New Features

With the update to 1.4.0-alpha08, the CameraX Viewfinder artifact has been moved to its own library group. This change is necessary to improve the modularity and maintainability of the CameraX library.

If you were previously depending on androidx.camera:camera-viewfinder, androidx.camera:camera-viewfinder-compose or androidx.camera:camera-viewfinder-core, you will need to transition your dependencies to the following:

• androidx.camera:camera-viewfinder -> androidx.camera.viewfinder:viewfinder-view
• androidx.camera:camera-viewfinder-compose -> androidx.camera.viewfinder:viewfinder-compose
• androidx.camera:camera-viewfinder-core -> androidx.camera.viewfinder:viewfinder-core

No code changes should be needed to make this transition. The old Viewfinder maven coordinates will no longer receive updates.

Additionally, if you are using Compose with CameraX, a new Compose-first library is now available in alpha: androidx.camera:camera-compose. This provides the CameraXViewfinder composable, which is a compose-idiomatic Viewfinder that adapts CameraX’s SurfaceRequest to Compose, similar to how PreviewView works for views.
