Core-Viewtree Version 1.0

Version 1.0.0-alpha01

December 11, 2024

androidx.core:core-viewtree:1.0.0-alpha01 is released. Version 1.0.0-alpha01 contains these commits.

New Features

Initial release of core-viewtree, transitively exposed by androidx core.
This initial release introduces the concept of a View being able to have a disjoint parent. A disjoint parent of a view is a separate View object that acts as the view’s parent, but is not set via the View.parent property. Examples of Views with disjoint parents are ViewOverlays, popups, and dialogs, which all appear outside of the main view hierarchy. A View can only have a disjoint parent if it does not have a direct parent via the platform’s View.parent property. Currently, androidx only sets the disjoint parent for ViewOverlays created by transition. You can also specify your own disjoint parents for views. See the documentation for more information.

API Changes

Adds ViewParent.getParentOrViewTreeDisjointParent() and ViewParent.setViewTreeDisjointParent(View, ViewParent?) methods (Ib2950)

Core-i18n Core-location-altitude Version 1.0.

Version 1.0.0-alpha03

October 16, 2024

androidx.core:core-location-altitude:1.0.0-alpha03, androidx.core:core-location-altitude-external-protobuf:1.0.0-alpha03, and androidx.core:core-location-altitude-proto:1.0.0-alpha03 are released. Version 1.0.0-alpha03 contains these commits.

Security fix

As of this change, androidx compiles against protobuf 4.28.2 in order to address CVE-2024-7254. Upgrade your dependency on androidx.core:core-location-altitude-protoand androidx.core:core-location-altitude-external-protobuf to 1.1.0-alpha03 to address the vulnerability risk.

Bug Fixes

Removed manual outlining of access to new platform APIs since this happens automatically via API modeling when using R8 with AGP 7.3 or later (e.g. R8 version 3.3) and for all builds when using AGP 8.1 or later (e.g. D8 version 8.1). Clients who are not using AGP are advised to update to D8 version 8.1 or later. See this article for more details. (Ieb9ae, b/345472586)

Version 1.0.0-alpha02

June 12, 2024

androidx.core:core-location-altitude:1.0.0-alpha02, androidx.core:core-location-altitude-external-protobuf:1.0.0-alpha02, and androidx.core:core-location-altitude-proto:1.0.0-alpha02 are released. Version 1.0.0-alpha02 contains these commits.

Bug Fixes

Core-telecom Version 1.0.

Version 1.0.0-beta01

December 11, 2024

androidx.core:core-telecom:1.0.0-beta01 is released. Version 1.0.0-beta01 contains these commits.

New Features

Beta release for the following new features:

Fetching available audio endpoints before a call is added. App developers can now display all the available endpoints before initiating a call which allows users to seamlessly select their preferred audio endpoint and optimize their setup. This eliminates the need for in-call adjustments at the start of the call, providing a smoother experience.
Experimental API support for VOIP application call extensions. Call extensions allow an application to provide more details about an ongoing call, such as the list of participants in a group call or meeting. Supported remote surfaces such as Android Auto can then show this information to the user and allow them to interact with the supported extensions. The new experimental extensions added in this release are:
- Support for showing the participants in a group call or meeting and describing which participant is active. Support for the following optional actions on participants:
  - Raising and lowering the hands of participants.
  - Kicking participants.
- Support for call silence, which allows remote surfaces to silence a VOIP call without also globally muting the mic.

API Changes

Rename addLocalSilenceExtension to addLocalCallsilenceExtension (If4a9c)
Change preferredStartingCallEndpointfrom var to val. (Iab6b7)
Add local call silence APIs (I29dd0)
Implement the compareTo function for the CallEndpointCompat class (Ia06b7)
Adds experimental app actions API. (Ifb796)
Add new CallsManager API getAvailableStartingCallEndpoints (Ia8bcf)
Update ExperimentalAppActions annotation to ensure that it is accurately tracking all usages of the experimental feature. (Id5ea5)

Bug Fixes

Add global mute state receiver for Android API level 28 through 33. (I75e66)
Fixes an issue where only the latest connected InCallService would be able to send action events (I39599)
Implements ICS Extensions API for voip app actions. (I1274c)
Rejecting a call before API level 34 will now correctly destroy the call in Telecom. (I635b7)
addCall now properly throws Exceptions through the API instead of the parent coroutine (I83334)
Add a placeholder value to extras bundle (Iebf7f)
Removed manual outlining of access to new platform APIs since this happens automatically via API modeling when using R8 with AGP 7.3 or later (e.g. R8 version 3.3) and for all builds when using AGP 8.1 or later (e.g. D8 version 8.1). Clients who are not using AGP are advised to update to D8 version 8.1 or later. See this article for more details. (Ieb9ae, b/345472586)
Adds experimental support for extensions to CallsManager#addCall. (I24d92)
Core-Telecom will now throw a CallException if the platform failed to add the call due to an exception, reaching max call count, etc. (I41f27)

Version 1.0.0-alpha03

Version 1.0.0-alpha02

October 4, 2023

androidx.core:core-telecom:1.0.0-alpha02 is released. Version 1.0.0-alpha02 contains these commits.

API Changes

Revamped the API signatures for methods that returned boolean to indicate success/failure to instead return a result class that clearly indicates why an operation succeeded or failed.
Moved the CallControlCallback methods as lambda args to addCall to remove the need to explicitly provide a callback in the call scope.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug in the ConnectionService compatibility layer which would have resulted in no call audio when running against pre-U SDKs.
Improve API documentation.

Version 1.0.0-alpha01

May 10, 2023

androidx.core:core-telecom:1.0.0-alpha01 is released. This version is developed in an internal branch and should be used with Android 14 Beta 2.

New Features

Introduces the CallsManager API which VoIP apps can use for integrating with the Telecom framework on a device. Calls notified to the platform benefit from foreground execution priority, visibility on Bluetooth, wearable and automotive devices, and simplified audio routing.

The CallsManager API wraps the legacy ConnectionService API for devices running older versions of Android.

Introduces the concept of a View being able to have a disjoint parent. A disjoint parent of a view is a different view that effectively parents the other view, but is not set via the View.parent property. See the documentation for more information. (Ib2950)
Added a new API ViewGroupCompat#installCompatInsetsDispatch for developers to fix an insets dispatching issue present prior to API 30. (I11159)
Added FontsContractCompat.TypefaceStyle IntDef for annotating Typeface styles in FontsContractCompat. (Ib3e5b)

External Contribution

Important Changes since 1.0.0

Updated accessibility APIs to match the Android 10 platform accessibility APIs
Added improvements to Nested Scrolling; see NestedScrollingChild3 and NestedScrollingParent3.
This library no longer exposes the androidx.collection dependency as part of its API. If you were depending on the androidx.collection types implicitly through a dependency on Core, you will need to add an explicit androidx.collection dependency to your library or app. This change is source-incompatible but retains binary compatibility. The Collection dependency is still a transitive dependency of Core but as an implementation detail instead of part of its API.
Worked around an IPC compatibility issue caused by refactor to androidx (aosp/948725, aosp/938269)
Added a variety of fixes for AppCompat DayNight (aosp/942956)

androidx.core:core:1.1.0-beta01 and androidx.core:core-ktx:1.1.0-beta01 are released. The commits included in this version can be found here.

The initial release of AndroidX broke backwards compatibility for Support Library compat APIs that are used for inter-process communication, sending keyed data in bundles.

This library no longer exposes the ‘collection’ dependency as part of its API. If you were depending on the ‘collection’ types implicitly through a dependency on ‘core’, you will need to add an explicit ‘collection’ dependency to your library or app. This change is source-incompatible but retains binary compatibility. The ‘collection’ dependency is still a transitive dependency of ‘core’ but as an implementation detail instead of part of its API.

Version 1.1.0-alpha01

November 5, 2018

androidx.core 1.1.0-alpha01 is released with the following API changes and bug fixes.

New features and API changes

NestedScrollingChild3 and NestedScrollingParent3 add the ‘consumed’ parameter to the overloaded dispatchNestedScroll and * onNestedScroll methods so that the view that drives nested scrolling can be better informed about how much scroll distance was * consumed by parents in each nested scroll pass.
NestedScrollView now implements NestedScrollingChild3 and NestedScrollingParent3, and therefore, the NestedScrollingChild2 and * NestedScrollingParent2 implementations of dispatchNestedScroll and onNestedScroll are not guaranteed to be called. Developers * counting on either being called should also override the new nested scrolling 3 version of dispatchNestedScroll and onNestedScroll.
ShortcutInfoCompat has the following new fields: Persons, categories and isLongLived. Done to advertise it can accept various types * of content.
Renamed SupportActivity to ComponentActivity. See androidx.activity for more info.
Added getMainExecutor() method, which returns an Executor link that will run enqueued tasks on the main thread associated with that * context.
Added compatibility implementation of Resources.getFloat.
Added Results Source to compat RemoteInput. This allows apps to distinguish direct and smart replies for logging purposes.
Added Kotlin extension functions for TextView TextWatcher actions.
Deprecated AccessibilityNodeInfo capability and flag setters; use actions instead.
Added AccessibilityPane to ViewCompat.
Exposed ClickableSpans on pre-O devices through the addition of AccessibilityClickableSpanCompat.
Deprecated AccessibilityNodeInfoCompat.setFocusable(), setClickable(), setLongClickable(), setScrollable(), and setContextClickable(). Added AccessibilityActions instead.
Added ViewCompat.setAccessibilityPaneTitle(), getAccessibilityPaneTitle(), setScreenReaderFocusable(), isScreenReaderFocusable(), setAccessibilityHeading(), and isAccessibilityHeading(), to backport this View accessibility functionality through API 19.
Added ViewCompat.enableAccessibleClickableSpanSupport() to allow developers to make non-URL ClickableSpans accessible back through API 19.

Bug fixes

Fixed bug that caused ResourcesCompat.getFont() crash when the network fails, when using downloadable fonts.
Fixed Null Pointer Exception in TypefaceCompatApi21 that occurred when ContentResolver returned null.
