can cause the default View to be focused. - Fixed an issue where placement happened on detached nodes in
LazyList
by separating the management of subcomposition for different layout passes. - Fixed a problem where the Software Keyboard flickers when focus switches from a
TextField
to anEditText
or any other View based editor. - Nested Scroll nodes will now dispatch
onPostFling
events correctly after they get detached. - General performance improvements

Version 1.7.0-beta03
June 12, 2024
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.7.0-beta03
is released. Version 1.7.0-beta03 contains these commits.
Version 1.7.0-beta02
May 29, 2024
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.7.0-beta02
is released. Version 1.7.0-beta02 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Renamed
SemanticsProperties.Editable
toIsEditable
and changesSemanticsPropertyReceiver.editable
to a valisEditable
. The property is now a boolean and always specified by text fields. (I8acd8) - Rename accessibility benchmark parameter. (I3d440)
- Updated API for styling the links:
TextLinkStyles
is now part of theLinkAnnotation
constructor and theAnnotatedString.fromHtml
method (I90b2b). Also removed theTextDefaults
from material (I5477b)
Bug Fixes
- Renamed
LayoutCoordinates.introducesFrameOfReference
toLayoutCoordinates.introducesMotionFrameOfReference
to better reflect its purpose. Renamed related function to calculate coordinates based on that flag. (I3a330)
Version 1.7.0-beta01
May 14, 2024
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.7.0-beta01
is released. Version 1.7.0-beta01 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Renamed
performCustomAccessibilityActionLabelled
toperformCustomAccessibilityActionWithLabel
andperformCustomAccessibilityActionWhere
toperformCustomAccessibilityActionWithLabelMatching
. (I5387f) AnnotatedString.hasEqualsAnnotations
is nowhasEqualAnnotations
(I685c0)- Updated the API for getting Material themed links in text. Specifically, removed the methods from the
TextDefaults
for constructing themedLinkAnnotations
and parse HTML with themed links. Instead, added aTextLinkStyles
class that allows to style the links as a parameter to the Text composable. (I31b93)
Bug Fixes
- Fixes additional use cases when dynamically adding pointer input modifiers during events 63e1504
Version 1.7.0-alpha08
May 1, 2024
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.7.0-alpha08
is released. Version 1.7.0-alpha08 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Adds support for mutable shape implementations.
Shape#createOutline
is now observed inside graphics layers, so reading state values inside will cause invalidations when the state changes, allowing for more performant shape animations. (Id1629, b/326070216) - Renamed
isPositionedByParentWithDirectManipulation
tointroducesFrameOfReference
. Note that it now has the reverse effect, meaning that by default, mostLayoutCoordinates
introduce a frame of reference, and, only when placed under direct manipulation the property will be false. To query position with only those that introduce a frame of reference, usepositionInLocalFrameOfReference(...)
. OrpositionInLocalLookaheadFrameOfReference
from aLookaheadScope
. (Ifc5f7) LookaheadScope
APIs have been made stable (I21507)- Change action lambda for
getScrollViewportLength
as per API council feedback. (Ibc74a) - Updated
GraphicsLayer
outline APIs to consume float parameters instead of int. RemovedUnsetOffset/UnsetSize IntSize
sentinel values in favor of already existing Unspecified constants on float based Offset and Size inline classes (I2fb03, b/333863462) - When injecting mouse input during tests,
MouseInjectionScope.click()
,MouseInjectionScope.doubleClick()
,MouseInjectionScope.tripleClick()
,MouseInjectionScope.longClick()
now accept abutton: MouseButton
parameter to make them more universally applicable. The default value isMouseButton.Primary
for all methods. (I31a23, b/190493367, b/261439695) - Renamed
onClicked
toonClick
insideLinkInteractionListener
. (Iaa35c) - Rename
TextInclusionStrategy.isInside
toisIncluded
. MakeParagraph/MultiParagraph#getRangeForRect()
return type non nullable. (I51f26)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed long screenshot capture for scrolling containers with
reverseScrolling=true
. (I7c59c)
External Contribution
- Added support for prefetching items in nested
LazyLists
(e.g. aLazyColumn
that renders nestedLazyRows
). This change is expected to reduce frame drops during scrolling for theseLazyLists
. The implementation default is to prefetch the first 2 nested items, however this behavior can be controlled by the newLazyLayoutPrefetchStrategy(nestedPrefetchItemCount)
andLazyListPrefetchStrategy#onNestedPrefetch
APIs. (I51952)
Version 1.7.0-alpha07
April 17, 2024
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.7.0-alpha07
is released. Version 1.7.0-alpha07 contains these commits.
API Changes
ClickableText
is marked as deprecated. To add links to the text, create anAnnotatedString
with aLinkAnnotation
corresponding to your link and pass thisAnnotatedString
to the Text composable. (I34d4b, b/323346994)- Introduce
ViewConfiguration.HandwritingGestureLineMargin
for handwriting gestures. SupportJoinOrSplit
gesture forBasicTextField
(Ie6e13, b/325660505) FocusProperties.enter
andFocusProperties.exit
are no longer experimental.FocusDirection.Enter
andFocusDirection.Exit
are no longer experimental.FocusRequester.Cancel
is no longer experimental (I461a1, b/261564106)- When querying Layout coordinates, you may now use the
excludeDirectManipulationOffset
argument to exclude the offset set by parent Layouts that placed their children usingPlaceable.PlacementScope.withDirectManipulationPlacement
. Likewise, a Layout that changes the position of its children frequently may now place them usingwithDirectManipulationPlacement
(such as Scroll, implemented by default). This helpsapproachLayout
based animations to be more intuitive, having now the opportunity to differentiate what offset to animate, and what to apply directly when deciding to animate their approach. (I60ec7) - The feature flag for long screenshots has been removed. (I28648, b/329128246)
LazyColumn
will now render sticky headers correctly in long screenshots. (I8d239, b/329296635)NestedScroll
sources Drag and Fling are being replaced byUserInput
andSideEffect
to accommodate for the extended definition of these sources that now include animations (Side Effect) and Mouse Wheel and Keyboard (UserInput
). (I40579)ApproachLayoutModifierNode
andModifier.approachLayout
are now stable, with newisMeasurementApproachInProgress()
andisPlacementApproachInProgress()
to replace the oldisMeasurementApproachComplete()
andisPlacementApproachComplete()
respectively.- Removed deprecated
intermediateLayout
modifier. (I3e91c) - Rename
GraphicsLayer#buildLayer
to record to mirror the begin/endRecording methods of Displaylist backed APIs likeRenderNode
and Picture. - Updated
rememberGraphicsLayer
to leveragerememberObserver
. (I312c1, b/288494724, b/330758155) UrlAnnotation
is deprecated, useLinkAnnotation.Url
instead. If you're using Material theming, then useTextDefaults
object to create the annotation with Material theming applied to it (I8d180, b/323346545)- Text links got pressed state styling option in addition to normal styling, hovered and focused (I5f864, b/139312671)
String.parseAsHtml
renamed toAnnotatedString.Companion.fromHtml
. (I43dcd)- Added styling arguments (
linkStyle
,focusedLinkStyle
,hoveredLinkStyle
) and a link interaction listener to theparseAsHtml
method. When parsing the HTML-tagged string with<a>
tags, the method will construct aLinkAnnotation.Url
for each such tag and pass the styling objects and link interaction listener to each annotation. (I7c977) LinkAnnotation
now takes the state-based styling arguments and aLinkInteractionListener
. Add this annotation to theAnnotatedString
to get a hyperlink. By passingfocusedState
and/orhoveredState
you can define the visualconfiguration
for links when they are focused and/or hovered. (I81ce4, b/139312671)ImeOptions.hintLocales
is no longer nullable. If you want to pass an empty Locale list, please useLocaleList.Empty
. (Ic5bc4)
Bug Fixes
- Gracefully handles bad/corrupt historical input event data (ignores bad offset data).
- Fixes unexpected pointer events when a pointer input modifier is added dynamically before another pointer input modifier during an active pointer input event stream (for example, between a hover enter and hover exit [mouse/stylus]).
Version 1.7.0-alpha06
April 3, 2024
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.7.0-alpha06
is released. Version 1.7.0-alpha06 contains these commits.
New Features
- Added
parseAsHtml
method for styled strings: it allows to convert a string marked with HTML tags intoAnnotatedString
. Note that not all tags are supported, for example you won't be able to display bullet lists yet. (I84d3d, I30626, b/139326648) - Implemented experimental support for long screenshots in Compose scroll containers using the official Android API (
ScrollCaptureCallback
). This feature is experimental and may not currently handle all cases correctly. For that reason it is currently disabled by default. To opt-in, set theComposeFeatureFlag_LongScreenshotsEnabled
flag to true. (I2b055, b/329296471)
API Changes
fun ClipEntry.getMetadata()
is changed toval ClipEntry.clipMetadata
. (I50155)- Removed
ClipboardManager.getClipMetadata
andClipboardManager.hasClip
functions. Please useclipEntry.getMetadata()
to read the current clip entry's metadata. Also checkClipboardManager.getClip
's result if it's null or not to understand whether Clipboard has a current clip. (I50498) - Now you can pass
GraphicsLayer
objects intoplaceable.placeWithLayer()
functions (I1b22f) ClipboardManager.setClip
now accepts null to be able to clear the Clipboard. (I7d2e9)- Added resource ids for assist with hiding Views used as implementation details within build tooling (I99531)
- Added
GraphicsLayer#toImageBitmap
suspend method to support rendering contents of a bitmap into aGraphicsLayer
. This is a hardware accelerated rendering operation on API level 22+ (inclusive) which supports over 99% of all Android devices. On Android API level 21 this falls back onto software rendering. (I9e114) - Helper method to convert an Android
RectF
toComposeRect
(I39925, b/325660505) - All
KeyboardOptions
parameters now have an unspecified value by default. AddedKeyboardOptions.merge
method. - Renamed
KeyboardOptions.autoCorrect
toautoCorrectEnabled
and made it nullable, where null indicates no value was specified. (Ia8ba0, b/295951492) BasicTextField(state)
variant andBasicSecureTextField
now useKeyboardActionHandler
instead ofKeyboardActions
to process actions taken by the software keyboard. (I58dda)
Version 1.7.0-alpha05
March 20, 2024
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.7.0-alpha05
is released. Version 1.7.0-alpha05 contains these commits.
New Features
- Introduce new
GraphicsLayer
API to record drawing commands in a display list as well as additional properties that affect the rendering of the display list. This provides an isolation boundary to divide a complex scene into smaller pieces that can be updated individually of one another without recreating the entire scene. Transformations made to aGraphicsLayer
can be done without re-recording the display list. UnlikeModifier.graphicsLayer
,GraphicsLayer
allows for rendering of Composable content elsewhere and is useful in animated use cases where content is expected to be rendered in different scenes.
API Changes
GraphicsLayer.draw(Canvas)
is not a public api anymore. Please use theDrawScope.drawLayer(GraphicsLayer)
extension function instead to draw the layer. (I7a7c0)- Split
restrictedConstraints()
to two methods:fitPrioritizingWidth()
andfitPrioritizingHeight()
(I6d7fd) - Introduced
HardwareCanvas
stub for Android L usage (I1c3b5, b/288494724) - Update Compose framework to expose a
GraphicsContext
composition local alongside updating Owner,DelegateableNode
anddrawWithCache
Modifier implementations to expose access to theGraphicsContext
for scoped access that will automatically cleanupGraphicsLayer
instances when Modifiers are torn down. (I64a2f, b/288494724) - Introduced
InterceptPlatformTextInput
for helping write low-level IME-related tests and other low-level IME use cases.PlatformTextInputTestOverride
has been deprecated. (I862ed, b/322680547) GraphicsLayer.setOutline(Outline)
extension function was added. (Ib81f4)- Introduce
GraphicsContext
function constructor to create a factory to createGraphicsLayer
instances (Ib98d6, b/288494724) - Exposed
GraphicsLayer
API to provide developer defined flexibility in capturing drawing commands that can be used to draw elsewhere and also apply different visual effects to the end result. (I80245, b/288494724) - Introduce the
Paragraph#getRangeForRect
which returns a range of text covered by a given rectangle area. (Iee516, b/325660505) - Removed experimental override of
BasicText
withonLinkClicked
argument. A replacement API for hyperlinks support will follow in the future. (I107d5)
Bug Fixes
- Added
GraphicsLayer
expect/actual API definition to support capturing and replaying of drawing commands with optional compositing visual effects and transforms. IntroduceGraphicsContext
interface to contain graphics dependencies including creation and management ofGraphicsLayer
instances. (I4a8d6, b/288494724) - Fixed an interop issue with 1D focus search where focus would get stuck inside a
ComposeView
that was embedded among other views. (I08fd4)
External Contribution
LocalLifecycleOwner
moved from Compose UI tolifecycle-runtime-compose
so that its Compose-based helper APIs can be used outside of Compose UI. Thanks Jake Wharton for the contribution. (I6c41b, b/328263448)- Consistently expose bias float properties on all bias-based alignment subtypes. (I69f0f, b/328088992)
Version 1.7.0-alpha04
March 6, 2024
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.7.0-alpha04

API Changes
- Support stylus handwriting feature for BasicTextField2 on devices after Android U. (I002e4)
- In this CL we are adding the
GetScrollViewportLength
semantic action so we can pipe up information about the components being scrolled in compose to the a11y system. This CL also applies the usage of said property in Foundation Scrollable Lists. (Ic5fa2) FocusRequester.createRefs
is now stable (I4d92c, b/261436820)- Introduced
DelegatableNode.requireView()
to allow modifier nodes to get the current AndroidView
without reading a composition local. (I40768) - New API
Path.reverse()
to reverse a path's direction (I36348) - Added
hintLocales
toKeyboardOptions
to provideTextFields
with the ability to hint IMEs with specific locales to preset a preferred language. - Expose

. This update is designed to provide performance optimal components, whereContextualFlow*
is perfect for a large number of items making use of a smallmaxLines
config and dynamic +N see more buttons, andFlowRow
andFlowColumn
is perfect for a small number of items, less than 100 items. Important: To maintain existing behavior inFlowRow
orFlowColumn
where all items are composed regardless of if they fit the cross axis max, setoverflow
toFlowRowOverflow.Visible
orFlowColumnOverflow.Visible
during initialization. ExploreContextualFlowRowSample
andFlowRowSample
for examples of these new features in action. (Ib9135, b/293577082) - Add
maxTextLength
semantics property that should be set on text fields that filter the maximum allowed number of characters. (I24d9f, b/170648072) - The
Modifier.inspectable
wrapper has been deprecated. This API will create more invalidations of your modifier than necessary, so its use is now discouraged. Developers are encouraged to implement theinspectableProperties()
method onModifierNodeElement
if they would like to expose modifier properties to tooling. (Ib3236) - New constructor for
PopupProperties
which allows for full control overWindowManager.LayoutParams
flags. (Ibb33e, b/312485503) - Introduced

Bug Fixes
- Fixed a backwards compatibility issue with
SemanticsPropertyReceiver.performImeAction
andSemanticsActions.PerformImeAction
. (Ie0bb2, b/322269946) - Layouts now issue an error while measuring when one returns an abnormally large size. This kind of error normally happens when the measurement uses maximum constraints directly without checking for
Constraints.Infinity
. The check will help developers find problems with the layout having the wrong size rather than in a layout that contains it. (I339a9)

API Changes
- The
DragAndDropTarget
modifier now takes in the receivingDragAndDropTarget
explicitly and has a lambda to opt into a drag and drop session. There are now two factory functions for aDragAndDropModifierNode
. One for receiving transfers and one for transferring data (I69481) - Updated
maximumFlingVelocity
to be represented as Float. Updated documentation to be more clear about themaximumFlingVelocity
unity. (I8adc7) onDragAndDropStart
in theDragAndDropModifierNode
factory has been renamed toacceptDragAndDropTransfer
.acceptsDragAndDropTransfer
has been added to thedragAndDropTarget
Modifier to accept from a drag and drop session. This lambda returns a viableDragAndDropTarget
if interested in a drag and drop session. Other lambdas for processing drag events have been replaced by this. aDragAndDropTarget
factory function has been added to receive from drag and drop sessions (Iebf3a)Removed
DragAndDropInfo
as a typeDragAndDropModifierNode.drag
now takes parameters for thetransferData
, decoration size and drag decorationDrawScope
lambdaDragAndDropTarget
has methods for particular drag and drop events instead of being a single abstract methodonDragAndDropEvent

torunTextInputSession
. (Ie9c6b)The children of
SubcomposeLayout
(and layouts likeLazyColumn
based on it) which are retained to be reused in future are considered deactivated. NewassertIsDeactivated()
test API was introduced to test such nodes. The rests of the test apis will filter out deactivated nodes by default. (I2ef84, b/187188981)Removed
FocusDirection.In
andFocusDirection.Out
useFocusDirection.Enter
andFocusDirection.Exit
instead (I2f660)Material
SwipeToReveal
APIs (for Cards and Chips) now rely on a slot based API (as recommended by Compose) instead of data class based instances to create those slots. This is a breaking change, please see the demo and sample code for examples on how to use the new API. (Ia8943)FontStyle(int)
constructor is deprecated, useFontStyle.Normal
orFontStyle.Italic
instead. (I66610)Renamed

Unspecified
value forTextAlign
,TextDirection
,Hyphens
andLineBreak
fields of theParagraphTextStyle
to replacenull
. Because these classes are inline classes, by replacing nullable with the Unspecified, we avoid primitive type boxing. Constructors, getters and other methods inTextStyle
and Paragraph style were updated to accept the mentioned parameters as non-null types. (I4197e, b/299490814) - Add
GoogleFont
overload for reading aGoogleFont
from XML. (If8f59) - Made
LoremIpsum

showSystemUi=true
toPreviewScreenSizes
definition (Ib61d3)
Behavior Changes
- Compose now uses non-linear font scaling for better readability and accessibility. When font scale > 100% in system settings, small text will increase in size normally, but already-large text will only increase a little bit. Also, line heights defined in SP will automatically adjust to stay proportional to the 100% scale intended height. See the Font Scaling Best Practices for more info. (I11518)
Version 1.6.0-alpha05

Version 1.6.0-alpha02
July 26, 2023
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.6.0-alpha02
is released. Version 1.6.0-alpha02 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Added a service locator interface that can be implemented by implementors of Composition that allows an implementation of Composition that delegates to another composition delegate service lookups to the original Composition. This should not be called directy and is used to enable creating experimental APIs in the runtime that can be found from wrapped versions of the composer such as the UI module does. (I296b9)
- Completely redesigned
PlatformTextInput*
API. (I6c93a, b/274661182, b/267235947, b/277380808) SoftwareKeyboardController
andLocalSoftwareKeyboardController
are no longer experimental.LocalSoftwareKeyboardController

Bug Fixes
AndroidView
'supdate
callback's first invocation will now be defered until the view is attached, instead of running when the composition that introduces theAndroidView
is applied. This fixes a bug where theupdate
callback wouldn't be invalidated if a state it read was changed immediately by an effect. (Ie9438, b/291094055)
Version 1.6.0-alpha01
June 21, 2023
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.6.0-alpha01
is released. Version 1.6.0-alpha01 contains these commits.
New Features
- Support lookahead in
LazyList
. This allowsLazyList
in the lookahead pass to bypass any animation (e.g. item placement animation,AnimatedVisibility
, etc) and to calculate the lookahead size and position for all children. After the lookahead pass, children ofLazyList
could animate independently to the reality as seen in the lookahead pass.
Behavior Change: includeFontPadding is now false by default in Compose
includeFontPadding
is now false by default (21d806) in Compose.
includeFontPadding
is a legacy attribute that controls whether or not to include extra padding on top of the first line and last line of the text to accommodate any characters that may extend above or below the text baselines.
Updating this Compose version will modify how all texts render in your UI by removing the extra padding on top of the first line and last line of every text you display.
Depending on your UI requirements and the font metrics you’re using, the changes should be minimal. However you might encounter blockers such as: - Broken screenshot tests. Fix the UI if required, and regenerate the golden images. - Text is slightly misaligned. Remove any custom negative paddings or add padding if required.
You can opt-in to includeFontPadding
by using PlatformTextStyle
for each text:
Text(
text = myText,
style = TextStyle(
lineHeight = 2.5.em,
platformStyle = PlatformTextStyle(
includeFontPadding = true/false
)
/* … */
)
)
You can opt-in to includeFontPadding
for all your texts by configuring your Material styles. Note that parameter names will vary between M2 and M3.
val Typography = Typography(
body1 = TextStyle(
fontFamily = /* … */,
fontSize = /* … */,
platformStyle = PlatformTextStyle(
includeFontPadding = false
)
/* … */
)
)
MaterialTheme(
typography = Typography,
/* … */
)
You can find more about Compose includeFontPadding
in developer documentation and this blog post.

composable. (I82551, b/262140644)
Version 1.5.0-alpha03
April 19, 2023
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.5.0-alpha03
is released. Version 1.5.0-alpha03 contains these commits.
New Features
- New default behavior for
SubcomposeLayout
inLookaheadScope
:SubcomposeLayouts
that don’t have conditional slots (e.g.TabRow
,Scaffold
,BoxWithConstraints
, etc) now work nicely with lookahead animations.
API Changes
- New default
intermediateMeasurePolicy
that reuses measure policy from lookahead pass allowsSubcomposeLayout
subtypes without conditional slots such asScaffold
,TabRow
, andBoxWithConstraints
to work with lookahead by default. (Id84c8) - The recomposer created for an Android window will now only block calls to
withFrameNanos
instead of all composition when it receives anON_STOP
notification. This means windows associated with stopped activites will continue to recompose for data changes but the animations, or any other caller ofwithFrameNanos
, will block. (Id9e7f, b/240975572) - Changes
motionEventSpy
to stable. (Ic5ec4, b/261560988) - Added public
TextRange.constrain
method. (I97912) PlatformTextStyle.includeFontPadding
is no longer deprecated to encourage developers to use this compatibility API to switch and test settingincludeFontPadding
false. (I98e96, b/277703184)
Version 1.5.0-alpha02
April 5, 2023
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.5.0-alpha02
is released. Version 1.5.0-alpha02 contains these commits.
API Changes
- New
SubcomposeLayout
API that takes an additional intermediate measure policy for handling measure/layout logic during lookahead-based animations. (I017d3) - PointerInput is now lazy and uses Modifier.Node for better performance (read about the minor behavior change). (15dab9)
- Changes experimental APIs to stable with Key events. (I9c7d8, b/261566839, b/261567368)
- Changes experimental APIs to stable in
PointerInputChange
. (I1b543, b/261560988, b/261565762, b/261565749) - Adds a way to instantiate a
SuspendingPointerInputModifierNode
for more complexModifier.Node
implementations. (Ic4933) UrlAnnotation
s inAnnotatedString
s can now be opened via accessibility services likeTalkBack
. (If4d82, b/253292081)- Added an API to intercept hardware keys before they are sent to the soft keyboard (I4f4c6, b/186800395)
- Added the
InsertTextAtCursor
semantics action for text fields. (I11ed5) - Text-related test actions (e.g.
performTextInput
) will now request focus directly, using the semantics action, instead of clicking on the field. (I6ed05)
Bug Fixes
- Text test actions now require text fields to be enabled. (Iab328)
Version 1.5.0-alpha01
March 22, 2023
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.5.0-alpha01
is released. Version 1.5.0-alpha01 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Modifier.intermediateLayout now doesn't require an explicit LookaheadScope. The measure block in intermediateLayout has IntermediateMeasureScope as receiver, which provides convenient CoroutineScope, LookaheadScope and MeasureScope.(Ibe2e5)
- LookaheadLayout has been replaced by LookaheadScope, which is no longer a Layout. This allows chid content in a LookaheadScope to be directly controlled by parent's MeasurePolicy. (Ibe2e5)
- Adds
Modifier.Node#coroutineScope
to allow Modifier.Nodes to launch coroutines. (I76ef9) - Allow Modifier.Nodes to read CompositionLocals by implementing the CompositionLocalConsumerModifierNode interface. (Ib44df)
- Propagation of @Deprecated class to property. (I882d1)

androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.4.0
is released. Version 1.4.0 contains these commits.
Important changes since 1.3.0
- Added a new
PinnableContainer
API that allows lazy list items to be pinned, so that they are not disposed when they are scrolled out of bounds. For example,Modifier.focusable()
uses this mechanism to pin the currently focused item. (Ib8881, b/259274257, b/195049010) - The focus system is rewritten using the new experimental
Modifier.Node
APIs. (I7f4d7, b/247708726, b/255352203, b/253043481, b/247716483, b/254529934, b/251840112, b/251859987, b/257141589) - Added in
IsContainer
semantics property on Surfaces. This property will be used in a later change that determines traversal order based on the semantic meaning of elements such as surfaces. (I63379) - Added a new accessibility role
DropdownList
. This can be used to replicateTalkBack
's behavior when focusingandroid.widget.Spinner
. (I177e5, b/236159001) - You can now use
PlatformTextStyle(emojiSupportMatch)
to optionally disable emoji support processing for a single Paragraph. (Ia7100, b/139326806) - Android Compose UI tests will now run layout passes for each frame when executing frames to get to idle (e.g. via
waitForIdle
). This may affect tests that assert on individual frames of layout animations. (I8ea08, b/222093277) - Added experimental
TextMotion
toTextStyle
to define Text either to beStatic(default)
or Animated. UseTextMotion.Animated
if Text is going to be scaled, translated, or rotated via animation. (I24dd7)

API Changes
- Added an overload of
AndroidView
composable function, which accepts theonReset
param. It allows View instances to be reused when their node in the composition is discarded and reused in a compatible way. This is especially useful forLazyRows
andLazyColumns
of Views. (I3f10d, b/230099236) - Introduced new low-level
PlatformTextInputAdapter
API for building custom text input implementations that talk directly to platform APIs. (I58df4)
Bug Fixes
BasicTextField
'sSetText
semantics action will now update the text buffer using the same code path as IME updates and the testing functions (e.g.performTextReplacement
).- Text testing functions
performTextClearance
,performTextReplacement
, andperformTextSelection
now useSemanticsActions
. (I0807d, b/269633168, b/269624358)

API Changes
- Replaced
maxSize: IntSize
argument indrawText
withsize: Size
to be inline with otherDrawScope
functions.size
is set toSize.Unspecified
by default which should not change the previous default behavior. (Icd27d) - Removed deprecated experimental font constructor. (I8a724, b/261435386)
- The ui tooling data class
Group
now has a field,isInline
, that indicates if the group is for a call to an inline composable function. IfisInline
istrue
then the call is to an inline composable function. However, the value might be false for calls to inline composable functions that are from modules that are compiled with a version of the compose compiler plugin that doesn't generate the inline function information. (Idb846) - Graduated a number of previously experimental APIs to stable
- Rotary Scroll Event API is now stable (I42ad3, b/261561229)

is released. Version 1.4.0-alpha03 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Removing
ExperimentalComposeUiApi
fromPointerIcon
(I23af8) - Introduce Page accessibility actions:
PageUp
,PageDown
,PageLeft
,PageRight
. Note that these are only available from API 29. (Ida4ab) - Updated
rememberNestedScrollConnection
parameter view from root view to host view. (Ia5200) - Added an Modifier API to query ancestors scroll info. (I2ba9d, b/203141462)
- Used in

to correctly delay press interactions, when gestures could become scroll events. - Fixed
Clickables
not correctly delaying ripples, when used inside anScrollable ViewGroup
. - Updated Drawers and Sheets to correctly delay presses in case gestures can become scroll events.
- Renamed
CompositingStrategy.Always
toOffscreen
to indicate that thegraphicsLayer
will always be rendered into an intermediate buffer (I47dc1) - Layout overload with multiple content slots is now stable (I10566, b/248294649)
- Added experimental new APIs
PerfettoTrace.record {}
andPerfettoTraceRule
to capture Perfetto traces (also known as System Traces) as part of a test, to inspect test behavior and performance. (I3ba16) - In UI tests using a Compose rule, continuations resumed during
withFrameNanos
callbacks will not be dispatched until after all frame callbacks have finished running. This matches the behavior of compose when running normally. However, tests that rely on the old behavior may fail. This should only affect code that callswithFrameNanos
orwithFrameMillis
directly, and has logic outside of callback passed to those functions that may need to be moved inside the callbacks. See the animation test changes in this CL for examples. - Added optional
onPerformTraversals: (Long) -> Unit
parameter toTestMonotonicFrameClock
constructor and factory function to run code afterwithFrameNanos
callbacks but before resuming callers' coroutines. (Idb413, b/254115946, b/222093277, b/255802670) - Added EmojiCompat to Compose (Ibf6f9, b/139326806)

API Changes
- Updated
GraphicsLayerScope
to expose the current size of thegraphicsLayer
. This is useful for computinggraphicsLayer
transformations as a function of the Composable size. (If8c43,b/181387080) - Introduced
CompositingStrategy
to determine when to leverage an offscreen compositing layer for rendering ofgraphicsLayer
content. Auto maintains the default behavior which internally leverages a layer if alpha is applied or aRenderEffect/Overscroll
. Always will always introduce an offscreen buffer whereModulateAlpha
will avoid leveraging an offscreen buffer and instead will modulate each of the recorded drawing instructions within thegraphicsLayer
.ModulateAlpha
usage will still leverage an offscreen buffer forRenderEffect/Overscroll
usages (I25e82, b/256382834) invalidateSubtree()
was added toModifier.Node
to allow invalidating entire hierarchies for layout and drawing. (I4bd90)- Promote
rememberNestedScrollInteropConnection
to stable. Introduced the ability to pass a root view torememberNestedScrollInteropConnection
. This can help the custom view better react to scrolling constraints, specially in non-standard views (e.g.ModalBottomSheetDialog
). (I9e107) - Added
ObserverNode
interface that can be used byModifier.Node
implementations that need to be notified when a value that they had previously read has changed (I5728b, b/247716483) - Added a new constructor to

for use on Android. (I8950b) - Add
ToolingState
to allow tooling to change internal states of Composable (Ie6614) - Refactor tooling to have better support for new added animations (I8677b)
- Added
minLines
parameter into material and material3 Text,TextField
andOutlinedTextField
which allows setting the minimum height of the component in terms of number of lines (I4af1d)

androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.4.0-alpha01
is released. Version 1.4.0-alpha01 contains these commits.
API Changes
- A new method,
awaitEachGesture()
, for gesture detectors was added. It operates similar toforEachGesture()
, but the loop over gestures operates entirely within theAwaitPointerEventScope
so events can't be lost between iterations. forEachGesture()
has been deprecated in favor ofawaitEachGesture()
because it allows events to be lost between gestures. (Iffc3f, b/251260206)- Deprecating recycling of acccessibility objects in androidx. We've found performance changes to be negligible in even the oldest supported versions. (I0a961)
- Added
DrawStyle
as an Experimental attribute toTextStyle
andSpanStyle
to enable drawing outlined text. (If24b8, b/155421273) AnnotatedString.Builder
now implementskotlin.text.Appendable
. (I1a061, b/231030444)AnnotatedString.Builder

Version 1.3.0-beta01

is released. Version 1.3.0-beta01 contains these commits.
Modifier Node Refactor
The layer which handles Modifier/Modifier.Element
instances and coordinates their behavior on LayoutNodes
has been majorly refactored. As it stands this was a refactor which did not affect the public API of any of the many modifiers in Compose, and can be viewed as an implementation-only change. Despite that, this is an important change for various reasons. (Ie4313)
Change Summary
The added experimental Modifier.Node
APIs provide an abstraction that allows for state to be maintained on an instance that will be retained with the lifecycle of the layout node, and will be allocated per-layout-node and per-usage of the corresponding Modifier.Element
that produced it.
Broadly speaking, this abstraction provides an alternative mechanism to produce stateful modifiers without relying on the mechanics of the Modifier.composed
API.
Risk
This change is strictly binary compatible with prior releases, and is intended to be backwards compatible in terms of observable behavior as much as practical and reasonable. That said, there are few subsystems of compose this refactor did not touch, and it is likely that behavior has changed in ways that were not covered by our tests and have not yet been found and fixed.
Please upgrade to this release with caution. If you believe this has broken something for you, please let us know.
Experimental APIs
Various experimental APIs have been added, all relating to the new concept of a "Modifier Node". Modifier.Node’s are created as a result of
fun modifierElementOf(…): Modifier
abstract class ModifierNodeElement
abstract class Modifier.Node
abstract class DelegatingNode
interface LayoutModifierNode
interface DrawModifierNode
interface SemanticsNode
interface PointerInputNode
interface ModifierLocalNode
interface ParentDataModifierNode
interface LayoutAwareModifierNode
interface GlobalPositionAwareModifierNode
interface IntermediateLayoutModifierNode
Behavior breaking change
Maximum supported elevation in dialogs and popups has been reduced to 8dp.
The maximum supported elevation for Compose dialogs and popups has been reduced from 30dp to 8dp. This change affects both material and ui custom dialogs and popups. This change is made to mitigate an accessibility bug on Android versions below S, and to ensure that accessibility services within those windows are able to interact with the content inside the dialog or popup.
You will only be impacted by this change if you are creating a custom dialog or popup implementation with an elevation set to levels higher than 8dp. Consider lowering the elevation of your dialog or popup. If you need to opt-out from this new behavior, consider forking your own dialog or popup with the desired elevation set. This is not recommended, as accessibility might be negatively impacted and it is on the developer to ensure the bottom part of the dialog or popup is interactable and readable by accessibility services.

in thePlacementScope
. This lets developers know where the current layout is to place children relative to its position. (I5482b, b/238632578) - Added
LayoutCoordinates.transformFrom
to get the Matrix transformation from oneLayoutCoordinates
to another. (Ic5ab1, b/238632578) - Deprecated
SemanticsModifier.id
and moved the semantics id toLayoutInfo.semanticsId
instead. (Iac808, b/203559524) - Resource Fonts now support setting font variation settings (API 26+). (I900dd, b/143703328)
- Variable font support in
DeviceFontFamilyNameFont
(Ic1279, b/143703328) - Font constructors now accept a list of

to easily create and rememberTextMeasurer
instances in composition. (I8d66e) Rect
,RoundRect
, andMutableRect
now support the Kotlinin
syntax for calling thecontains
function. (Ie42b0, b/238642990)- Remove unnecessary functions from
KeyInjectionScope
, as they can be easily implemented with simpler parts of the API. The functions that have been removed includepressKeys
,keysDown

likeCanvas
anddrawBehind
. (I16a62, b/190787898) - Introduce a new experimental API called
TextMeasurer
that enables arbitrary text layout computation that creates identical results toBasicText
, independent from Compose runtime. (I17101) - Add
mapTree
toSlotTree.kt
. This allows tools to inspect theSlotTree
without making an in memory copy first like asTree does. For the Layout Inspector this gives a performance improvement of about a factor 10. (I5e113) - Changed Compose Preview to be stored in binary output files, in order to allow developers to write and reuse
MultiPreview
annotations from libraries. (I85699, b/233511976)
Bug Fixes
- When adding
InputEventChange
events toVelocity
Tracker we will consider now deltas instead of positions, this will guarantee the velocity is correctly calculated for all cases even if the target element moves (Icea9d, b/216582726, b/223440806, b/227709803) - Fix NPE caused by
AnnotatedString.toUpperCase

API Changes
- New
LookaheadLayout
that supports a lookahead pass before the actual measure/layout. This allows a pre-calculation of the layout when it changes, while permitting the post-lookahead measure/layout to use the pre-calculated size/position to animate the size and positions towards the target.SubcomposeLayouts
are not yet supported, but will be in an upcoming release. (I477f5) - Add optional alpha parameter to Brush flavor of
TextStyle
andSpanStyle
to modify opacity of the wholeText

API Changes
- Interfaces in compose libraries are now built using jdk8 default interface methods (I5bcf1)
- Added higher-order functions to
KeyInjectionScope
for injecting key presses while other keys are held down or toggled on. These functions includewithKeysDown
,withKeysToggled
etc. Also added properties for checking if a particular meta key is down, for example,isCtrlDown
to check if either control key is depressed. Refer toKeyInjectionScope
for documentation on each function. (I9f6cd, b/229831515) - An experimental
OverscrollEffect
has been introduced to allow for custom overscroll effects, alongside theModifier.scrollable
overloads that accept it. - Experimental
LocalOverScrollConfiguration
has been moved fromfoundation.gesture

is released. Version 1.2.0-beta03 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Added
pressKeyTimes
as well asisCapsLockOn
and friends toKeyInjectionScope
. Additionally, the API now supports mouse and keyboard combined injection patterns such as clicking a mouse button with a meta key held down. (I4c8da, b/229831515) - Added experimental support for injecting key events. Use
performKeyInput
to send key events, or send them through thekey
property ofMultiModalInjectionScope
during a multi modal input gesture withperformMultiModalInput
. SeeKeyInjectionScope
for documentation of the API. (Ic5000, b/229831515) - Add new
GoogleFont.Provider.AllFontsListUri
for retrieving the canonical internet source of Google Fonts supported by Android. - Improve error messages rethrown when GoogleFonts fail to load in compose. (I0416c)
Bug Fixes
- When adding
InputEventChange
events to Velocity Tracker we will consider now deltas instead of positions, this will guarantee the velocity is correctly calculated for all cases even if the target element moves (I51ec3, b/216582726, b/223440806, b/227709803) - The
Show Layout Bounds
setting will now be applied for composables immediately after toggling it from the quick settings tile, without having to leave and re-enter the activity. (I843d5, b/225937688) - Accessibility string lookup does not trigger font loading. Previously, it would attempt to load fonts for
StyleSpans
, which lead to crashes ifFontFamily.Resolver
had been overwritten. (I4609d) - Pressing the forward delete key when the cursor is at the end of a text field will no longer crash.
DeleteSurroundingTextCommand
andDeleteSurroundingTextInCodePointsCommand
now require their constructor arguments to be non-negative. (Ica8e6, b/199919707)
Version 1.2.0-beta02

API Changes
- Reusing functionality in other preview types (I19f39)
Bug Fixes
ViewCompositionStrategy.DisposeOnDetachedFromWindowIfNotInPoolingContainer
has been renamed toDisposeOnDetachedFromWindowOrReleasedFromPool
to better reflect that when disposals do occur, rather than simply when they do not occur. (If15ca)
Version 1.2.0-beta01
May 11, 2022
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.2.0-beta01
is released. Version 1.2.0-beta01 contains these commits.
New Features
- This is the first beta release of 1.2!
API Changes
- Added experimental
BeyondBoundsInterval
that can be used by custom implementations ofLazyList
when they layout items beyond visible bounds (Ifabfb, b/184670295) - Keyed versions of
Modifier.composed
are now stable API (Ie65e4, b/229988420) - Simplified the
rememberNestedScrollConnection
API to use composition locals to acquire the current view information (I67ca7) - The
@ComposableTarget
annotation and annotations marked by@ComposableTargetMarker
can now be used at the file scope using the@file
prefix. Using a target annotation at the file scope will cause the compiler to assume all composable functions in the file are intended to be target the associated applier. For example, using@file:UiComposable
declares that all@Composable
functions target the Compose UI applier. A function that needs to target another applier must explicitly supply the target marker annotation for the desired applier. (I40804) Introduced new experimental, platform independent, test API: an
interface ComposeUiTest
and afun runComposeUiTest(block: ComposeUiTest.() -> Unit)
, that can be used to run Compose Ui tests without the need for aTestRule
. To run a test without aComposeTestRule
, pass the test as a lambda torunComposeUiTest
, and use the methods and members in the receiver scopeComposeUiTest
, which are the same ones as inComposeContentTestRule
.The Android specific
interface AndroidComposeUiTest
andfun runAndroidComposeUiTest(block: AndroidComposeUiTest.() -> Unit)
are added to provide access to the underlying Activity, similar toAndroidComposeTestRule
. For even more control, you can instantiate aclass AndroidComposeUiTestEnvironment
yourself.The Desktop implementation is the
class DesktopComposeUiTest
, but no Desktop specific run functions are offered at the moment.Migrating a test from a
ComposeTestRule
toComposeUiTest
can be done like this (Android example). From:@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class) class MyTest { @get:Rule val rule = createComposeRule() @Test fun test() { rule.setContent { Text("Hello Compose!") } rule.onNodeWithText("Hello Compose!").assertExists() } }
To:
@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class) class MyTest { @Test @OptIn(ExperimentalTestApi::class) fun test() = runComposeUiTest { setContent { Text("Hello Compose!") } onNodeWithText("Hello Compose!").assertExists() } }
For now,
ComposeContentTestRule
andComposeTestRule
don't extend fromComposeUiTest
, which means extension functions onComposeUiTest
can't be called yet on theTestRule
interface. WhenComposeUiTest
graduates to stable API,ComposeContentTestRule
andComposeTestRule
will be changed to extend fromComposeUiTest
. (Ib4e90)LineHeightBehavior
is renamed asLineHeightStyle
LineVerticalAlignment
is renamed asLineHeightStyle.Alignment
Renames
LineHeightTrim
is renamed asLineHeightStyle.Trim
Default constructor values from
LineHeightStyle
is removed (I582bf, b/181155707)Added
Brush
toTextStyle
andSpanStyle
to provide a way to draw text with gradient coloring. (I53869, b/187839528)trimFirstLineTop
,trimLastLineBottom
attributes ofLineHeightBehavior
changed into a single enum:LineHeightTrim
.LineHeightTrim
have values of 4 states defined by two booleans:FirstLineTop
,LastLineBottom
, Both and None (Ifc6a5, b/181155707)Added
LineHeightBehavior
to theTextStyle
andParagraphStyle
.LineHeightBehavior
controls whether line height is applied to the top of the first line and to the bottom of the last line. It also defines the alignment of line in the space provided byTextStyle(lineHeight)
.For example it is possible to get a behavior similar to what CSS defines via
LineHeightBehavior(alignment = LineVerticalAlignment.Center, trimFirstLineTop=false, trimLastLineBottom = false)
.trimFirstLineTop
,trimLastLineBottom
configurations works correctly only whenincludeFontPadding
is false. (I97332, b/181155707)PlatformParagraphStyle.lerp
andPlatformSpanStyle.lerp
functions are changed to be top level functions (I9a268)
Bug Fixes
PointerInputChange::copy
documentation now correctly states that it is a shallow copy. (I182f5)- Support ellipsis when height is limited and doesn't fit all text lines (Ie528c, b/168720622)
- Turned on default
includeFontPadding
. It is possible to turn off theincludeFontPadding
usingTextStyle.platformTextStyle
attribute. In the near future we will change the default behavior however until that time this allows us to better integrate line height improvements (aosp/2058653) and solveTextField
clipping issues. (I01423, b/171394808)
External Contribution
MouseInjectionScope.scroll(delta = someDelta)
is now inverted on Android if we scroll vertically (if someDelta is positive, it will scroll downward) (Ifb697, b/224992993)
Version 1.2.0-alpha08
April 20, 2022
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.2.0-alpha08
is released. Version 1.2.0-alpha08 contains these commits.
API Changes
- The
pluralStringResource
functions were marked as experimental in order to allow evolution to support better internationalization in the future. (If24e4) - 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)- PointerIcon is now a
@Stable
interface (I9dafe) - Partial consumption (down OR position) has been deprecated in
PointerInputChange
. You can useconsume()
to consume the change completely. You can useisConsumed
to determine whether or not someone else has previously consumed the change. PointerInputChange::copy()
now always makes a shallow copy. It means that copies ofPointerInputChange
will be consumed once one of the copies is consumed. If you want to create an unboundPointerInputChange
, use constructor instead. (Ie6be4, b/225669674)- Enable Nested Scroll interop between Compose and View in the direction Compose > View. This means that a compose parent will be able to receive nested scroll deltas from a nested scroll view. (If7949, b/174348612)
- New
SemanticsProperty testTagsAsResourceId
, which can be used to make Compose conform with UIAutomator tests designed for the View system. (I39c20) - 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. This is a behavior change as previously only weights 400 and 700 were supported on API 21-28. (I380fe, b/156048036, b/226441992) - Paragraph and Multiparagraph instructors reordered positional arguments to before optional arguments. (Idafaa)
AndroidFont
now takes typefaceLoader as a constructor parameter. (I2c971)
Version 1.2.0-alpha07
April 6, 2022
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.2.0-alpha07
is released. Version 1.2.0-alpha07 contains these commits.
API Changes
- New function
Snapshot.withoutReadObservation { ... }
was added. It allows users to run the passed lambda without subscribing to the changes of the state values read during this block. You could find it useful in use cases when you want to benefit from the snapshot based thread safe write/reads, but want to be able to read the value without causing unnecessary recomposition or remeasure. (I9f365, b/214054486) - The
consumeWindowInsets
extension property ofComposeView
allows developers to disable consumption of AndroidWindowInsets
. This allows separateComposeViews
in the hierarchy to each applyWindowInsets
without interfering with each other. (I0ef08, b/220943142) - Added
KeyboardType.Decimal
as an alternative toKeyboard.Number
for specifically including decimal separator in IME. (Iec4c8, b/209835363) PointerEventType.Scroll
andPointerEvent.scrollDelta
are stable APIs now (I574c5, b/225669674)- Enable Nested Scroll interop between View and Compose for cooperating View classes. This means compose is now able to dispatch scroll deltas to a (cooperating) View parent. (I5d1ac, b/174348612)
- Updated
FontFamily.Resolver
to integrate System-wide bold text accessibility setting (I6c1e7) Font(AssetManager, String, ...)
is deprecated, replaced withFont(String, AssetManager, ...)
. This is an experimental API. (I1c7a4)- Add new font descriptor
Font(DeviceFontFamilyName)
to optionally lookup system-installed fonts during font fallback chains. (I30468, b/219754572) - Added temporary compatibility configuration for
includeFontPadding
in TextStyle/ParagraphStyle.includeFontPadding
can be changed viaTextStyle(platformStyle = PlatformTextStyle(includeFontPadding = true/false))
. This is a temporary configuration option to enable migration and will be removed. (If47be, b/171394808) - Add
GoogleFont.Provider.isAvailableOnDevice
extension for debugging help. (I64e31) - Add
GoogleFont.Provider
constructor for use with@ArrayRes
(Ic5ee1, b/225984280) Compose GoogleFont
is now calledFont(GoogleFont)
, API remains stable otherwise. (I125f2)
Bug Fixes
- Added lint check to material/Scaffold to ensure that the inner padding is being used (Ifb111)
Version 1.2.0-alpha06
March 23, 2022
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.2.0-alpha06
is released. Version 1.2.0-alpha06 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Added
RequestFocus
semantics action to request focus on the focusable target. (I17b71) - Updated parsing of vector drawables to support auto mirroring to flip the content of a
VectorPainter
if the current layout direction is RTL. (I79cd9, b/185760237) Updated shadow/ambient colors to be trailing parameters of
Modifier.graphicsLayer
for API compatibility (I3f864, b/160665122)Added default implementations to shadow/ambient color on
GraphicsLayerScope
to ensure non-breaking API changesAdded event time to RSB events (Ief8ae)
FocusOrder
has now been merged intoFocusProperties
andfocusProperties()
now has all the capabilities offocusOrder()
.FocusOrder
andfocusOrder()
have been deprecated.focusOrder()
that accepts afocusRequester
should be replaced with afocusRequester()
modifier in combination withfocusProperties()
. This allows the modifiers to have a stronger separation of concerns. (I601b7)Upgrading both
RecyclerView
andCompose
will now result in much better scrolling performance for RecyclerViews with Compose views as children.Add
ViewCompositionStrategy.Default
as a means of retrieving the built-in default strategyAdd
ViewCompositionStrategy.DisposeOnDetachedFromWindowIfNotInPoolingContainer
, which is the new default strategy and properly handles pooling containers such as RecyclerView. (If7282)Added support for annotating annotations classes with @Preview as a first step for adding the Multipreview feature. Such annotations could be used to annotate Composable methods or other annotation classes, which could then be considered as indirectly annotated with the given @Preview. (I12eff)
Reference devices added to the Devices list for @Preview (I071c9)
Bug Fixes
- Updated Vector graphics APIs to use the proper composable annotation @VectorComposable instead of @UiComposable (I942bc)
- Remove crossinline from
AnnotatedString.Builder.withStyle
(If84d5)
External Contribution
- compose-ui: Add
ambientShadowColor
andspotShadowColor
properties toGraphicsLayerScope
(I1ba1a, b/160665122) - Plural resources are now supported via the
pluralStringResource
functions. (Ib2f23, b/191375123)

API Changes
TextToolbar
now takes lambda arguments instead ofActionCallback
. (Ib2eb9, b/197950089)- Updated nullability in core and appcompat to match Tiramisu DP2 (I0cbb7)
- Measured interface now exposes parentData property (I3313f)
Modifier.onPlaced
and theOnPlacedModifier
interface are now stable. (Ib5482)- Hooray! Compose animation now supports 'Animator duration scale' setting from Developer Options. (I5a4fc, b/161675988)
- Added a
BeyondBoundsLayout
modifier local (If8b51, b/184670295) - Text: includeFontPadding is now turned off by default. The
clipping issues as a result of
includeFontPadding=false
is handled and no clipping should occur for tall scripts. (I31c84, b/171394808)
Bug Fixes
ComposeContentTestRule.setContent
will now throw anIllegalStateException
if you try to set content when there already is content. (I888a5, b/199631334)- Fix crash caused by clipboard content while reading from clipboard on Android. (I06020, b/197769306)
- Improve RSB scrolling samples. (I6a596)

Version 1.2.0-alpha04
February 23, 2022
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.2.0-alpha04
is released. Version 1.2.0-alpha04 contains these commits.
API Changes
Added
ComposableTarget
,ComposableTargetMarker
andComposableOpenTarget
that allows compile time reporting of when a composable function is called targeting an applier it was not designed to use.In most cases the annotations can be inferred by the compose compiler plugin so using these annotation directly should be rare . The cases that cannot be inferred include creating and using a custom applier, abstract composable functions (such as interface methods), fields or global variables that are composable lambdas (local variables and parameters are inferred), or when using
ComposeNode
or a related composable functions.For custom appliers the composable functions that calls
ComposeNode
orReusableComposeNode
need to add aComposableTarget
annotation for the function and any composable lambda parameter types. It is recommended, however, to create an annotation that is annotated withComposableTargetMarker
and then the marked annotation be used instead ofComposableTarget
directly. A composable annotation marked withComposableTargetMarker
is equivalent to aComposbleTarget
with the fully qualified name of the attribute class as the applier parameter. For an example of usingComposableTargetMarker
seeanroidx.compose.ui.UiComposable
. (I38f11)Font(resId, ...)
now takes loadingStrategy on stable API. (Ief3d2)FontLoadingStrategy
is now stable API. (I1ee35, b/174162090)Support async font loading in Text (I77057, b/214587005)
Add bridge API for converting custom
Font.ResourceLoader
intoFontFamily.Resolver
. (Ia0060)
Bug Fixes
- Provided
FontFamily.Resolver
are passed to subcompositions such as Popup. - Provided
Font.ResourceLoader
are passed to subcompositions such as Popup. (I48fa5)
Version 1.2.0-alpha03
February 9, 2022
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.2.0-alpha03
is released. Version 1.2.0-alpha03 contains these commits.
API Changes
notifyFocusedRect
methods inTextInputSession
andTextInputService
are now deprecated and won't be called. UseBringIntoViewRequester
instead. (Ia4302, b/192043120, b/216842427, b/178211874)- Introduced
destroyDisplayListData
method onRenderNode
stub class (I1e659, b/216660268) - Added a new api which allows to premeasure children of
SubcomposeLayout
you precomposed. (I857ea) Added
movableContentOf
which converts a composable lambda into a lambda that moves it state, and corresponding nodes, to any new location it is called. When the previous call leaves the composition the state is temporarily preserved and if a new call to the lambda enters the composition then the state, and associated nodes, are moved to the location of the new call. If no new call is added the state is removed permanently and remember observers are notified.If a
movableContentOf
lambda is called multiple times in the same composition, new state and nodes are created for each call and, as calls leave the composition and new calls enter, the state is moved from the first leaving calls to the entering calls in the order they are called. All state not claimed by new calls is removed permanently. (Ib4850)FontFamilyResolver
is now available viaLocalFontFamilyResolver.current
Added
createFontFamilyResolver(context)
andcreateFontFamilyResolver(context, coroutineScope)
to create new FontFamily resolvers outside of compose usage.Paragraph and MultiParagraph now take
FontFamily.Resolver
TextLayoutResult.layoutInput.fontFamilyResolver
now contains the resolver used for this layout, deprecatedTextLayoutResult.layoutInput.resourceLoader
as it is no longer used. (Id5a45, b/174162090)Support for async and optional font loading, with fallback behavior. This path is used by Text and TextField, and exposed through FontFamilyResolver
Support for preloading fonts via
FontFamilyResolver.preload
FontFamilyResolver.setAsyncLoadContext
allows setting the global coroutine context used for loading async fonts. (I87fe8, b/174162090)Added
AndroidFont
, a new low-level API for providing new types of font resource descriptors on Android. For example, loading fonts from an app-specific backend, optionally locating pre-installed fonts on-device, or loading a font from a resource not provided by the current Font factories.Expanded
Font.ResourceLoaded
API to support optional and async font loading. It is not recommended that application developers use this API directly. To add new types of fonts seeAndroidFont
.Font.AndroidResourceLoader
extension function allows construction of aFont.ResourceLoader
when outside of composition.Added
loadingStrategy
parameter to resource-based fonts, to allow async loading when resource font references downloadable fonts XML. (Ie5aea, b/174162090)Typeface(FontFamily)
constructor is deprecated. This was previously used to preload fonts, which may take up to 10 seconds for downloadable fonts. With downloadable fonts, this call may block for 10 seconds. Instead useFontFamilyResolver.preload
.fontResource(FontFamily): Typeface
is deprecated. This was previously used to preload fonts, which may take up to 10 seconds for downloadable fonts. Instead useFontFamilyResolver.preload
(If8e7c, b/174162090)SubcomposeLayoutState
constructor acceptingmaxSlotsToRetainForReuse
is now deprecated. Instead there is a new constructor acceptingSubcomposeSlotReusePolicy
- a new interface allowing more granular control on what slots should be retained for the future reuse. (I52c4d)Exposes HSV and HSL function in
Color
as non-experimental API. The Oklab color space is now public API. (I08fb6, b/180731008)Deprecated
AndroidComposeTestRule.AndroidComposeStatement
, which was not meant to be in public API and didn't do anything for you anyway. (Ibc46b)Internal generated kt class rename (Ia0b9e, b/174162090)

Bug Fixes
- TextFields will now be kept above the keyboard when they are
focused and the keyboard is shown, when the soft input mode is
ADJUST_PAN
. (I8eaeb, b/190539358, b/192043120) - Desktop uses composition local for
FontFamily.Resolver
- Desktop

Version 1.1.0
February 9, 2022
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.1.0
is released. Version 1.1.0 contains these commits.
Important changes since 1.0.0
- Stable support for the Android 12 Overscroll effect
- Improvements to touch target sizing
- Note that, with respect to Compose 1.0, Material components will expand their layout space to meet Material accessibility guidelines for touch target size. For instance, Button touch target will expand to a minimum size of 48x48dp, even if you set the Button's size to be smaller. This aligns Compose Material to the same behavior of Material Design Components, providing consistent behavior if you mix Views and Compose. This change also ensures that when you create your UI using Compose Material components, minimum requirements for touch target accessibility will be met.
- Stable Support for Navigation Rail
- Graduates a number of previously experimental APIs to stable
- Support for newer versions of Kotlin
Version 1.1.0-rc03

androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.1.0-beta04
is released. Version 1.1.0-beta04 contains these commits.
New Features
- Updated to be compatible with Kotlin
1.6.0
API Changes
- Cleaned up nullability in
androidx.core.view
(I7078a, b/204917439) - Experimental APIs were added that allow users to consume PointerInputchange as a whole or check whether it was consumed or not. (I2e59d)
- Adds support for mouse scroll wheel events in the UI layer. (Ia14eb, b/198214718)
- Add experimental
Modifier.composed
overloads that accept keys to compare for equality and qualify for skipping optimizations. (Ice799, b/205851704) ComposeNotIdleException
now extends fromException
instead of directly fromThrowable
. Note that this means that catch clauses that were catchingException
might now catchComposeNotIdleException
s, where they wouldn't do that previously. (I9c217)
Bug Fixes
- Fix text handles not moving when IME visibility changes. (I25f2e)
Version 1.1.0-beta03
November 17, 2021
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.1.0-beta03
is released. Version 1.1.0-beta03 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Added new modifier Modifier.onPlaced to allow placement change to be observed. Additional changes to child modifier's offset can therefore be made based on the observed placement change. (I558fd)
- Removed
InjectionScope.flush()
andInjectionScope.dispose()
. Flushing of all events and disposing of the scope now happens at the end of the called perform*Input() method like before. (I2bed8) - Removed
MultiModalInjectionScope.Touch
andMultiModalInjectionScope.Mouse
. In order to inject touch and mouse events for multi-modal gestures, you can now useMultiModalInjectionScope.touch()
andMultiModalInjectionScope.mouse()
, both of which accept a lambda that has the receiver scope of that modality. (Idde18)
Bug Fixes
- The default value for
durationMillis
inTouchInjectionScope.swipeWithVelocity
is now calculated such that the swipe is feasible. (I19deb)

Version 1.1.0-alpha06
October 13, 2021
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.1.0-alpha06
is released. Version 1.1.0-alpha06 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Remove
ExperimentalComposeUiApi
fromViewRootForInspector
andLayoutInfo.ownerViewId
(I5c2e3) - A child-less overload for Layout was added, with improved efficiency (Ib0d9a)
- Removed
InternalCompilerApi
from Composer methods that are required to be called cross-module (I1aa0b) SemanticsNodeInteraction.performSemanticsAction
now returns theSemanticsNodeInteraction
on which the function was called. (I9e5db)- Added LocalInputModeManager CompositionLocal to detect TouchMode/NonTouchMode. (I6a83c, b/175899786)
- Added
viewConfiguration: ViewConfiguration
toLayoutInfo
to allow consumers get the correct value for things like long press timeout. (I76ca6)- Added
viewConfiguration: ViewConfiguration
toInjectionScope
to allow tests to adjust input injection based on things like long press timeout or touch slop. - Changed default duration of long press and double tap for both
touch and mouse input to be based on the values in
InjectionScope.viewConfiguration
.
- Added
- Implementation of ExposedDropdownMenu based on ExposedDropdownMenuBox with TextField and DropdownMenu inside (If60b2)
- dismissOnOutsideClick was added to PopupProperties, replacing dismissOnClickOutside which was deprecated. The new property receives the click position and the anchor bounds, providing finer control over whether onDismissRequest should be invoked or not. For example, this can be useful to prevent anchor dismissal for touches on the anchor.
- updateAndroidWindowManagerFlags was added to PopupProperties, offering low-level control over the flags passed by the popup to the Android WindowManager. The parameter of the lambda will be the flags calculated from the PopupProperties values that result in WindowManager flags: e.g. focusable. The result of the lambda will be the final flags which will be passed to the Android WindowManager. By default, updateAndroidWindowManagerFlags will leave the flags calculated from parameters unchanged. This API should be used with caution, only in cases where the popup has very specific behavior requirements. (I6e9f9)
Recomposer.state
has been deprecated and replaced byRecomposer.currentState
to change its type to a StateFlow (Ic2ab3, b/197773820)- Added
flush()
anddispose()
toInjectionScope
. Use them when you want to flush all queued up events immediately and when you want to dispose of the scope, respectively. (Ifb73a) - Added
performScrollToNode(matcher: SemanticsMatcher)
that scrolls a scrollable container to the content that is matched by the given matcher. (Ic1cb8) InjectionScope
now implementsDensity
, allowing you to easily convert between px and dp inperformTouchInput
and friends. (I8fe1f)
Bug Fixes
- AndroidView now propagates LocalLifecycleOwner and LocalSavedStateRegistryOwner to its view via ViewTreeLifecycleOwner and ViewTreeSavedStateRegistryOwner. (I38f96, b/179708470)
- Fix WearOS SwipeToDismissBox sometimes not handling swipes. (I9387e)
- The default time between injected input events has been changed from 10ms to 16ms. This potentially changes the outcome of tests that perform input gestures, like a specific swipe. (I829fd)
Version 1.1.0-alpha05
September 29, 2021
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.1.0-alpha05
is released. Version 1.1.0-alpha05 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Added support for inter-modifier communication (Id5467, b/198826874)
- Added experimental historical pointers to PointerEventChange. (Ic1fd8, b/197553056, b/199921305)
- Added
density: Density
andlayoutDirection: LayoutDirection
toLayoutInfo
. This allows consumers ofLayoutInfo
to interpret the dimensions and position exposed inLayoutInfo
properly. (I002f1) - Added experimental support for injecting mouse events. Use
performMouseInput
to start sending mouse events, or send mouse events through theMouse
property ofMultiModalInjectionScope
during a multi modal input gesture withperformMultiModalInput
. SeeMouseInjectionScope
for documentation of the available API. (Iaa4a8, b/190493367)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed accessibility support for scrollables (both lazy and non-lazy) with respect to scrolling (I6cdb0)
- Improved
TouchInjectionScope.swipeWithVelocity
. It now accepts a wider range of input variables and will suggest changes to the input if a swipe can't be created (I40fbe, b/182477143)
Version 1.1.0-alpha04
September 15, 2021
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.1.0-alpha04
is released. Version 1.1.0-alpha04 contains these commits.
API Changes
PointerEvent
now has aPointerEventType
to support hover events. (I091fa)- Allow children to accept pointer input outside of parent's pointer input bounds. Parents may intercept those calls with a property PointerInputScope.alwaysInterceptChildEvents (I9eae3, b/192479655)
- Deprecated
performGesture
andGestureScope
, which have been replaced byperformTouchInput
andTouchInjectionScope
. (Ia5f3f, b/190493367) - Added
touchBoundsInRoot
toSemanticsNode
that includes the minimum touch target size so that developers can ensure that touch targets meet accessibility minimums. (I2e14b, b/197751214) - Redo implementation of inspectable (I927bc, b/191017532)
- Changed parameter name of inspectable to match composed (I3a482, b/191017532)
Introduced
performTouchInput
andTouchInjectionScope
as a replacement forperformTouchInput
andTouchInjectionScope
, paving the way for other modalities (like mouse).TouchInjectionScope
has the same methods asGestureScope
, with the exception ofmovePointerTo
andmovePointerBy
, which have been renamed toupdatePointerTo
andupdatePointerBy
. All other methods are the same.The behavior of
TouchInjectionScope
is almost identical toGestureScope
, with two small details:- When sending a down event while pointers had been moved without
sending a move event (in other words,
updatePointerTo()
has been used, but notmove()
, and thendown()
is called), the previous implementation would advance the event time and send a move event before sending the down event. The new implementation still sends the move event, but doesn't advance the event time in this specific scenario. - When sending an up event while pointers had been moved without sending a move event (similar as above), the previous implementation would advance the event time and send a move event before sending the up event. The new implementation does neither: the new positions of the pointers will only be reflected through the up event.
Finally,
TouchInjectionScope
introduces a new methodcurrentPosition(pointerId: Int)
to get the current position of the given pointer. (If1191, b/190493367)- When sending a down event while pointers had been moved without
sending a move event (in other words,
Bug Fixes
- Allow clip to extend touch target bounds beyond the clip region for minimum touch target purposes. (I43e10, b/171509422)
- Support for stretch overscroll has been added on Android 12 devices. (Iccf3c, b/171682480)

New Features
- Updated Compose
1.1.0-alpha03
to depend on Kotlin1.5.30
. (I74545)
API Changes
- Added
Modifier.inspectable
for wrapping other modifiers. (I1909b, b/191017532) - Added
BlurredEdgeTreatment
API to simplify blur use cases into more commonly used combinations of clip flags and TileModes. Most use cases involve either letting blurred content render outside the original content bounds and blurring regions outside these bounds with transparent black, or clipping content to content bounds sampling the closest edge for blur kernels that extend beyond content bounds. (I6b4b7, b/166927547) - Added support for RenderEffect in compose desktop. Introduced OffsetEffect as well as the blur modifier as a simple way to introduce blur visual effects to a portion of the composition hierarchy. (I0f6aa, b/166927547)
- Introduced RenderEffect API
that can be optionally configured on
a
Modifier.graphicsLayer
to alter the contents of the layer itself. This can be used to blur contents of a composable and child composables within a composition hierarchy. (I47c4d, b/166927547) - AwaitPointerEventScope now has withTimeout() and withTimeoutOrNull() (I507f0, b/179239764, b/182397793)
- Added minimum touch target size to ViewConfiguration for use in semantics and pointer input to ensure accessibility. (Ie861c)
- Add TileMode.Decal support which is useful in defining edge behavior for blur based RenderEffects. (I7e8ed, b/166927547)
performScrollToIndex
,performScrollToKey
,hasScrollToIndexAction
andhasScrollToKeyAction
are now stable API (I142ae, b/178483889)- Added test method to get the clipped bounds. (I6b28e)
Bug Fixes
- Removed isBounded method from BlurredEdgeTreatment in favor of explicitly checking if the shape parameter is null. (I85d68)
Version 1.1.0-alpha02
August 18, 2021
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.1.0-alpha02
is released. Version 1.1.0-alpha02 contains these commits.
API Changes
- PointerEvent now has support for reading mouse button state and keyboard modifier state. (I6310c, b/180075467)
- Injected gestures now use the MainTestClock's time as the
source of truth for time. The current time for injected events in
performGesture
will be initialized to the current time of the MainTestClock. (Ifb364, b/192064452) - Added
DpRect(DpOffset, DpSize)
constructor (I2cf16, b/194219828) - Added DpSize class (I7abb1, b/194219828)
Bug Fixes
- Updated Vector graphics xml parsing to support ColorStateLists as root color tint properties on VectorDrawables. (I86915, b/195668138)
Version 1.1.0-alpha01
August 4, 2021
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.1.0-alpha01
is released. Version 1.1.0-alpha01 contains these commits.
API Changes
RelocationRequester.bringIntoView
now accepts a rectangle as a parameter which enables us to bring a part of a composable into view (Ice2c5, b/194330245)AnimatedImageVector
and the related APIs are now in the newandroidx.compose.animation:animation-graphics
module. (I60873)- Added experimental modifier to handle relocation requests. (I65a97, b/178211874)
Introduced BrushPainter API to support drawing of an arbitrary Brush within a Painter, similar to ColorPainter
Updated Brush API to have an intrinsic size parameter that is queried within BrushPainter (Ia2752, b/189466433)
Updated DrawScope#drawImage method that consumes source and destination rects to consume an optional FilterQuality parameter. This is useful for pixel art that is intended to be pixelated when scaled up for pixel based art. Updated BitmapPainter + Image composable to also consume an optional FilterQuality parameter (Ie4fb0, b/180311607)
Added
GestureScope.advanceEventTime
method to give more control over the timing of events in a gesture (Ibf3e2)
Bug Fixes
- In order to better support chaining of
draw modifiers, make sure the Modifier.paint implementation
calls drawsContent.
Previously Modifier.paint was expected to a leaf node in
the chain of Modifiers, however, by doing so it prevents
it from being configured on a composable container (ex. box)
or adding additional decorations on top such as
Modifier.paint().border()
. By having Modifier.paint call drawContent after drawing the contents of the given painter, we have better behavior consistency in behavior with the modifier pattern. (Ibb2a7, b/178201337, b/186213275) - Dialogs now follow the platform sizing behaviour. Set
usePlatformDefaultWidth
to false to override this behaviour. (Iffaed, b/192682388) - Moved
InfiniteAnimationPolicy
to :compose:ui (I5eb09, b/160602714) - Scrolling via semantics actions for lazy lists and regular scrolling components is now animated (Id9066, b/190742024)

is released. Version 1.0.0-beta09 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Change enum Role and LiveRegionMode into inline classes with private constructor (Id1890)
- KeyboardCapitalization is converted into an inline class. (Id5a1c)
- Change HapticFeedbackType to inline class. (I255ec)
- Modifier.pointerInteropFilter is @ExperimentalComposeUiApi. (Iede6c)
- TextAlign, FontSynthesis and TextDirection are now inline classes. (I212fe)
- TextOverflow is changed to an inline class. (I433af)
- FontStyle is now an inline class. (I9e48b)
Bug Fixes
- Key constants are @ExperimentalComposeUiApi for now. Consuming code can declare private constants prior to stabilization. (Ia5d48)
- Compose tests can now be run on Robolectric. The following
limitations have so far been identified:
- There is no native bitmap, so
ImageBitmap()
leads to a NullPointerException. - There is no drawing, so
captureToImage()
will indefinitely await the next draw pass (i.e. it deadlocks). - There is no font loaded, so any text will be measured incorrectly. All characters have a fixed height of around 20px and width of 1px.
ComposeTestRule.waitUntil {}
does not run the main thread while it’s waiting, making it effectively the same asComposeTestRule.mainClock.advanceTimeUntil {}
More limitations are expected to be identified in the future. (I284fa)
- There is no native bitmap, so
Added Profile Rules
This release adds profile rules to the following compose modules (I14ed6):
- androidx.compose.animation
- androidx.compose.animation-core
- androidx.compose.foundation
- androidx.compose.foundation-layout
- androidx.compose.material
- androidx.compose.material-ripple
- androidx.compose.runtime
- androidx.compose.ui
- androidx.compose.ui.geometry
- androidx.compose.ui.graphics
- androidx.compose.ui.text
- androidx.compose.ui.text
- androidx.compose.ui.unit
- androidx.compose.ui.util
What are profile rules?
Profile rules for a library are specified in a text file
baseline-prof.txt
located in thesrc/main
or equivalent directory. The file specifies a rule per line, where a rule in this case is a pattern for matching to methods or classes in the library. The syntax for these rules is a superset of the human-readable ART profile format that is used when usingadb shell profman --dump-classes-and-methods ...
. These rules take one of two forms to target either methods or classes.A method rule will have the following pattern:
<FLAGS><CLASS_DESCRIPTOR>-><METHOD_SIGNATURE>
And a class rule will have the following pattern:
<CLASS_DESCRIPTOR>
Here
<FLAGS>
is one or more of the charactersH
,S
, andP
to indicate whether or not this method should be flagged as "Hot", "Startup", or "Post Startup".The
<CLASS_DESCRIPTOR>
is the descriptor for the class that the targeted method belongs to. For example, the classandroidx.compose.runtime.SlotTable
would have a descriptor ofLandroidx/compose/runtime/SlotTable;
.The
<METHOD_SIGNATURE>
is the signature of the method, and includes the name, parameter types, and return types of the method. For example, the methodfun isPlaced(): Boolean
onLayoutNode
has the signatureisPlaced()Z
.These patterns can have wildcards (
**
,*
, and?
) in order to have a single rule encompass multiple methods or classes.
What do the rules do?
A method that has the flag
H
indicates that this method is a "hot" method, and should be compiled ahead of time.A method that has the flag
S
indicates that it is a method which is called at startup, and should be compiled ahead of time to avoid the cost of compilation and interpreting the method at startup time.A method that has the flag
P
indicates that it is a method which is called after startup.A class that is present in this file indicates that it is used during startup and should be pre-allocated in the heap to avoid the cost of class loading.
How does this work?
- Libraries can define these rules which will be packaged in AAR artifacts. When an app is then built which includes these artifacts, these rules are merged together and the merged rules are used to build a compact binary ART profile that is specific to the app. ART can then leverage this profile when the app is installed on devices in order to ahead-of-time compile a specific subset of the application to improve the performance of the application, especially the first run. Note that this will have no effect on debuggable applications.
Version 1.0.0-beta08
June 2, 2021
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.0.0-beta08
is released. Version 1.0.0-beta08 contains these commits.
API Changes
NestedScrollSource
enum is replaced by an inline class. (Ie321b, b/187055290)FocusManager.clearFocus(forcedClear = true)
is renamed toFocusManager.clearFocus(force = true)
(Ia0c41)- Refactored enum usages to inline classes to avoid issues with exhaustive when statements when new enum values are added. (I2b5eb)
- Remove
@ExperimentalComposeUiApi
fromPopupProperties
. (I01fa6) PointerType
was changed from an enum to an inline class (If5058)- ContentDescription and Text semantics properties are no longer single values but lists. This enables to merge them as they are instead of concatenations. Also provided better testing APIs to utilize these changes (Ica6bf, b/184825850)
Modifier.focusModifier()
is deprecated and replaced byModifier.focusTarget()
(I6c860)Modifier.onSizeChanged()
andModifier.onGloballyPositioned()
are not inlined functions anymore (I727f6, b/186109675)KeyboardType
enum is replaced by an inline class. (I73045, b/187055290)- Replaced
FocusState
enum with aFocusState
interface (Iccc1a, b/187055290) - ImeAction enum is replaced by an inline class. (I18be5, b/187055290)
PlaceholderVerticalAlign
is converted into an inline class. (If6290)- TextUnitType is an inline class now. (I4cba9)
AnnotatedString.withAnnotation
functions are now ExperimentalTextApi instead of ExperimentalComposeApi. (I0cd0a)- TextUnit constructor with TextUnitType is now ExperimentalTextApi instead of ExperimentalComposeApi.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the bug introduced in beta07 where LazyColumn/Row items were displayed partially after the scroll (I8c9ac, b/188566058)
- Now
detectDragGesures
,detectVerticalGestures
, anddetectHorizontalGestures
will consume the position change automatically, no need to call change.consumePositionChange in the onDrag callbacks (I42fc4, b/185096350, b/187320697) - LayoutModifiers providing alignment lines was fixed. A bug causing the parent not being remeasured when the alignment lines of the children were changing was fixed. (I4401f, b/174315652)
Modifier.onGloballyPositioned()
was changed to report the coordinates of this modifier in the modifier chain, not the layout coordinates after applying all the modifiers. This means that now the ordering of modifiers is affecting what coordinates would be reported. (Ieb67d, b/177926591)
Version 1.0.0-beta07
May 18, 2021
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.0.0-beta07
is released. Version 1.0.0-beta07 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Added
ViewRootForInspector
interface for use in inspector (Ib70df) SubcomposeLayoutState
now supports setting count of reusable slots. The layout will keep up to this count slots active instead of disposing them in order to reuse the slot next time we need a new one (Ieb981)- KeyEventType enum is replaced by an inline class. (Id670a, b/187055290)
FocusDirection
enum is replaced by an inline class. (Ib6d03, b/187055290, b/184086802)- Introduces ability to hoist the SubcomposeLayout state which allows you to precompose the content into a requires slotId which would make the next measure pass faster as once we try to subcompose with the given slotId next time there will be no composition needed. (I42580, b/184940225)
- Added Clip Selection Handle (Iff80d, b/183408447)
- Removed unused APIs related to LayoutInspector support. (I2ac78)
Bug Fixes
- LazyColumn/Row will now keep up to 2 previously visible items active (not disposed) even when they are scrolled out already. This allows the component to reuse the active subcompositions when we will need to compose a new item which improves the scrolling performance. (Ie5555)
TextGeomerticTransform
andTextDecoration
onAnnotatedString
will be applied as given. (I61900, b/184760917)

Bug Fixes
- Fixed
ACTION_SCROLL_FORWARD
,ACTION_SCROLL_BACKWARD
,accessibilityActionScrollLeft
,accessibilityActionScrollUp

when theAndroidViewBinding
is removed from the compose hierarchy. (Ib0248, b/179915946)AndroidViewBinding
now correctly nests fragments inflated viaFragmentContainerView
when yourComposeView
is within aFragment
, fixing issues with saving and restoring the state of those fragments. (I70eb0, b/179915946)- Compose ViewBinding now depends on
Fragment
1.3.2
and now consistently shows fragments inflated viaFragmentContainerView
after configuration changes. (I0743d, b/179915946)
Version 1.0.0-beta03

(I2f502)
Bug Fixes
- Enforce restrictions on public usage of experimental APIs (I6aa29, b/174531520)
androidx.compose.ui:ui
no longer depends on AppCompat or Fragment. If you are using a ComposeView in your application, and you are using Fragment and/or AppCompat, make sure that you are using AppCompat 1.3+ / Fragment 1.3+ - these versions are needed to correctly set lifecycle and saved state owners required for ComposeView. (I1d6fa, b/161814404)- Fix for broken
rememberSaveable { mutableStateOf(0) }
when used inside a destination of navigation-compose. (I1312b, b/180042685, b/180701630) - Added new
LocalSoftwareKeyboardController

Version 1.0.0-beta01
February 24, 2021
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.0.0-beta01
is released. Version 1.0.0-beta01 contains these commits.
This is the first release of Compose 1.0.0 Beta.
API Changes
- onStart callback has been added to
detectDragGestures
(I67269, b/179995594) - Modifiers for sizing to intrinsics are no longer experimental. (I15744)
- MeasureBlocks was renamed to MeasurePolicy which became a fun interface. Layout APIs were updated / simplified to use MeasurePolicy. (Icab48, b/167662468, b/156751158)
InteractionState
has been replaced with[Mutable]InteractionSource
- Interfaces are responsible for emitting / collecting Interaction events.
- Instead of passing
interactionState = remember { InteractionState() }
to components such asButton
andModifier.clickable()
, useinteractionSource = remember { MutableInteractionSource() }
. - Instead of:
Interaction.Pressed in interactionState
you should instead use the extension functions on InteractionSource, such as InteractionSource.collectIsPressedAsState(). - For complex use cases you can use InteractionSource.interactions to observe the stream of Interactions. See the InteractionSource documentation and samples for more information.
- (I85965, b/152525426, b/171913923, b/171710801, b/174852378)
- Add AccessibilityMananger interface and LocalAccessibilityMananger in CompositionLocals (I53520)
- Removed deprecated LayoutCoordinates methods, use function instead of the property for positionInParent and boundsInParent (I580ed, b/169874631, b/175142755)
- Typealiases replaced by underlying types:
ColorStop
is nowPair<Float, Color>
SpanStyleRange
is now `AnnotatedString.RangeParagraphStyleRange
is nowAnnotatedString.Range<ParagraphStyle>
StringAnnotation
is nowAnnotatedString.Range<String>
- (I8dd1a)
- Created new TextInputSession for input sessions from low level text components such as CoreTextField. (I8817f, b/177662148)
- Placeable now exposes measuredSize, representing the size which the child layout actually measured to. This size might not respect the measurement constraints. (Ib2729, b/172560206, b/172338608)
- Add selectionGroup modifier that allows to mark collection of Tabs or RadioButtons for accessibility purposes (Ie5c29)
The
defaultFactory
forcompositionLocalOf
andstaticCompositionLocalOf
is now required instead of optional.This changes removes a potential type error for non-nullable types where no default factory was provided. Previously this would provide a null reference for a non-nullable type.
For nullable types consider supplying
{ null }
as the default factory.We do not recommend using locals with non-nullable types unless a sensible default can be provided. If no sensible default exists, the
defaultFactory
lambda should throw an exception. However throwing an exception means that consumers of the local will have an implicit dependency on it being provided that is not enforced by the type system. (Ifbd2a)Deprecated methods from ui modules were removed (I646f6)
Size modifiers were renamed. Modifier.width/height/size were renamed to requiredWidth/requiredHeight/requiredSize. Modifier.preferredWidth/preferredHeight/preferredSize were renamed to width/height/size. (I5b414)
Modifier.tapGestureFilter
has been removed. UseModifier.pointerInput { detectTapGestures(...) }
instead. (I266ed, b/175294473)partial consumption was removed from pointer input system. The recommended way of coordinating partial consumtion is Modifier.nestedScroll. (Ie9c9b)
Orientation has been moved to foundation package. VelocirtTracker moved from ui.gesture to ui.input.pointer. (Iff4a8, b/175294473)
imageResource and vectorResource are now extension functions on ImageBitmap and ImageVector companions respectively.
load{Image,Vector,Font}Resource
functions have been deleted. (I89130)AnimationClockObservable and subclasses have been removed. AnimatedFloat has been removed. (Icde52, b/177457083)
Providers has been renamed to CompositionLocalProvider
- The Composition constructor no longer accepts a key parameter, and has been deprecated.
- currentCompositeKeyHash has been turned into a composable top level property instead of a composable top level function.
- CompositionData and CompositionGroup have been moved to the androidx.compose.runtime.tooling namespace
- ComposableLambda has been made an interface instead of a concrete class, and no longer has type parameters.
- ComposableLambdaN has been made an interface instead of a concrete class, and no longer has type parameters.
- The snapshotFlow function has been moved to the androidx.compose.runtime namespace
- the merge method of SnapshotMutationPolicy is no longer experimental
- The @TestOnly top level clearRoots function has been removed. It is no longer necessary.
- keySourceInfoOf and resetSourceInfo functions have been removed. They are no longer necessary.
- Composer.collectKeySourceInformation has been removed. It is no longer necessary.
- isJoinedKey, joinedKeyLeft, and joinedKeyRight methods have been removed. They are no longer necessary.
- Various top level APIs have been moved and reorganized into different files. Due to Kotlin’s file class semantics, this will break binary compatibility but not source compatibility, so should not be an issue for most users.
- (I99b7d, b/177245490)
ComponentActivity.setContent()
was removed from compose:ui. Use the one fromandroidx.activity:activity-compose:1.3.0-alpha01
.viewModel()
andLocalViewModelStoreOwner
were removed from compose:ui. Use the ones fromandroidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-compose:1.0.0-alpha01

alwaysShowLabels
parameter in BottomNavigationItem toalwaysShowLabel
. - Renamed
bodyContent
parameters in a few components to justcontent
. - Reordered parameters in
ButtonDefaults.buttonColors()
. Please note that because the type of the parameters have not changed, this will not cause an error in your code - please ensure you are either using named parameters or update the ordering manually, otherwise your code will not work the same as previously. - Added
secondaryVariant
parameter todarkColors()
. This color is typically the same assecondary
in dark theme, but adding for consistency and further customization. - Removed ElevationDefaults and animateElevation() from the public API surface since they were not commonly used / useful.
- Renamed
onValueChangeEnd
inSlider
toonValueChangeFinished
and made it nullable. - Renamed
text

- Bounds has been renamed to DpRect (I4b32a)
- Testing update: hasText() will check for both input and label/hint/placeholder texts in the text field (Iab803)
- viewModel() composable and LocalViewModelStoreOwner were moved to androidx.lifecycle.viewmodel.compose. You will now need to add a separate dependency androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-compose:1.0.0-alpha01 in order to use it. (I7a374)
- Allow nullable action in AccessibilityAction, change action label in AccessibilityAction and CustomAccessibilityAction from CharSequence to String (I0dc82)
- In order to better match naming conventions with ImageBitmap and ImageVector, ImagePainter has been renamed to BitmapPainter to parallel VectorPainter. (Iba381, b/174565889)
- Better substring test APIs with substring now as an argument (Icbe78)
- Added an
Modifier.focusOrder()
that accepts a FocusRequester without specifying a custom focus order a lambda. This is useful when we only need to specify a reference but not a custom focus order for a composable (I4f52a, b/179180978) - ComponentActivity.setContent has moved to androidx.activity.compose.setContent in the androidx.activity:activity-compose module. (Icf416)

- Added EditableText semantics to mark editable input text of the text field for accessibility and corresponding test methods to check the semantics (I8e07a)
- Made OwnerLayer/OwnerScope/OwnerSnapshotObserver internal (I4ffaf, b/175103944)
- toIntPx() was renamed to roundToPx(). (I9b7e4, b/173502290)

- Added expand and collapse semantics actions. Added expand and halfExpand in ModalBottomSheetState (Ib5064)
- Modifier.dragGestureFilter has been deprecated. Use
Modifier.pointerInput { detectDragGestures (...)}
instead. Alternatively, use Modifier.draggable for one axis drags (I0ba93, b/175294473) - Renamed Ambients to match the Ambient -> CompositionLocal rename. Ambients used to be named AmbientFoo, now CompositionLocals are named LocalFoo. (I2d55d)
- The deprecated BaseTextField is now removed. Use BasicTextField instead. (I71368)
- Selection was moved to foundation. (I7892b)
- Similarly to how we previously removed
state { 0 }
composable and now promote usage likeremember { mutableStateOf(0) }
we are going to removesavedInstanceState { 0 }
composable. You should userememberSaveable { mutableStateOf(0) }
instead and it will save and restore automatically if the type used inside the MutableState can be stored in the Bundle. If previously you were passing a custom saver object now you need to use a new overload of rememberSaveable which hasstateSaver
parameter. The usage will look like this:val holder = rememberSaveable(stateSaver = HolderSaver) { mutableStateOf(Holder(0)) }
(Ib4c26, b/177338004) - Added password semantics for accessibility (I231ce)
- Added ProgressBarRangeInfo.Indeterminate to mark indeterminate progress bars for accessibility (I6fe05)
emptyContent()
and(@Composable () -> Unit).orEmpty()
utilities have been deprecated as they no longer have any positive performance impact or value (I0484d)snapshotFlow
andwithMutableSnapshot
are no longer experimental (I6a45f)- Recomposers can now be closed. Closed recomposers will continue recomposition until composition child coroutines complete. Recomposer.shutDown renamed to cancel to contrast with close. (Ib6d76)
- UiSavedStateRegistry was renamed to SaveableStateRegistry, AmbientUiSavedStateRegistry was renamed to AmbientSaveableStateRegistry and both moved to androidx.compose.runtime.saveable package. (I30224)

- onImeActionPerformed is deprecated. use KeyboardActions instead (If0bbd, b/179071523)
- Introduced an
InfiniteAnimationPolicy
coroutine context element that will be applied in infinite animations. By default no policy is installed, except when running tests withComposeTestRule

- Renamed LayoutCoordinates.parentCoordinates to LayoutCoordinates.parentLayoutCoordinates to allow for a new parentCoordinates property. The parentCoordinates property now offers the parent modifier's LayoutCoordintes. This will make for more complete use cases for onSizeChanged() and onGloballyPositioned() (Idfbfd, b/177926591)
- tapGestureFilter, doubleTapGestureFilter, longPressGestureFilter and pressIndicaitonGestureFilter have been deprecated. Use Modifier.clickable or Modifier.pointerInput with detectTapGestures function instead. (I6baf9, b/175294473)
- SaveableStateRegistry's unregisterProvider was removed. Instead registerProvider() now returns SaveableStateRegistry.Entry object which you can use to unregister (Ic4274, b/178583739)
- rememberSavedInstanceState() was renamed to rememberSaveable() and moved to androidx.compose.runtime.saveable package. (I1366e, b/177338004)
- Removed CoreText and CoreTextField from public API
- Removed deprecated SelectionContainer overload
- (I99c19)
- Tests in which Compose is used in hierarchies that are added/removed directly to the WindowManager are now more stable. (Ie81ed, b/175765614)
- Removed Recomposer.current(). [Abstract]ComposeView now default to lazily created, window-scoped Recomposers driven by the ViewTreeLifecycleOwner for the window. Recomposition and withFrameNanos-based animation ticks are paused while the host Lifecycle is stopped. (I38e11)
- Recomposer.runningRecomposers now offers a global StateFlow of read-only RecomposerInfo for observing ongoing composition state in the process. Prefer this API to Recomposer.current(), which is now deprecated. (If8ebe)
- Saver, listSaver(), mapSaver(), autoSaver was moved from androidx.compose.runtime.savedinstancestate to androidx.compose.runtime.saveable (I77fe6)
- EditCommands accept AnnotatedString. However this is an API only change and multi-style text editing is not implemented yet. (I4c3ea)
- Uptime and Duration have been removed. (Ib9bf4, b/177420019)
- CompositionData.asTree() and related APIs moved to separate ui-tooling-data module and marked as experimental (Ic95b8)
- Parameters on RounderCornerShape, CutCornerShape and CornerBasedShape were renamed from left/right to start/end in order to support the shape's auto mirroring in the rtl direction. AbsoluteRounderCornerShape and AbsoluteCutCornerShape were introduced for the cases when auto-mirroring is not desired. (I61040, b/152756983)
The API the Compose compiler plugin targets has been refactored to use an interface instead of a concrete class. The interface also no longer uses a type parameter.
This is an internal change that should not effect source code compatibility but is a binary breaking change. (I3b922, b/169406779)
Remove unintentionally public StringBuilder.deleteAt function (Id6ed9)
Bug Fixes
- ComposeViews placed in view hierarchies that are children of another composition now host child compositions of their ancestors (I92883)
- Updated compose's imageFromResource API to reuse the resource drawable cache when loading ImageBitmap objects. (If3627, b/178751994)
Version 1.0.0-alpha11

(Id3148)
- Removed PointerInputData and modified PointerInputChange to give it all of PointerInputData's fields. Made PointerInputEvent and PointerInputEventData internal because they aren't used in any public API. (Ifff97, b/175142755)
- Updated GraphicsLayerScope implement density to support conversions of dp into raw pixels. (Ied528, b/176819695)
- Updated matrix API to follow row major ordering and provide index constants to assist with conversions between different matrix representations to match framework conversion logic between SkMatrix and Matrix4 internally. (I432e6)
- Removed experimental monotonicFrameAnimationClockOf methods (Ib753f, b/170708374)
- Move String.fintPrecedingBreak and String.fingFollowingBreak to InternalTextApi. (I657c4)

- TextLayoutResult
- TextLayoutInput (Iaff99)
- Changed VisualTransformation to be a functional interface (I3bba4)
- Added a function reference parameter type (I5e1bd)
- Add transformed bounds to InspectorNode (Ice42f)
Bug Fixes

Changes to factory functions for Font/FontFamily/Typeface
- Added factory functions that start with capital letter
- Deprecated previous factory functions with lowercase first letters
- New factory functions return the FontFamily instead of subclasses
- Hid constructors of the subclasses, so that they can only be constructed via factory functions.
- Renamed Font.asFontFamily to Font.toFontFamily (I42aa7)
Introduced
ComposeContentTestRule
, which extendsComposeTestRule
and definessetContent
, which has been removed fromComposeTestRule
. Added a factory methodcreateEmptyComposeRule()
that returns aComposeTestRule
and does not launch an Activity for you. Use this when you want to launch your Activity during your test, e.g. usingActivityScenario.launch
(I9d782, b/174472899)animateAsState is now animateFooAsState, where Foo is the type of the variable being animated. e.g. Float, Dp, Offset, etc (Ie7e25)
Content description parameter has been added to the Image and Icon. It is used to provide description to the accessibility services (I2ac4c)
Remove displaySize as it should be avoided. Typically it is better to use size of onRoot() or window size at least. (I62db4)
OnSizeChanged was reporting the size of the layout's contents. It now reports the size at its position within the modifier chain. (I36b78, b/177562900)
The emit() API and all overloads have been deprecated and renamed to ComposeNode. The APIs are identical, just a different name in order to follow the naming conventions of Compose (I4137b)
TextFieldValue accepts AnnotatedString. However this is an API only change and multi-style text editing is not implemented yet.
- Removed
initial
from EditingBuffer constructor parameters. (I326d5)
- Removed
invalidate and compositionReference() are now deprecated in favor of currentRecomposeScope and rememberCompositionReference respectively. (I583a8)
AnnotatedString is changed to extend from kotlin.CharSequence. Therefore length and subSequence are now instance functions, and extension functions are removed. (Iaf429)
RememberObserver replaces CompositionLifecycleObserver and CompositionLifecycleObserver is now deprecated.
RememberObserver
is a replacement forCompositionLifecycleObserver
with modified semantics and renamed methods. Changing to the new API can be done mechanically for objects that are only remembered once which is, and continues to be, the recommended practice. However, if a reference was remembered more than once in a compositiononRemembered
is called for each reference whereonEnter
is only called once.onEnter
was called multiple time if the object was used in subcompositions, such asWithConstraints
andScaffold
making the singleonEnter
call guarantee unreliable and it was removed forRememberObserver
.RememberObserver
addsonAbandoned
which is called if theRememberObserver
instance is returned from the callback passed toremember
but was not remembered in the composition state and, therefore, will never haveonRemembered
called. This can occur if an exception terminates composition before completing or the composition is discarded because the state is was producing a composition for is no longer current or otherwise is no longer needed. If the instance ofRememberObserver
following the single reference recommendation above is tracking an external resource bothonForgotten
andonAbandoned
each indicate that the resource is no longer needed. If the object is tracking work started or resources allocated inonRemembered
,onAbandoned
can be ignored as it will not be called ifonRemembered
is called. (I02c36)Deprecated arithmetic operations between 2 or more TextUnits. Deprecated TextUnit.Sp and TextUnit.Em functions in preference to the extension functions such as Int.sp and Int.em. (I48369)
Resources in libraries with no explicitly declared public resources (ex. via public.xml) are now private by default. (Ia1dcc, b/170882230)
ScrollableColumn/Row were deprecated. Using ScrollableColumn is less efficient compared to LazyColumn when you have a large scrolling content because with LazyColumn we can only compose/measure/draw visible elements. To prevent users from going the inefficient way we decided to deprecate ScrollableColumn and ScrollableRow and promote usages of LazyColumn and LazyRow instead. Users can still decide they don't need the lazy behaviour and use the modifiers directly like this: Column(Modifier.verticalScroll(rememberScrollState())) (Ib976b, b/170468083)
New
items(count: Int)
factory method for scope of LazyColumn/LazyRow/LazyVerticalGrid.items(items: List)
anditemsIndexed(items: List)
are now extension functions so you have to manually import them when used. New extension overloads for Arrays:items(items: Array)
anditemsIndexed(Array)
(I803fc, b/175562574)Please use ImeAction.None instead of ImeAction.NoAction
- Please use ImeAction.Default instead of ImeAction.Unspecified (Ie1bcc)
Leverage TestCoroutineDispatcher in testing (I532b6)
Renamed TextInputService.onStateUpdated as updateState (Id4853)
TransitionDefinition-based Transition has been deprecated (I0ac57)
TextUnitType.Inherit is removed. Please use TextUnitType.Unspecified instead. (I9ff64)
Version 1.0.0-alpha10
January 13, 2021
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.0.0-alpha10
is released. Version 1.0.0-alpha10 contains these commits.
Breaking Change
Restructuring of the internal compiler API allows batching changes to the nodes generated as a result of composition into the "apply changes" phase of composition, after all
@Composable
functions have completed.This is a behavioral breaking change that might affect application code as nodes are no longer available from internal and experimental APIs until after changes have been applied. This can usually be worked around by surrounding code with such dependencies in a
SideEffect
composable to defer execution of the code until after the nodes have been created and initialized. (I018da)
API Changes

ImeOptions and KeyboardOptions are no more a data class (I3c898, b/168684531)
VisualTransformation API Changes
- Renamed OffsetMap to OffsetMapping
- Renamed OffsetMapping.identityOffsetMap to OffsetMapping.Identity
- PasswordTransformation is no longer data-class
- Moved OffsetMapping to its own file
- (I0bdf3)
Renamed Position to DpOffset and removed getDistance() (Ib2dfd)
Changed fun Dp.isFinite() to a val Dp.isFinite (I50e00)
Bug Fixes
- Recomposer now exposes a Flow of its current state, allowing monitoring its activity and the activity of associated effects. (Ifb2b9)
- The native keyEvent can now be accessed through keyEvent.nativeKeyEvent (I87c57, b/173086397)
animate()
is now replaced withanimateAsState()
, which returns aState<T>
instead ofT
. This allows better performance, as the invalidation scope can be narrowed down to where the State value is read. (Ib179e)- Add Semantics role API and add Role as a parameter to clickable, selectable and toggleable SemanticsModifier. Changed Modifier.progressSemantics so that Slider can also use it. (I216cd)

- subcomposeInto(LayoutNode) was made internal (Id724a)
The
Applier
interface has changed to simplify building trees bottom-up instead of top-down.The
insert()
method has been renamed toinsertTopDown()
.A new method,
insertBottomUp()
, was added.An applier either inserts nodes into the tree it is editing using
insertTopDown()
orinsertBottomUp()
depending on which performs better.Some trees, such as
LayoutNode
andView
, are much more efficient to build bottom-up than top-down. Prior to this change, a stack of inserts was required to implement bottom-up which needed to be copied to every applier which needed bottom-up construction for performance. With this change anApplier
overridesinsertBottomUp()
to build a tree bottom-up andinsertTopDown()
to build the tree top-down. (Icbdc2)Added dismissOnBackPress and dismissOnClickOutside properties to AndroidDialogProperties. These allow configuring when the dialog's onDismissRequest lambda will be invoked. (If5e17)
Added painterResource API to handle opaquely loading Painter objects from either rasterized asset formats (like PNGs) or VectorDrawables. Consumers no longer have to determine the type of asset in advance and can call this method to get a Painter object to use in Image composables or painter modifiers. (I2c703, b/173818471)
Added Modifier.clearAndSetSemantics to clear descendants' semantics and set new ones. (I277ca)
Moved ContentDrawScope to ui-graphics module to be with DrawScope. (Iee043, b/173832789)
Introduced PathEffect graphics API to provide different patterns to stroked shapes. Deprecated usage of NativePathEffect in favor of expect/actual implementation of PathEffect. (I5e976, b/171072166)
Added IdlingResource interfaces to Compose, as a Compose supported variant of Espresso's idling resources. They can be registered and unregistered through the ComposeTestRule (I433f3)
Removed global (un)registration of ComposeIdlingResource and global (un)registration of clocks into ComposeIdlingResource (I32660)
Bug Fixes
- Lambdas in offset modifiers now return IntOffset rather than Float. (Ic9ee5, b/174137212, b/174146755)
Removed SlotTable, SlotReader and SlotWriter from the public API. These were marked as InternalComposeAPI previously. Now they are internal to the compose module.
CompositionData and CompositionGroup were added as a replacement for the ui-tooling API to use to extract composition information. These are public but are not intended for use outside the ui-tooling API as they provide the raw information the ui-tooling API interprets (I31a9c)
Refactored ShaderBrush to lazily create a shader instance when sizing information of the drawing environment is available. This is useful to define gradients that occupy the full drawing bounds of a composable at composition time, without having to implement custom DrawModifier implementations.
Deprecated gradient function constructor APIs in favor of factory methods on a Gradient object. (I511fc, b/173066799)
Deprecate LazyColumnFor, LazyRowFor, LazyColumnForIndexed and LazyRowForIndexed. Use LazyColumn and LazyRow instead (I5b48c)
Deprecated BuildCompat.isAtLeastR (Idb37e)
Added buildAnnotatedString factory function in order to build an AnnotatedString. Deprecated annotatedString builder function. (Idfe0b)
Removed extension methods on Float and Double to convert values to radians. Moved to be a private function within the implementation PathParser which was the only place where it was used (I25f52)
Version 1.0.0-alpha08
December 2, 2020

- Renamed Modifier.drawLayer to Modifier.graphicsLayer Also updated related classes to GraphicsLayer as per API feedback. (I0bd29, b/173834241)
- New methods placeable.placeWithLayer() and placeable.placeRelativeWithLayer() were added which allows custom layouts and layout modifiers to place a child with introducing a graphics layer for their drawing. Having that we can first optimize redrawings, so when we need to move a child we don't have to redraw its content, second we can apply draw transformations for a child (Ibd8f6, b/170296989, b/171493718, b/173030831)
<T>
was removed from SubcomposeLayout declaration. You can use it without specifying a type now. (Ib60c8)- Added Modifier.scale/rotate

to have destructuring syntax to return
pivotFractionX
andpivotFractionY
ascomponent1
andcomponent2
(If43c4, b/173586560) - Added lint check for composable lambda parameter naming and position, to check for consistency with Compose guidelines.
Also migrated some APIs using
children
as the name for their trailing lambda tocontent
, according to the lint check and guidance. (Iec48e) - Added API to check if Alt, Ctrl, Meta or Shift modifier keys were pressed when a keyevent was dispatched. (I50ed9)
- Added a new
Modifier.drawLayer()
overload. It takes a lambda block on a new GraphicsLayerScope where you define the layer parameters in a way which allows to skip recomposition and relayout when the state change happens. DrawLayerModifier is now internal in preparation to migrating its logic into placeable.placeWithLayer() method of LayoutModifier (I15e9f, b/173030831) - Deprecated Ambients named with
Ambient
as their suffix, and replaced them with new properties prefixed with Ambient, following other Ambients and Compose API guidelines. (I33440) - Moved

- Renamed ImageAsset and related methods to ImageBitmap. (Ia2d99)
- Add zIndex param for the PlacementScope's place() so Modifier.zIndex() now works as a LayoutModifier and any custom layout can set zIndexes for their children right in the placement block (I711f7, b/171493718)
- Moved foundation semantics properties to ui (I6f05c)
- Deprecate place(Offset) and placeRelative(Offset). Use overloads with int offsets instead (I4c5e7)
- Previously Deprecated APIs were removed: Modifier.onPositioned was removed, use Modifier.onGloballyPositioned. Modifier.onDraw was removed, use Modifier.onDrawBehind. Modifier.plus was removed, use Modifier.then. Color.Unset was removed, use Color.Unspecified. PxBounds class was removed, use Rect instead. (Ie9d02, b/172562222)
- The Alignment interface was updated and made functional. (I46a07, b/172311734)
- Gesture detector for tap, double-tap, long press, and press indication were added using the new suspending pointer input. A few utilities were added as well, making it easier for developers to write their own gesture detectors. (I00807)
id
was renamed tolayoutId
forLayoutIdParentData
.Measurable.id
was renamed toMeasurable.layoutId
. (Iadbcb, b/172449643)- New multitouch gesture detector, including helpers for detecting rotation, zoom, and panning. (Ic459d)
- Introduced SweepGradientShader and SweepGradientBrush APIs. (Ia22c1)
- Time control in tests (TestAnimationClock and its usages) is now experimental (I6ef86, b/171378521)
Add coroutine-based scrolling APIs:
Adds LazyListState.snapToItem and LazyListState.smoothScrollBy, as well as lower-level APIs for scroll control. These APIs provide a suspend interface to control scrolling that waits until the scroll is finished before returning. (Ie5642)
Modifier.focusable has need added in foundation. Use this to add focusable behavior to a component, with correct semantics and accessibility. (I41eb9, b/152525426, b/162865824)
Provide default implementations of methods and properties in AnimationClockTestRule that can be delegated to its
clock
(I7ea3d, b/173399709)AndroidComposeTestRule can now accept custom activity launchers (Ib8288, b/153623653, b/154135019)
TextLayoutResult.getLineVisibleEnd is deprecated. As a replacement TextLayoutResult.getLineEnd now has a new parameter visibleEnd. (I73282)
Updated TextFieldValue API
- made TextFieldValue.composition readonly
- removed exception thrown for invalid selection range (I4a675, b/172239032)
Support TtsAnnotation for text to speech engine. (I54cc6)
New APIs for running animations in coroutines (Ied662)
Bug Fixes
- The alignment parameter of Box was renamed to contentAlignment. (I2c957)
- offsetPx modifiers were renamed to offset. They are now taking lambda parameters instead of State. (Ic3021, b/173594846)
- Added resetInput parameter to TextInputService#onStateUpdated (I3e8f5, b/172239032, b/171860947)

Typeface via
typeface
function i.e.typeface(Typeface.DEFAULT)
. Also renamedtypefaceFromFontFamily()
totypeface()
(I52ab7) - Added lint check to check that Modifier factory functions are defined as extensions on Modifier, so they can be fluently chained together. (I07981)
- Remove old ui-test module and its stubs (I3a7cb)
- Recomposer no longer accepts an EmbeddingContext; required scheduling dependencies are obtained from the effectCoroutineContext. FrameManager is deprecated; platform integrations should initialize their own global snapshot handling. (I02369)
- Pass style information to accessibility node. (If5e8d)
- TextUnit.Inherit is renamed to TextUnit.Unspecified for consistency with other units. (Ifce19)

Version 1.0.0-alpha06
October 28, 2020
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:1.0.0-alpha06
is released. Version 1.0.0-alpha06 contains these commits.
API Changes
- Recomposer is now a CompositionReference and a valid composition parent. Explicit Recomposer is now required in fewer places. (I4036f)
- Deprecate VectorPainter in favor of rememberVectorPainter to better indicate that the composable API internally leverages 'remember' to persist data across compositions. (Ifda43)
- Updated Modifier.drawWithCache API to expose ContentDrawScope as a receiver scope instead of DrawScope in order to provide implementations the ability to re-order drawing commands. This is useful for blending/ tinting use cases in which content pixels must be rendered first in order for the corresponding blend mode algorithm to be applied properly. (Ie7ec8)
- Move SimpleContainer into PopupTestUtils.kt (I78c57)
- ConsumedData is no longer a data class. See https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/1455219 for details (I1737f)
- Fix Rtl Handle Position. (I6e1e0)
- Refactored DrawScope and
ContentDrawScope to be interfaces
instead of abstract classes
- Created CanvasDrawScope implementation of DrawScope
- Refactored implementations of DrawScope to use CanvasScope instead
- Created DrawContext to wrap dependencies for DrawScope
- Removed deprecated methods on DrawScope (I56f5e)
- Breaking change: removed the return value from
PointerInputFilter.onPointerEvent(...)
given that the only value that should be able to be changed in pointer events is consumption data. Instead of returning data fromPointerInputFilter.onPointerEvent(...)
, now you can just mutate the consumption data of the PointerEvents passed in. (I6acd0) - MeasureScope and IntrinsicMeasureScope were made interfaces. (I1a087, b/170461665)
- The merge function for AlignmentLine was hidden. (I9da1a, b/170612900, b/170611568)
- Add ability to specify inspector info in composed modifier (Idee08, b/163494569)
- Added SelectAll option into selection menu (Ief02b)
- Updated DrawTransform.rotate to take
a default pivot parameter of center to match
the documentation.
- Updated DrawScope.rotateRad to consume an Offset for the pivot point to match other transformation methods.
- Deprecated DrawScope.rotateRad overload that consumed floats for the x and y coordinate of the pivot.
- (Iffcbb, b/170434992)
Bug Fixes
- API lint check for MissingGetterMatchingBuilder is enabled for androidx (I4bbea, b/138602561)
- Add test. (I6b8ae)
- Enable transitions in ComposeTestRule; remove option to enable the blinking cursor from ComposeTestRule. (If0de3)

- Added single line keyboard option to CoreTextField (I72e6d)
- Move SimpleContainer into PopupTestUtils.kt (I65c3e)
- Renamed Radius API to CornerRadius to better express how it is used throughout Compose. Updated documentation to indicate that negative corner radii are clamped to zero. (I130c7, b/168762961)
- Improved Android interop by continuing to send MotionEvents to child Android Views that return false for onTouchEvent for all actions except
ACTION_DOWN
(I94c5a, b/170320973) - Box was made an inline function. (Ibce0c, b/155056091)
External Contribution
- Support different locales for
AnnotatedString.capitalize
andAnnotatedString.decapitalize
(I4aa7f)
Version 1.0.0-alpha05
October 14, 2020

Consumption data is now mutable. Also calls to extension functions that do consumption now no longer return a new PointerInputChange, but instead mutate the provided PointerInputChange.
This is the first step in a 2 step process to make PointerEvent data mutable such that other pointer data cannot be edited by user code. The second step will be to remove the
List<PointerInputChange>
return type fromPointerInputFilter.onPointerEvent(...)
. (Id067e)Disable Selection in Text, and a Demo. (Ie7e97)
Made onGloballyPositioned an inline function (I15830)
OnPositionedModifier is renamed to OnGloballyPositionedModifier and onPositioned() is renamed to onGloballyPositioned(). (I587e8, b/169083903)

As part of the standardization of sentinel values for inline classes, rename Color.Unset to Color.Unspecified for consistency with other inline classes (I97611, b/169797763)
TextOverflow.None is introduced. When overflow is None, Text won't handle overflow anymore, and it will report its actual size to LayoutNode. (I175c9, b/158830170)
The scope parameter within AnnotatedString.Builder.addStringAnnotation is renamed to tag for API consistency. (I7c8cb)
Bug Fixes
- The scrolling performance of LazyColumn/Row is improved by doing less work in subcomposition on every scroll. The new hasInvalidations() method was added for Composition class. hasPendingChanges() method from Recomposer was renamed to hasInvalidations() (Ib2f32, b/168293643, b/167972292, b/165028371)
- Updated Size.Unspecified parameters to be Float.NaN instead of Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY. Updated Painter implementations to check against Size.Unspecified as well as non-finite Sizes. (I95a7e)
- The order of place() calls in custom Layouts now defines the drawing order for the children (Ibc9f6)
- Support AnnotatedString to SpannableString conversion for accessibility. (Ief907)
- Added stubs for android classes that are on older platforms to avoid use of reflection when possible. (Ia1790)
- Fixed bug: If the software keyboard showing caused the app to translate, pointer input coordinates would become incorrect. (Ic4cec, b/163077821)

add AccessibilityScrollState to semantics properties. (Ifeda9)
Introduced Modifier.drawWithCache to support creating a drawing object that conditionally recreates dependencies that depend on size/state information (I376dc)
ParagraphConstraints is removed. Width is directly passed to Paragraph now. (Ica712)
Bug Fixes

- Added a destructing API to Radius
- Migrated various RoundRect extension functions to be properties instead
- (I8f5c7, b/168762961)
- foundation.Box was deprecated. Please use foundation.layout.Box instead. (Ie5950, b/167680279)
- Stack was renamed to Box. The previously existing Box will be deprecated in favor of the new Box in compose.foundation.layout. The behavior of the new Box is to stack children one on top of another when it has multiple children - this is different from the previous Box, which was behaving similar to a Column. (I94893, b/167680279)
- Box decoration parameters have been deprecated. If you want to have decorations/padding on your box, use Modifiers instead (Modifier.background, Modifier.border, Modifier.padding) (Ibae92, b/167680279)

- Updated documentation for Rect class
- Updated comments on Rect parameters to match kdoc style
- Removed Rect.join and Rect.expandToInclude
- Created overload for Rect.translate(offset) and deprecated Rect.shift
- (If086a, b/167737376)
- Annotated rootAnimationClockFactory, transitionsEnabled, blinkingCursorEnabled and textInputServiceFactory with @VisibleForTesting, make them internal API and hide their kdoc (I554eb, b/168308412)
- Remove SelectionContainer from the Top to disable default selection and avoid unexpected behavior. One can specifically use a SelectionContainer to wrap the content that needs to be selectable instead. (I8dfe0, b/158459594)

- Removed
onInvalidate()
fromOwner
--OwnedLayer
handles invalidation. (Ica72b, b/162061312) Removed operator methods on Size API that consume Offset parameters. The result of these operations is unclear and the type of result is unexpected for these. Ex. should size - offset return an offset or a size result with the difference?
Also removed deprecated methods on Size class. (Iec902, b/166514214)
Bug Fixes
- Fix for items of LazyColumn being incorrectly drawn sometimes, this was also causing crashes in some conditions. (Ibcf17, b/163066980, b/165921895)
- DpConstraints and APIs using it were deprecated. (I90cdb, b/167389835)
- Moved
createAndroidComposeRule
andAndroidInputDispatcher
fromandroidx.ui.test.android

Removed deprecated companion methods on Rect in favor of function constructors.
Added tests to verify methods in Rect.kt (I08460, b/165822356)
Bug Fixes
- Added MutableRect, a rectangle that can be modified. (I71bd2, b/160140398)
- Matrix4 was replaced with Matrix. All other parts of vectormath package have been removed. (Ibd665, b/160140398)
The calling convention for composable functions has changed. This is a binary breaking change. All libraries must be recompiled to work with this version of the compose compiler plugin.
This change does not create a source level breaking change as the only APIs that have changed are compiler APIs that have an explicit opt in. (I7afd2, b/158123185)
Fixed crash that could occur when dispatch to a PointerInputFilter could cause the PointerInputFilter to be synchronously removed. (I58f25)
Version 1.0.0-alpha01

August 19, 2020
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:0.1.0-dev17
is released. Version 0.1.0-dev17 contains these commits.
API Changes
emitView
was deprecated. UseAndroidView
instead if possible for emitting Views inside Compose. Note that composing Views and ViewGroups directly will not be supported in the future unless these are leaves in the composition tree, case when this can be achieved using AndroidView. (I29b1e, b/163871221)FocusState2
is deprecated and replaced byFocusState
(Ia8b79, b/160822876, b/160923332)- The deprecated AndroidView overloads were removed. (I946b9, b/163802393)
- Custom emits can now declare that one or more of its setters can be skipped and recomposed independently of the emit. (Ibbd13)
Changed Vector classes to no longer be data classes as the same object instance is used for composition.
Added mutableStateOf flag for VectorPainter to conditionally re-draw if contents of the vector change.
Refactored VectorComponent instance to be part of VectorPainter as it is re-used across compositions.
Updated GroupComponent and PathComponent to have their name fields be mutable (Ieae45, b/151378808)
Removed
onChildPositioned
andOnChildPositionedModifier
. Developers should useonPositioned
andOnPositionedModifier
on the child layout instead. (I4522e, b/162109766)Offset has become an inline class (Iaec70)
Added a modifier param to SelectionContainer (I4aada, b/161487952)
Removed deprecated FocusModifier (I0b4ba, b/160922116, b/160821157, b/162441435, b/160822875, b/160921940)
Added
mergePolicy
lambda toSemanticsPropertyKey
. This can be used to define a custom policy for mergeAllDescendants semantics merging. The default policy is to use the parent value if already present, otherwise the child value. (Iaf6c4, b/161979921)Constraints is now an inline class (I88736)
Added FocusManager that moves common focus logic out of AndroidComposeView (I528ef, b/161487952, b/162206799)
Updated PointerEventPass names for Alpha release. (Ifda6f)
IntOffset is now an inline class (Iac0bf)
IntSize is now an inline class (I2bf42)
PlacementScope.placeAbsolute()
was renamed toPlacementScope.place()
, and the previousPlacementScope.place()
was renamed toPlacementScope.placeRelative()
. As a result, thePlacementScope.place()
method will not automatically mirror the position in right-to-left contexts anymore. If this is desired, usePlacementScope.placeRelative()
instead. (I873ac, b/162916675)AlertDialog now uses FlowRow for buttons (I00ec1, b/161809319, b/143682374)
Made some test utilities non public because they are not where they belong. Will be made public in the future. (I32ab1)
Refactored organization of pointer input code. (Ie3f45)
Deprecated PxBounds in favor of Rect. Updated all usages of PxBounds with rect and added proper deprecate/replace with annotations to assist with the migration. (I37038, b/162627058)
Removed Deprecated KeyEvent2. Use KeyEvent instead. (Ied2d0, b/162097587)
KeyEvent has a unicode property that can be used to get the unicode character generated by the specified key and meta key state combination (If3afc)
Made the DelayUp custom event and related classes an opt in API as it is very likely going to be changed. (I56d6f)
Removed 2 PointerEventPasses that are no longer needed. (I3dd9d)
Add parameter color, shadow and TextDecoration to Paragraph.paint This function is useful to avoid unnecessary Paragraph recreation. (I81689)
Bug Fixes
- Removed onFocusChanged callbacks from TextField. Use Modifier.focusObserver instead. (I51089, b/161297615)
- Modifier.drawBorder has been deprecated. Use Modifier.border instead. Border data class has been replaced by BorderStroke (I4257d, b/158160576)
Removed deprecated FrameManager calls.
Internal compose APIs have been changed to reduce the amount of overhead to track state objects such as
mutableStateof()
(I80ba6)VerticalScroller and HorizontalScroller have been removed. Use ScrollableColumn/Row instead. Modifier.drawBackground has been removed. Use Modifier.background (I73b0d, b/163019183)
Crash when something which saves the state was used inside the for loop is fixed. Now having the same key in savedInstanceState() is allowed, api of UiSavedStateRegistry is now adjusted to this new requirement (I4ab76, b/160042650, b/156853976, b/159026663, b/154920561)
The
state { ... }
composable is now deprecated in favor of explicit calls toremember { mutableStateOf(...) }
for clarity. This reduces the overall API surface and number of concepts for state management, and matches theby mutableStateOf()
pattern for class property delegation. (Ia5727)Renamed RRect to RoundRect to better fit compose naming patterns Created similar function constructors to RRect and deprecated RRect function constructors (I5d325)
Version 0.1.0-dev16
August 5, 2020
androidx.compose.ui:ui-*:0.1.0-dev16
is released. Version 0.1.0-dev16 contains these commits.
API Changes
- OnChildPositioned has been deprecated. Use OnPositioned on the child instead. (I87f95, b/162109766)
- setViewContent was deprecated. setContent should be used instead. (I7e497, b/160335130)

- loadVectorResource supports trimPath attributes (I808fe)
- Move dialog to ui (I47fa6)
- Removed 2 PointerEventPasses that are no longer needed. (I33ca7)
- Implemented PointerInteropModifier which provides the ability to receive MotionEvents and interact with Compose as if you are an implementation of an Android View. (Ieb08c)
- Removed the deprecated tag modifier. Please use layoutId instead. (Idaa05, b/162023919)
- The APIs for right-to-left support has been updated. LayoutDirectionAmbient has been added, which can be used to read and change the layout direction. Modifier.rtl and Modifier.ltr have been removed. (I080b3)
- Support path trimming in vector graphics (Ie16c9, b/158188351)
- Added Modifier.layout() that allows to create a custom layout modifier conveniently (I73b69, b/161355194)
- Added a new AndroidView API and deprecated the existing ones. (I5bcfd)
- Modifier.plus has been deprecated, use Modifier.then instead. 'Then' has a stronger signal of ordering, while also prohibits to type
Modifier.padding().background() + anotherModifier
, which breaks the chain and harder to read (Iedd58, b/161529964) - Add [Abstract]ComposeView View subclasses for hosting Compose content in a View hierarchy. (I46357)
Row
andColumn
are now inline function significantly reducing the overhead of using them. (I75c10)- SubcomposeLayout is added. It is a low level primitive which allows to compose the children during the measuring if we want to use some values available only later during the measure for the subtree composition. For example WithConstraints is not implemented using SubcomposeLayout. (I25cc8)
- Added
SemanticsNode.positionInRoot
to get the position of a SemanticsNode relative to the root of the Compose hierarchy (Icdf26, b/161336532) - MotionEvents passed all the way through from Android, into Compose, and back into Android. (I14be8, b/158034713)
- Removed dropdownPopup. (I00430)
- Fixed popup position on cut-out displays. (Idd7dd)
- Add accessibility action to get TextLayoutResult (I9d6e6)
- RemeasurementModifier added. it allows to synchronously remeasure the layout. In general you never need it as remeasure/relayout is happening automatically, but we use it inside LazyColumnItems during the scroll. (I5f331, b/160791058)
- Remove getLineEllipsisOffset/getLineEllipsisCount. Use getLineVisibleEnd/getLineEnd/isLineEllipsized instead. (I85aa2)
- Add some Marks/Annotations for best practice reason. (I66b20)
- expose more line APIs in TextLayoutResult. (I79bd2)
- Built-in vector converters to convert built-in units are now accessible via Foo.VectorConverter. e.g. Dp.VectorConverter, Color.VectorConverter, Float.VectorConverter, etc (I3e273)

- Remove unused OffsetBase interface
- Align Offset and IntOffset classes to have a consistent API surface
- Rename IntOffset.Origin to IntOffset.Zero to be consistent with Offset API
- Moved nativeCanvas method off of Canvas interface to support consumers to create their own Canvas instances
- Created stub EmptyCanvas class to refactor DrawScope to be a non-null parameter instead of lateinit and ensure non-nullability of the field
- Renamed ClipOp enums to be Pascal Case
- Renamed FilterQuality enums to be Pascal Case
- Renamed StrokeJoin enums to be Pascal Case
- Renamed PointMode enums to be Pascal Case
- Renamed PaintingStyle enums to be Pascal Case
- Renamed PathFillType enums to be Pascal Case

- Updated DrawScope to no longer use lazy delegation for fillPaint and strokePaint internal parameters
- Updated Image composable to avoid Box usage for less overhead
- Updated Outline class to have @Immutable annotations
- Updated PathNode to have @Immutable annotations for each path instruction
- Updated Vector subcomposition to remove redundant conditional checks for equality as compose already handles them
- Deprecated Rect companion constructor methods in favor of function constructors
- Updated Brush classes and function constructors with @Immutable and @Stable APIs
- Updated VertexMode enum to be PascalCase
- Updated DrawScope selectPaint method to conditionally overwrite stroke parameters on the paint if they have changed
- Updated Size to add destructuring API, rename UnspecifiedSize to Unspecified and removed unused methods
- Updated compose BlendMode API consumption to properly map between Android framework BlendModes and PorterDuff modes depending on API level. Introduced BlendMode#isSupported API to act as a capability query to determine if the BlendMode is supported on the device before it is used. (I0ef42)
- LazyItemScope was added for itemContent param of Lazy lists. It provides modifiers to fill the parent max size which solves the use case when the item should fill the viewport and the regular Modifier.fillMaxSize() doesn't work as the item is measured with infinity constraints. (Ibd3b2, b/162248854)
- Removed
SemanticsNodeInteraction.performPartialGesture
. UseSemanticsNodeInteraction.performGesture
instead. (Id9b62) LazyColumnItems
was renamed toLazyColumnFor
.LazyRowItems
was renamed toLazyRowFor
(I84f84)foundation.shape.corner
package was flattened tofoundation.share
(I46491, b/161887429)- Renamed
AndroidComposeTestRule
tocreateAndroidComposeRule
. (I70aaf) - Added more APIs to
TextLayoutResult
. (Id7e04) - Material
FilledTextField
was renamed toTextField
and foundationalTextField
was renamed toBaseTextField
to make simplest desired API easy to discover and use (Ia6242, b/155482676) - Modifier.drawBackground has been renamed to Modifier.background (I13677)

TransformOrigin
Deprecated Size.copy companion object method favor of instance copy method (Ife290, b/159905651)
Popups, Dialogs and Menus are now inheriting the contextual MaterialTheme (Ia3665, b/156527485)
TextDirection is renamed as ResolvedTextDirection (I3ff38)
Removed layout direction parameter from the measure block of the Layout() function. Layout direction is however available inside the callback through the measure scope object (Ic7d9d)
Refactor SelectionHandles for reusing. (I420e0)
Clickable was removed. Use Modifier.clickable (I84bdf)
TestTag and Semantics have been deleted. Use Modifier.testTag and Modifier.semantics instead (I15ff0, b/158841414)
Prior to this change, the compose compiler plugin would non-trivially intercept calls to constructors inside of a @Composable function if there was an (I5205a, b/158123804)
Modifier.tag was renamed to Modifier.layoutId, to avoid confusion with Modifier.testTag. (I995f0)
Alignment line Int positions returned from Placeable#get(AlignmentLine) are now non-null. If the queried alignment line is missing, AlignmentLine.Unspecified will be returned. (I896c5, b/158134875)
The AndroidView composable was added a modifier parameter. (I48a88, b/158746303)
Semantics() is deprecated. Use Modifier.semantics() instead. (I72407, b/158841414)
Add viewModel() composable which allows to create or get already created ViewModel similarly to how it works in Activity or Fragment (I5fdd1)
Replaced usage of IntPx with Int. Replaced IntPxPosition with IntOffset. Replaced IntPxSize with IntSize. (Ib7b44)
In order to consolidate the number of classes used to represent sizing information, standardize on usage of the Size class instead of PxSize. This provides the benefits of an inline class to leverage a long to pack 2 float values to represent width and height represented as floats. (Ic0191)
In order to consolidate the number of classes used to represent positioning information, standardize on usage of the Offset class instead of PxPosition. This provides the benefits of an inline class to leverage a long to pack 2 float values to represent x and y offsets represented as floats. (I3ad98)
Replaced usage of Px class in various compose classes as part of the large refactoring effort to only rely on Dp and primitive types for pixel parameters. Deleted Px class in its entirety (I3ff33)
Replaced usage of Px class in various compose classes as part of the large refactoring effort to only rely on Dp and primitive types for pixel parameters (I086f4)
Replaced usage of Px class in various compose classes as part of the large refactoring effort to only rely on Dp and primitive types for pixel parameters (Id3434)
Replaced usage of Px class in various compose classes as part of the large refactoring effort to only rely on Dp and primitive types for pixel parameters (I97a5a)
TestTag is now deprecated. Use Modifier.testTag instead. (If5110, b/157173105)
The default, no-op, implementation of ParentDataModifier#modifyParentData has been removed - it was equivalent to not implementing the interface in the first place. (I0deaa)
Previously deprecated ScaleFit as removed. Use ContentScale instead. (Ifbc5b)
Replaced usage of Px class in various compose classes as part of the large refactoring effort to only rely on Dp and primitive types for pixel parameters (I19d02)
Added the DropdownMenu component in ui-material, a Material Design menu implementation. (I9bb3d)
Removed deprecated LayoutTag(), please use Modifier.tag() instead. Removed deprecated Modifier.matchParent(), please use Modifier.matchParentSize() instead. (If8044)
Replaced usage of Px class in various compose classes as part of the large refactoring effort to only rely on Dp and primitive types for pixel parameters (I57bff)
Modifier.semantics has been undeprecated to allow usages for high level components. (I4cfdc)
Consolidated CanvasScope implementations so there is now just DrawScope and ContentDrawScope Renamed CanvasScope to DrawScope. Updated DrawScope to implement Density interface and provide LayoutDirection Deleted DrawScope subclass in ContentDrawScope Painter and PainterModifier have been updated to no longer maintain an RTL property themselves as DrawScope provides this already without manually providing it (I1798e)
DoubleTapGestureFilter now disambiguates SingleTapGestureFilter across the tree. (If92b1)
Updated Alignment API and added support for absolute alignment (which does not auto-mirror in Rtl context) (I38cd3)
DrawLayer modifiers api has been changed: outlineShape renamed to shape and has the RectangleShape default value and now non-nullable; clipToOutline renamed to clip; clipToBounds removed as it is the same as clip == true with RectangleShape (I7ef11, b/155075735)
Updated higher level compose APIs that expose a Canvas to expose CanvasScope instead. This removes the need for consumers to maintain their own Paint objects. For consumers that still require access to a Canvas they can use the drawCanvas extension method which provides a callback to issue drawing commands with the underlying Canvas. (I80afd)
WithConstraints trailing lambda API has been changed. Now instead of two params it has a receiver scope which in addition to constraints and layoutDirection provides minWidth, maxWidth, minHeight and maxHeight properties in Dp (I91b9a, b/149979702)
Renamed LayoutModifier2 to LayoutModifier. (Id29f3)
Removed deprecated LayoutModifier interface. (I2a9d6)
Intrinsic measurements functions in Layout and LayoutModifier2 have an IntrinsicMeasureScope receiver now which provides intrinsics query API with implicitly propagated layout direction. (Id9945)
Layout and LayoutModifier children can be measured with a different layout direction. (Ibd731)
New Modifier.zIndex() is added to control the drawing order of the children within the same parent layout. elevation property on DrawLayerModifier is renamed to shadowElevation and doesn't control the drawing order anymore. The params order fo DrawShadow is changed: elevation is now the first one and the shape is the second one with a RectangleShape default. (I20150, b/152417501)
Removed onSizeChange and onPositionChange in Owner. (I5c718)
Added Constraints2, a copy of Constraints that does only supports Int connstraints values rather than IntPx. IntPx will be removed and all integer constraints will be assumed to be pixels like Android.
- Added IntSize as well, which will eventually replace IntPxSize. (I4b43a)
Made Alignment instantiable with arbitrary values. Added 1D Alignments. (Ia0c05)
alignToSiblings now accepts a Measured instead of Placeable. (I5788d)
-
- Renamed ScaleFit to ContentScale
- Moved ContentScale from ui-graphics to ui-core module to live in the same module as the Alignment API.
- Renamed FillMaxDimension to Crop
- Renamed FillMinDimension to Fit
- Renamed Fit to Inside to better match
- ImageView.ScaleType equivalents
- Added documentation indicating that the combination of Crop and Alignment.Center achieves the same result as ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP and Fit used with Alignment.Center achieves the same result as ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER Inside used with Alignment.Center achieves the same result as ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_INSIDE
Rtl support for draw modifiers. (I0aaf9)
Released API for inflating Android Views from XML. See ViewInCompose demo for more details. (I42916)
Improve DrawModifier API:
- Made the receiver scope for draw() ContentDrawScope
- Removed all parameters on draw()
- DrawScope has same interface as former CanvasScope
- ContentDrawScope has drawContent() method (Ibaced, b/152919067)
Added positionInParent and boundsInParent for LayoutCoordinates. (Icacdd, b/152735784)
DrawLayerModifier and drawLayer() now default clipToBounds and clipToOutline to false. (I0eb8b, b/152810850)
Renamed LayoutResult to MeasureResult. (Id8c68)
Added LayoutModifier2, a new API for defining layout modifiers; deprecated LayoutModifier (If32ac)
Replaced Modifier plus operator with factory extension functions (I225e4)
Added translationX/Y properties to support offseting the display list of drawing commands for a given Layer. This is useful to move content in response to animations or touch events. (I8641c)
Added pivotX, pivotY parameters to Layer APIs to support rotation and scaling around a particular point on a layer (Icf7c3)
Add OnPositionedModifier and OnChildPositionedModifier to replace OnPositioned and OnChildPositioned composable functions. (I2ec8f)
Added LayerModifier, a modifier that allows adding a RenderNode for a Layout. It allows setting clipping, opacity, rotation, scaling, and shadows. This will replace RepaintBoundary. (I7100d, b/150774014)
Made the layout direction be propagated from parent layout node to children. Added layout direction modifier. (I3d955)
Stack component supports right-to-left directionality (Ic9e00)
Initial support for Rtl in Compose layout (Ia5519)
Density and DensityScope were merged into one interface. Instead of ambientDensity() you can now use DensityAmbient.current. Instead of withDensity(density) just with(density) (I11cb1)
Changed LayoutCoordinates to make providedAlignmentLines a Set instead of a Map and have LayoutCoordinates implement the get() operator instead for retrieving a value. This makes it easier for modifiers to modify one or more value of the set without creating a new collection for each modifier. (I0245a)
LayoutCoordinates no longer has a position property. The position property does not make sense when considering LayoutModifiers, rotation, or scaling. Instead, developers should use parentCoordinates and childToLocal() to calculate the transform from one LayoutCoordinate to another.
LayoutCoordinates uses IntPxSize for the size property instead of PxSize. Layouts use integer pixel sizes for layouts, so all layout sizes should use integers and not floating point values. (I9367b)
Improvements to the API surface of Constraints (I0fd15)
Created CanvasScope API that wraps a Canvas object to expose a stateless, declarative drawing API surface. Transformations are contained within their own receiver scope and sizing information is also scoped to corresponding inset bounds. It does not require a consumer to maintain its own Paint state object for configuring drawing operations.
- Added CanvasScopeSample as well as updated the demo app to include a declarative graphics demo (Ifd86d)
Removed unused MaskFilter API as it has limited usage and is not optimized for hardware acceleration in most use cases (I54f76)
RectangleShape moved from androidx.ui.foundation.shape.* to androidx.ui.graphics.* (Ia74d5, b/154507984)
Replaced all nullable Color uses in API with non-nullable and use Color.Unset instead of null (Iabaa7)
Introduce additional optional rect parameter to ImagePainter to support drawing a subsection of underlying ImageAsset (I0ea9e)
Added Unset Color to represent an unset value without boxing Colors. (If901a)
Added Canvas.rotate and Canvas.scale extension methods to consume optional pivot coordinates for transformations. These default to the top left corner of the current canvas translation.
Also moved Canvas.rotateRad to be an extension method for consistency (Ibaca6)
Created PixelMap API to support querying pixel information from an ImageAsset. (I69ad6)
Renamed toFrameworkRect/toFrameworkRectF to toAndroidRect/toAndroidRectF to match naming convention for object conversions between compose and the Android framework APIs they are built on top of. Also updated docs on these APIs (I86337)
Added VectorPainter API to replace existing subcomposition API for vector graphics. Result of subcomposition is a VectorPainter object instead of a DrawModifier. Deprecated previous DrawVector composables in favor of VectorPainter.
Renamed Image(Painter) API to PaintBox(Painter) Created Vector composable that behaves like the Image composable except with a VectorAsset instead of an ImageAsset (I9af9a, b/149030271)
Renamed Image to ImageAsset to better differentiate the difference between the Image data and the upcoming Image composable used to participate in layout and draw content. _Body:Created extension method on android.graphics.Bitmap, Bitmap.asImageAsset(), to create an instance of an ImageAsset useful for combining traditional Android application development with the compose framework (Id5bbd)
Added TextDirection.Content (I48f36)
Added TextDecoration.plus operator (I0ad1a)
Force
is removed from TextDirectionAlgorithm enum values (Icc944)TextDirectionAlgorithm is renamed as TextDirection (I75ce8)
Implements LongPressAndDrag for TextField Selection. (I17919)
Added AnnotatedString.getStringAnnotations that returns all annotations within the range. (I1fa00)
Changed the package name for Locale and LocaleList from androidx.ui.text to androidx.ui.intl (I8132c)
TextField's cursor has a blinking animation (Id10a7)
API change: AnnotatedString(builder: Builder) is renamed to annotatedString(builder: Builder). (Ia6377)
API change: AnnotatedString.Item is renamed to AnnotatedString.Range. (I2d44d)
Rename AnnotatedString.Builder.addAnnotationString to addStringAnnotation. (I5059e)
Now it is possible to hide/show software keyboard by using SoftwareKeyboardController which is delivered by onTextInputStarted callback (I8dc44, b/151860051)
Added plus operator for (Text/Paragraph/Span)Style which delegates to merge() function. (Ia1add)
FontWeight.lerp does not snap anymore. It is still a data class. (I521c2)
FontWeight constructor is now public, it is not data class anymore. (Id6b1f)
Add getLineStart, getLineEnd, getEllipsisOffset and getEllipsisCount to TextLayoutResult (Ibc801)
ui-text module is renamed as ui-text-core (I57dec)
Removed unused Size class as there is a duplicate Size class in the ui-geometry module that is being consumed. (I1b602)
Added AdapterList, a scrolling list component that only composes and lays out the visible items. Currently known issues include that it is vertical-only and does not fully handle all cases of changes to its children. (Ib351b)
Add paddings, border, shape and background param to Box (I05027, b/148147281)
Bug Fixes
- onFocusChange callback in text fields renamed to onFocusChanged (Ida4a1)
- VerticalScroller and HoriziontalScroller have been deprecated. Use ScrollableColumn and ScrollableRow for build-in experience with Column/Row behaviour and parameters, or Modifier.verticalScroll and Modifier.horizontalScroll on your own element. Similarly, ScrollerPosition has been deprecated in favor of ScrollState' (I400ce, b/157225838, b/149460415, b/154105299)
runOnIdleCompose
renamed torunOnIdle
(I83607)- Several testing APIs were renamed to be more intuitive. All findXYZ APIs were renamed to onNodeXYZ. All doXYZ APIs were renamed to performXYZ. (I7f164)
- Compose UI can now be composed inside ViewGroups without requiring a new composition. See ViewInteropDemo for an example. (I9ab0b, b/160455080)
- Added sortWith and removeRange to MutableVector (Icccf7)
- Implement Drag Selection Handles to change selection for TextField. (I27032)
- Removed Shader inline class that wrapped the NativeShader expect class Renamed NativeShader to Shader. The wrapped Shader inline class did not add anything valuable to the API surface and was an inline class, so use the NativeShader class directly. (I25e4d)
Refactored PainterModifier to no longer provide scaling based on the given constraints and ContentScale parameter. Implementations of Painter are to scale their drawing content themselves based on the given size of the DrawScope they are drawing into.
Fixed issue where VectorPainter's cache bitmap was sized to its default size instead of the given size to draw into.
Updated ImagePainter to scale its content instead of relying on PainterModifier to do so on its behalf. (I6ba90)
add top-level withFrameNanos function for animation timing (Ie34c5)
@Untracked annotation has been deprecated. Replace with @ComposableContract(tracked=false) (Id211e)
androidx.ui.foundation.TextFieldValue and androidx.ui.input.EditorValue is deprecated. TextField, FilledTextField and CoreTextField composables that uses that type is also deprecated. Please use androidx.ui.input.TextFieldValue instead (I4066d, b/155211005)
Fixed issue where pointer input dispatch would cause a crash if PointerInputFilters were removed via subcomposition during disptach. This is now fixed. (I1f48b, b/157998762)
Fixed issue where pointer input dispatch would cause a crash if PointerInputFilters were removed via subcomposition during disptach. This is now fixed. (Iab398, b/157998762)
Refactored Radius class to be an inline class. Removed companion creation methods in favor of function constructor with default parameter to have the radius along the y-axis match that of the mandatory x-axis radius parameter.
Updated DrawScope.drawRoundRect to consume a single Radius parameter instead of 2 separate float values for the radius along the x and y axis (I46d1b)
The Recompose composable is no longer a useful abstraction. Most recomposition should happen as a result of MutableState assignments. For anything beyond that, it is recommended that you use the
invalidate
function to trigger a recomposition of the current scope. (Ifc992)Replaced usage of Px class in various compose classes as part of the large refactoring effort to only rely on Dp and primitive types for pixel parameters (Iede0b)
Changes the code generation strategy of Compose’s compiler. Prior to the change, the compose compiler would transform calls to composable functions. With this change, we now transform the body of a composable function and leave the callsite unaltered (mostly).
This means that most of the logic communicating with the compose runtime happens at the start of the function body, instead of at the callsite.
This should be a source-compatible change for all usage of compose. Most users of compose should not have to update any code as a result of this change.
In order to support this work, the JVM signature of all composable functions has changed. A Composable function accepting a single parameter is transformed into a function accepting 3 parameters, the additional parameters are the Composer, a ‘key’ integer. a bitmask integer used to propagate metadata through calls.
Compose now also transforms default arguments to a composable function. It does this without introducing an additional synthetic default overload of the function itself, so this change will result in fewer functions being defined.
Known intentional behavioral changes resulting from this:
- Some calls will skip where they wouldn’t have previously
- Composable expressions in default argument expressions are now correctly subscribed to and handled
This work included some optimizations: 1. The result of comparisons of parameters are propagated through the call graph to other composable functions. This will result in fewer comparisons at runtime, reduces the slot table size, as well as more skipping of composable functions that were previously not skipped 2. Paremeters which are determined to be “static” at compile time are no longer compared or stored in the runtime. This reduces the number of comparisons and reduces slot table size. 3. Control flow structure of the body of functions is used to minimize the number of groups that are generated. This reduces slot table size and results in less work for the runtime 4. Unused dispatch and receiver parameters to functions are not included in determining skippability of the function if they are not used inside of the body of the function.
Most breaking changes were for APIs that the compiler targets directly, and typical use of compose will not be affected: 1. Composer::startExpr was removed 2. Composer::endExpr was removed 3. Composer::call was deprecated 4. The non-varargs overloads of
key
have been removed. Use thevararg
version going forward. 5. The Pivotal annotation was deprecated. Usekey
as a replacement. 6. ScopeUpdateScope::updateScope was changed to expect a Function3 instead of Function1 7. restartableFunction and restartableFunctionN were updated to include additional compile time parameters (I60756, b/143464846)Removed deprecated LayoutAlign modifiers. (I10877)
Removed RepaintBoundary in favor of DrawLayerModifier (I00aa4)
Button, FloatingActionButton and Clickable now have a separate
enabled
param. Some of the params on Button were renamed or reordered. (I54b5a)Replaced ButtonStyle with distinct functions and removed text (string) overload. See updated samples for usage information. (If63ab, b/146478620, b/146482131)
Breaking changes to the ambients API. See log and
Ambient<T>
documentation for details (I4c7ee, b/143769776)Changed the behavior of default TextDirection to be determined by LayoutDirection. i.e. If LayoutDirection is RTL, default TextDirection will be RTL. Previously it was TextDirection.ContentOrLtr/Rtl (I4e803)
Bug fix: When font weight and font style are nested on an AnnotatedString, text is not rendered correctly. (I77a9d)
Adds commonly used parameters to Text(). If you are currently creating a local text style to pass a small number of these parameters, such as Text(style = TextStyle(textAlign = TextAlign.Center)), you can now just provide the parameters directly: Text(textAlign = TextAlign.Center) (I82768)
ui-android-text module is renamed as ui-text-android (I68cbe)
