I87468)
• Fixed a video recording crash by AssertionError: Invalid internal audio state: IDLING. (I38d4b, b/414259796)
• Fixed the issue when the app runs in an external display and the device is landscape, the preview in PreviewView becomes stretched or sideway (Ia917a)
• Fixed the issue that Preview Stabilization settings are not correctly applied when the camera stream is sharing between Preview and VideoCapture.(I5430e)
• CameraXViewfinder now properly handles surface replacement in the underlying Viewfinder. This covers scenarios such as when an EXTERNAL viewfinder on API level 28 or lower moves off screen or if a CameraXViewfinder (with any ImplementationMode) is part of moveableContentOf(). In cases where the underlying ViewfinderSurfaceSession cannot be kept alive, the CameraXViewfinder will invalidate the current CameraX SurfaceRequest, allowing CameraX to use the new Surface. (I79432)
• Fixes an issue on Android 10/11 where the EXTERNAL CameraXViewfinder could appear stretched or incorrect due to transformation operations (like scale or translate) being applied too early. The system now waits for the Surface to be created before applying these transformations in the layout phase, ensuring correct output. (Icc77c)
• Composable CameraXViewfinder now works correctly with Compose's Pager. This change ensures that the Composable can be successfully reset by implementing the onReset callback of AndroidView, supporting both EMBEDDED and EXTERNAL implementations. (I0d9be)
• Fixed a lifecycle owner leak that happens when unbinding use cases from a lifecycle owner without shutting down the camera provider.

Breaking Changes

• The background and border modifier nodes now implement SemanticsModifierNode. This can result in new SemanticsNodes added to the semantics tree and, therefore, lead to test failures in tests that make assumptions about the semantics tree structure. For example, tests that use onChild, onParent, onSibling, and other similar methods to make assertions can fail if a new node is added between the current and target nodes. The preferred way to fix these failures is to add a testTag to the target node directly. Another approach is to use a looser matcher, such as onNode(hasAnyAncestor(hasText(“ancestor”)) and hasText(“target”)). (I638b5)

API Changes

• Rename Modifier.addTextContextMenuComponents to appendTextContextMenuComponents. (I4c43f)
• Removed AnnotatedOutputTransformation and carried addStyle functions to TextFieldBuffer. addStyle can still only be called from OutputTransformation. (I9930a, b/417991824)
• Clickable is rewritten to not use suspend pointer input as an optimization. This feature is enabled by a flag - you can disable if you encounter a bug in the new implementation - ComposeFoundationFlags.isNonSuspendingPointerInputInClickableEnabled. (I85b65)
• Introduced isFlingCancellationWithNestedScrollFixEnabled to fix an issue with fling propagation in nested scrolling. In this CL we are restoring the fling continuation behavior removed in aosp/3260391. We will still cancel the fling animation in case the child is removed from composition. (I467f4, b/405910180, b/419049142, b/416784125)
