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. * Fixed type error in Array Utils where it expected ColorStateList but got raw colors.
