Version 1.4

Version 1.4.0

November 17, 2021

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.4.0, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.4.0, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.4.0 are released. Version 1.4.0 contains these commits.

Important changes since 1.3.0

The FragmentStrictMode APIs provide runtime checks that allow you to verify that your app or libraries you depend on are not calling deprecated fragment APIs. When a violation is detected, you can choose to print a log message, trigger your own custom listener, or crash your app. The FragmentStrictMode.Policy that controls what checks are enabled and what “penalties” are triggered can be set on a FragmentManager via the new setStrictModePolicy() method. That policy applies to that FragmentManager and transitively to any child fragment managers that do not set their own unique policy. See StrictMode for fragments.
FragmentContainerView now provides a getFragment() method which returns the fragment that was most recently added to the container. This uses the same logic as findFragmentById() with the ID of the FragmentContainerView, but allows chaining the call.
```
val navController = binding.container.getFragment<NavHostFragment>().navController
```
FragmentScenario now implements Closeable, allowing you to use it with Kotlin’s use method or try-with-resources.
Added FragmentTransaction#TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_MATCH_ACTIVITY_{OPEN, CLOSE} to specify whether to enable the standard Activity-transition animation taken from your theme in Fragments transition.
The experimental API of FragmentManager.enableNewStateManager(boolean) has been removed and the new state manager is now the only option available.

Multiple back stacks

The FragmentManager maintains a back stack made up of fragment transactions that used addToBackStack(). This allows you to pop those transactions and return to the previous state, using the mechanisms for Saving state with fragments to allow your fragments to restore their state appropriately.

This release expands on these mechanisms by providing three new FragmentManager APIs: saveBackStack(String name), restoreBackStack(String name), and clearBackStack(String name). These APIs use the same name as addToBackStack() to save the state of the FragmentTransaction and the state of every fragment that was added in those transactions and allow you to later restore those transactions and their fragments with their state in tact. This allows you to effectively ‘swap’ between multiple back stacks by saving the current back stack and restoring a saved back stack.

saveBackStack() operates similarly to popBackStack() in that it is asynchronous and results in all the fragment transactions back to that specific name to be reversed (‘popped’) and any added fragments to be destroyed and removed, but it differs in a few important ways:

saveBackStack() is always inclusive.
Unlike popBackStack() which will pop all transactions on the back stack if the specified name is not found on the back stack or if a null name is provided, saveBackStack() does nothing if you haven’t previously committed a fragment transaction using addToBackStack() with that exact, non-null name.
The state of all fragments added from those transactions is saved. This means that the View state of every fragment is stored, onSaveInstanceState() of every fragment is called and that state is restored, and any ViewModel instances associated with those fragments are retained (and onCleared() is not called on them).

The fragment transactions that can be used with saveBackStack() must meet certain criteria:

Every fragment transaction must use setReorderingAllowed(true) to ensure the transactions can be restored as a single, atomic operation.
The set of transactions saved must be self-contained (i.e., they must not explicitly reference any fragments outside of that set of transactions) to ensure that they can be restored at any later time, no matter what changes have been made to the back stack in the intervening time.
No fragment that is saved can be a retained fragment or have a retained fragment in their transitive set of child fragments to ensure that the FragmentManager does not return any references to saved fragments after the back stack is saved.

Similar to saveBackStack(), restoreBackStack() and clearBackStack(), which would restore a previously saved back stack or clear a previously saved back stack, respectively, both do nothing if you have not previously called saveBackStack() with the same name.

For more information, see Multiple back stacks: A deep dive.

Lint

Added the DetachAndAttachFragmentInSameFragmentTransaction lint warning for detecting calling both detach() and attach() on the same Fragment in the same FragmentTransaction - as these complementary operations cancel each other out when done in the same transaction, they must be split into separate transactions to actually do anything. (aosp/1832956, b/200867930)
Added the FragmentAddMenuProvider lint error for correcting usages of the Fragment Lifecycle to the Fragment view Lifecycle when using the addMenuProvider API of MenuHost. (aosp/1830457, b/200326272)

Documentation Updates

Fixed an issue with multiple back stacks when rapidly swapping between back stacks that would appear as an IllegalStateException while restoring a FragmentTransaction or as a second copy of a fragment appearing. (I9039f)
Fixed an issue where FragmentManager would hold onto a copy of state previously saved via saveBackStack() even after that state was restored. (Ied212)
The dismissAllowingStateLoss() method of DialogFragment no longer crashes when you call it after the state is saved when specifically adding the DialogFragment via the show(FragmentTransaction, String) method. (I84422)

Version 1.4.0-alpha05

July 21, 2021

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.4.0-alpha05, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.4.0-alpha05, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.4.0-alpha05 are released. Version 1.4.0-alpha05 contains these commits.

Bug Fixes

From Fragment 1.3.6: The Fragment’s view is now properly set to GONE when using hide() when the root view has transitionGroup=”true” set. (aosp/1766655, b/193603427)
From Fragment 1.3.6: FragmentActivity now always unlocks the saved state as its first operation in lifecycle callbacks it overrides. (I6db7a)

Dependency update

From Fragment 1.3.6: Fragments now depends on Activity 1.2.4 (I3a66c)

Version 1.4.0-alpha04

June 30, 2021

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.4.0-alpha04, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.4.0-alpha04, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.4.0-alpha04 are released. Version 1.4.0-alpha04 contains these commits.

API Changes

FragmentManager now uses SavedStateRegistry under the hood to save its state. The saveAllState() and restoreSavedState() methods have also been deprecated in FragmentController. If you are using FragmentController to host fragments outside of FragmentActivity, you should have your FragmentHostCallbacks implement SavedStateRegistryOwner. (Iba68e, b/188734238)

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where the call to saveBackStack() as part of supporting multiple back stacks would fail when done at the same time as running a FragmentTransaction that used replace(). (I73137)
Fixed a NullPointerException that would occur after manually restoring a saved back stack that contained multiple transactions when using the restoreBackStack() API for multiple back stack support. This also fixed an issue where setReorderingAllowed(true) was not being checked for all transactions. (I8c593)
Fixed an issue where FragmentManager would incorrectly continue to restore previously saved state of fragments even after those fragments were removed from the FragmentManager, thus causing the saved state to continuously grow over time. (I1fb8e)

Version 1.4.0-alpha03

June 16, 2021

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.4.0-alpha03, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.4.0-alpha03, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.4.0-alpha03 are released. Version 1.4.0-alpha03 contains these commits.

New Features

All Fragment StrictMode Violation classes have been updated with more detailed error messages that explain the details of the violation. (b/187871638)
- FragmentTagUsageViolation now contains more detailed error message that container the parent container that the fragment would have been added to. (Ic33a7)
- WrongFragmentContainerViolation now has more detailed error message that includes the container that the fragment was being added to. (Ib55f8)
- The use case classes for TargetFragmentUsageViolation now have more detailed error messages to include the fragment causing the violation and any other contained information. (Icc6ac)
- The classes extending RetainInstanceUsageViolation now have more detailed error messages that include the fragment causing the violation. (I6bd55)
- FragmentReuseViolation now has more detailed error message that includes the previous id of the fragment. (I28ce2)
- SetUserVisibleHintViolation now has more detailed error message that includes what the user visible hint was being set to. (Ib2d5f)

Behavior Changes

Reverted the restriction on calling fitsSystemWindows on a FragmentContainerView - this no longer crashes your app. (6b8ddd, b/190622202)

Bug Fixes

From Fragment 1.3.5: Fixed a regression in shared element transitions introduced in Fragment 1.3.4 by aosp/1679887. Fragments now correctly handle transition groups (either set directly via transitionGroup="true" or indirectly via a transitionName or background) and shared elements will no longer throw IndexOutOfBoundsExceptions. (I16484, b/188679569, b/188969304)
The FragmentManager will no longer crash when you attempt to hide a removing fragment. (I573dd, b/183634730)
The OnCreateDialogIncorrectCallback lint check will no longer crash when evaluating a top level variable. (0a9efa, b/189967522)

Version 1.4.0-alpha02

June 2, 2021

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.4.0-alpha02, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.4.0-alpha02, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.4.0-alpha02 are released. Version 1.4.0-alpha02 contains these commits.

New Features

FragmentStrictMode will now always log violations when logging is enabled via the FragmentManager, regardless of the current strict mode policy being used. (I02df6, b/187872638)
FragmentStrictMode now supports exempting particular Fragment classes from strict mode Violations allowing that class to bypass any penalties. (Ib4e5d, b/184786736)
The FragmentStrictMode Violation class has been expanded to add structure information based on each violation. This allows you to verify exactly what caused the violation along with the violating fragment (If5118, b/187871150), each Violation contains the following:
- WrongFragmentContainerViolation now contains the ViewGroup that the Fragment was attempting to be added to. (I83c75, b/187871150)
- TargetFragmentUsageViolationhas been expanded into, SetTargetFragmentUsageViolation, GetTargetFragmentUsageViolation, and GetTargetFragmentRequestCodeUsageViolation, with SetTargetFragmentUsageViolation containing the target fragment and request code. (I741b4, b/187871150)
- SetUserVisibleHintViolation now contains the boolean value passed into setUserVisibleHint(). (I00585, b/187871150)
- FragmentTagUsageViolation now contains the ViewGroup that the <fragment> tag was attempting to inflate a fragment into.(I5dbbc, b/187871150)
- FragmentReuseViolation now contains the unique ID of the previous instance of the Fragment that caused the viotion. (I0544d, b/187871150)
- RetainInstanceUsageViolation is now abstract and has two subclasses, SetRetainInstanceUsageViolation and GetRetainInstanceUsageViolation, representing the two cases for the violation type. (Ic81e5, b/187871150)

Behavior Changes

FragmentContainerView now throws an exception when attempting to change the fitsSystemWindow attribute programmatically or via XML. Insets should be handled by each individual fragment’s view. (Ie6651, b/187304502)

Version 1.4.0-alpha01

May 18, 2021

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.4.0-alpha01, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.4.0-alpha01, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.4.0-alpha01 are released. Version 1.4.0-alpha01 contains these commits.

New Features

FragmentContainerView now provides a getFragment() method which returns the fragment that was most recently added to the container. This uses the same logic as findFragmentById() with the ID of the FragmentContainerView, but allows chaining the call. (Ife17a, b/162527857)
```
val navController = binding.container.getFragment<NavHostFragment>().navController
```
Added FragmentTransaction#TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_MATCH_ACTIVITY_{OPEN, CLOSE} to specify whether to enable the standard Activity-transition animation taken from your theme in Fragments transition. (I46652)

Multiple back stacks

This release expands on these mechanisms by providing two new FragmentManager APIs: saveBackStack(String name) and restoreBackStack(String name). These APIs use the same name as addToBackStack() to save the state of the FragmentTransaction and the state of every fragment that was added in those transactions and allow you to later restore those transactions and their fragments with their state in tact. This allows you to effectively ‘swap’ between multiple back stacks by saving the current back stack and restoring a saved back stack.

saveBackStack() is always inclusive.
Unlike popBackStack() which will pop all transactions on the back stack if the specified name is not found on the back stack or if a null name is provided, saveBackStack() does nothing if you haven’t previously committed a fragment transaction using addToBackStack() with that exact, non-null name.
The state of all fragments added from those transactions is saved. This means that the View state of every fragment is stored, onSaveInstanceState() of every fragment is called and that state is restored, and any ViewModel instances associated with those fragments are retained (and onCleared() is not called on them).

No fragment that is saved can be a retained fragment or have a retained fragment in their transitive set of child fragments to ensure that the FragmentManager does not return any references to saved fragments after the back stack is saved.

Similar to saveBackStack(), restoreBackStack() does nothing if you have not previously called saveBackStack() with the same name. (b/80029773)

Fragment StrictMode

The FragmentStrictMode APIs provide runtime checks that allow you to verify that your app or libraries you depend on are not calling deprecated fragment APIs. When a violation is detected, you can choose to print a log message, trigger your own custom listener, or crash your app. The FragmentStrictMode.Policy that controls what checks are enabled and what “penalties” are triggered can be set on a FragmentManager via the new setStrictModePolicy() method. That policy applies to that FragmentManager and transitively to any child fragment managers that do not set their own unique policy. (#123, #131, #150, b/143774122)

detectFragmentReuse() detects whether a previously removed Fragment instance is being re-added to a FragmentManager. You should never interact with or keep a reference to a Fragment instance after it has been destroyed and removed from a FragmentManager. (#142, b/153738653)
detectFragmentTagUsage() detects when you are using the <fragment> tag in your layout XML. You should always use FragmentContainerView when inflating fragments as part of your layout. (#141, b/153738235)
detectWrongFragmentContainer() detects when you add a fragment to a container that is not a FragmentContainerView. You should always use FragmentContainerView as the container for fragments in your layout. (#146, b/181137036)
detectRetainInstanceUsage() detects when you use the deprecated setRetainInstance() or getRetainInstance() APIs. (#140, b/153737954)
detectSetUserVisibleHint() detects when you use the deprecated setUserVisibleHint() API. (#136, b/153738974)
detectTargetFragmentUsage() detects when you use the deprecated setTargetFragment(), getTargetFragment() or getTargetRequestCode() APIs. (#139, b/153737745)

API Changes

The experimental API of FragmentManager.enableNewStateManager(boolean) has been removed and the new state manager is now the only option available. (I90036, b/162776418)
FragmentScenario now implements Closeable, allowing you to use it with Kotlin’s use method or try-with-resources. (#121, b/143774122)

New Lint checks

The UseGetLayoutInflater Lint check now warns when using LayoutInflater.from(Context) within a DialogFragment - you should always use the dialog fragment’s getLayoutInflater() method to get the appropriate for LayoutInflater. (#156, b/170781346)
The DialogFragmentCallbacksDetector Lint check now warns when calling setOnCancelListener or setOnDismissListener in the onCreateDialog() method of a DialogFragment - these listeners are owned by the DialogFragment itself and you should override onCancel() and onDismiss() to receive these callbacks. (#171, b/181780047, b/187524311)

Bug Fixes

From Fragment 1.3.4: Fixed a regression introduced in Fragment 1.3.3 when using the ViewTreeViewModelStoreOwner.get() API with ViewModelProvider or the Jetpack Compose method of viewModel() inside a Fragment. These use cases now correctly use the ViewModelProvider.Factory provided by your Fragment if it overrides getDefaultViewModelProviderFactory() (as @AndroidEntryPoint annotated Fragments do when using Hilt). If you do not override that method, a SavedStateViewModelFactory that saves and restores its state alongside the Fragment’s view is created as the default factory. (I5cbfa, b/186097368)
From Fragment 1.3.4: When using FragmentContainerView on API 29, insets will no longer dispatch indefinitely, fixing issues with BottomNavigationBar and FloatingActionButton instances. (I1bb78, b/186012452)
From Fragment 1.3.4: You can now retrieve your Parcelable from the fragment result bundle after process death. (I65932, b/187443158)
From Fragment 1.3.4: When doing a shared element transition on a ViewGroup, if the ViewGroup has transitionGroup set to false, it will now properly transition. (I99675)

The docs for setFragmentResult and setFragmentResultListener have updated their parameters docs to reflect that they no longer accept nullables (I990ba, b/178348386)

New State Manager Bug Fixes

Fixed a memory leak in fragments caused by mFocusedView (Ib4e9e, b/179925887)
Fragments now properly call onCreateOptionsMenu when using show/hide transactions (I8bce8, b/180255554)
Child fragments with transitions that start prior to the fragment being laid out will now properly reach RESUMED (Ic11e6, b/180825150)
Fragments inflated using the <fragment> tag will now always make it to RESUMED (I452ac, (I9fa49)

Dependency Updates

Fragment 1.3.1 depends on Activity 1.2.1. (I557b9)

Version 1.3.0

February 10, 2021

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.3.0, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.3.0, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.3.0 are released. Version 1.3.0 contains these commits.

Major changes since 1.2.0

New State Manager: A significant rewrite of the internals of FragmentManager has fixed numerous issues around the dispatch of lifecycle events, animations and transitions, and how postponed fragments are handled.
Activity Result API Integration: Added support for the ActivityResultRegistry API introduced in Activity 1.2.0 to handle startActivityForResult()+onActivityResult() as well as requestPermissions()+onRequestPermissionsResult() flows without overriding methods in your Fragment in addition to providing hooks for testing these flows. See the updated Getting a Result from an Activity.
- This release fixes a number of issues around invalid request codes and the dispatch of permission requests that prevent the Activity Result API from working on previous versions of FragmentActivity. You must upgrade to Fragment 1.3.0 to use the Activity Result APIs in a FragmentActivity or AppCompatActivity.
Fragment Result API: Added support for passing results between two Fragments via new APIs on FragmentManager. This works for hierarchy fragments (parent/child), DialogFragments, and fragments in Navigation and ensures that results are only sent to your Fragment while it is at least STARTED. The target fragment APIs have been deprecated in favor of these new APIs. See Get Results using the Fragment Result API.
FragmentOnAttachListener: The onAttachFragment() callback on FragmentActivity and Fragment have been deprecated. A new FragmentOnAttachListener has been added to provide a more flexible alternative, allowing delegation of onAttachFragment() to separate, testable listeners and support for adding a listener to FragmentManagers other than your direct child FragmentManager.
FragmentScenario Improvements: The FragmentScenario class from the fragment-testing artifact has been rewritten in Kotlin and has received a number of improvements:
- FragmentScenario now uses setMaxLifecycle() to implement moveToState(), ensuring consistent behavior on all API levels and decoupling the Fragment’s state from the underlying Activity.
- FragmentScenario now supports setting an initial Lifecycle.State to support asserting the fragment’s state before moving to each Lifecycle.State for the first time.
- There is now an alternative to the FragmentScenario API of onFragment in the form of the Kotlin reified extension method withFragment that allows you to return a value. Notably, it rethrows exceptions raised in the given block.
ViewTree Support: Fragment now supports the ViewTreeLifecycleOwner.get(View), ViewTreeViewModelStoreOwner.get(View), and ViewTreeSavedStateRegistryOwner APIs added in Lifecycle 2.3.0 and SavedState 1.1.0 such that it will return the Fragment as the ViewModelStoreOwner, and a SavedStateRegistryOwner and LifecycleOwner tied to the fragment’s view Lifecycle when using a View within a Fragment.
TRANSIT_ animation changes: The fragment default effects, TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN, TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_CLOSE, and TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE, now use Animator instead of Animation. The resources used to build these animators are now private.
setRetainInstance() deprecation: The setRetainInstance() method on Fragments has been deprecated. With the introduction of ViewModels, developers have a specific API for retaining state that can be associated with Activities, Fragments, and Navigation graphs. This allows developers to use a normal, not retained Fragment and keep the specific state they want retained separate, avoiding a common source of leaks while maintaining the useful properties of a single creation and destruction of the retained state (namely, the constructor of the ViewModel and the onCleared() callback it receives).
ViewPager 1 adapter deprecation: With the release of ViewPager2 1.0.0, the FragmentPagerAdapter and FragmentStatePagerAdapter classes for interacting with ViewPager have been deprecated. See Migrate from ViewPager to ViewPager2.

Focus is now properly restored to Fragment root views when they are resumed. (Ifc84b)
Combining pop and replace operations in the same fragment transaction will now show the proper animations (Ifd4e4, b/170328691)

Version 1.3.0-beta02

December 2, 2020

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.3.0-beta02, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.3.0-beta02, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.3.0-beta02 are released. Version 1.3.0-beta02 contains these commits.

New Features

FragmentScenario has been fully converted to Kotlin while maintaining source and binary compatibility via usage of Kotlin 1.4's functional interfaces for FragmentAction. (I19d31)

Behavior Changes

FragmentContainerViews that do not inflate a fragment using the class or android:name attribute can now be used outside of a FragmentActivity. (Id4397, b/172266337)
Attempting to set the max lifecycle of a fragment to DESTROYED will now throw an IllegalArgumentException (Ie7651, b/170765622)
Initializing a FragmentScenario with a DESTROYED state will now throw an IllegalArgumentException (I73590, b/170765622)

New State Manager Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where the view would not reach its final state if you interrupt a fragment transition that was using an Animator or one of the TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_ options. (I92426, b/169874632)
Fixed an issue that prevented fragments with an exiting Animation from being properly destroyed. (I83d65)
Exiting fragments that have their effects reversed now correctly cancel and restart with the proper entering effect. (I62226, b/167092035)
Fixed an issue where the exit Animator of a hide() would not run. (Id7ffe)
Fragments now properly appear when postponed and then immediately started. (Ie713b, b/170022857)
Fragments that remove their focused view during an animation will no longer attempt to restore the focus on the detached view once they reach RESUMED (I38c65, b/172925703)

External Contribution

FragmentFactory now caches fragment classes separately for different ClassLoader instances. Thanks Simon Schiller! (#87, b/113886460)

Version 1.3.0-beta01

October 1, 2020

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.3.0-beta01, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.3.0-beta01, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.3.0-beta01 are released. Version 1.3.0-beta01 contains these commits.

New Features

setMaxLifecycle() now supports setting the Lifecycle state to INITIALIZING as long as the fragment has not been moved to CREATED. (b/159662173)

API Changes

Upgrade androidx to use Kotlin 1.4 (Id6471, b/165307851, b/165300826)

Behavior Changes

Fragment resource files have been correctly made private. (aosp/1425237)

Bug Fixes

Fragments inflated using the <fragment> tag will now properly wait until their views are added to a container before moving to STARTED (I02f4c)
Fragments that are visible and then setMaxLifecycle() to CREATED now properly run their exit effects. (b/165822335)
Removing a detached fragment that is not added to the back stack no longer causes a memory leak. Courtesy of Nicklas Ansman Giertz! (b/166489383)
Active fragments will now always have a non-null FragmentManager and fragments with a non-null FragmentManager will always be considered active. (aosp/1422346)
The fragment default effects, TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN, TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_CLOSE, and TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE, now use Animator instead of Animation. (b/166155034)

New State Manager Bug Fixes

Fragments now properly restore their view focus state from right before they start their animation. (Icc256)
Fragments that only have a shared element transition now properly complete their special effects meaning they actually move to their final state (Iaebc7, b/166658128)
Fragment views are now always removed from the container before being destroyed. (Id5876)
The new state manager now consistently removes the exiting fragment view before adding the entering one. (I41a6e)
Explicit changes to a fragment view’s visibility are now respected by the new state manager. This means that if you set an entering fragment’s view to INVISIBLE before the animation begins, it will actually stay invisible. (b/164481490)
Fragments now prioritize Animators over Animations, meaning a fragment with both will only run the Animator and ignore the Animation. (b/167579557)
The new state manager no longer causes fragments to flash when using entering animations. (b/163084315)

Known Issue

When using the new state manager, if you press back during an entering special effect instead of returning to the previous fragment, the old fragment is never re-added, resulting in a blank screen. (b/167259187, b/167092035, b/168442830)

Version 1.3.0-alpha08

August 19, 2020

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.3.0-alpha08, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.3.0-alpha08, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.3.0-alpha08 are released. Version 1.3.0-alpha08 contains these commits.

New State Manager

This release includes a major refactoring of the internal state management of FragmentManager which affects the dispatch of lifecycle methods, animations and transitions, and how postponed transactions are handled. This is enabled by default. See the Fragments: Rebuilding the Internals blog post for more details. (b/139536619, b/147749580)

An experimental API in FragmentManager.enableNewStateManager(boolean) can be used to control whether FragmentManager uses the new state manager. (I7b6ee)

The following issues are fixed only when using the new state manager:

The previous fragment of a replace operation is now correctly stopped before the new fragment is started. (b/161654580)
Fragments now prevent multiple competing animations on the same fragments, avoiding cases where an Animation would override all Transition effects or an Animator and a Transition on an individual fragment would both run. (b/149569323)
The enterTransition and exitTranstion of all fragments entering and exiting are now ran rather than only the last entering fragment and the first exiting fragment. (b/149344150)
Postponed fragments no longer get stuck at the CREATED state but instead move to STARTED with other fragments. (b/129035555)
Fixed an issue where FragmentManager would execute operations out of order when mixing a postponed re-ordered transaction and a non-reordered transaction. (b/147297731)
Popping multiple fragments simultaneously will no longer result in intermediate fragments being temporarily visible when postponing fragments. (b/37140383)
FragmentManager now returns the correct fragments when calling findFragmentById() or findFragmentByTag() from within the onAttachFragment() callback. (b/153082833)
Fragments no longer call onCreateView() on fragments being destroyed when the fragment replacing them is postponed. (b/143915710)
The error message when attempting to combine framework Transition and AndroidX Transition instances now mentions the fragment with the invalid transition. (b/155574969)

Behavior Changes

You can now call launch() on an ActivityResultLauncher in the onCreate() lifecycle method of a fragment. (b/161464278)
Calling registerForActivityResult() after onCreate() now throws an exception indicating that this is not allowed rather than silently failing to deliver results after a configuration change. (b/162255449)
FragmentActivity now uses the OnContextAvailableListener API introduced in Activity 1.2.0-alpha08 to restore the state of the FragmentManager. Any listeners added to subclasses of FragmentActivity will run after this listener. (I513da)

Bug Fixes

ActivityOptions passed through when using startIntentSenderForResult() are now respected. (b/162247961)

Known Issue

When using the new state manager, directly setting the visibility of the fragment’s root view after onViewCreated() and before onResume() results in the visibility you set being overridden by FragmentManager, who controls the visibility of the root view. As a workaround, you should always use the hide() and show() operations to change the visibility of your fragment. (b/164481490)

Version 1.3.0-alpha07

July 22, 2020

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.3.0-alpha07, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.3.0-alpha07, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.3.0-alpha07 are released. Version 1.3.0-alpha07 contains these commits.

New Features

FragmentScenario now supports setting an initial Lifecycle state of CREATED, STARTED, or RESUMED rather than always moving the Fragment to the RESUMED state. (b/159662750)
Added an alternative to the FragmentScenario API of onFragment in the form of the Kotlin reified extension method withFragment that allows you to return a value. Notably, it rethrows exceptions raised in the given block. (b/158697631)

Behavior Changes

FragmentScenario now uses setMaxLifecycle() to implement moveToState(), ensuring consistent behavior on all API levels and decoupling the Fragment’s state from the underlying Activity. (b/156527405)
The SavedStateRegistryOwner returned by ViewTreeSavedStateRegistryOwner is now tied to the fragment view’s Lifecycle. This ensures that it has its state saved and restore at the same time as the fragment’s view. (b/158503763)

Bug Fixes

Fragments now wait for the fragment’s view to be attached before calling ViewCompat.requestApplyInsets(), avoiding cases where the inset request was being dropped. (b/158095749)
Calling clearFragmentResultListener now properly clears the lifecycle observer. (b/159274993)

Version 1.3.0-alpha06

June 10, 2020

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.3.0-alpha06, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.3.0-alpha06, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.3.0-alpha06 are released. Version 1.3.0-alpha06 contains these commits.

New Features

The onAttachFragment() callback on FragmentActivity and Fragment have been deprecated. A new FragmentOnAttachListener has been added to provide a more flexible alternative, allowing delegation of onAttachFragment() to separate, testable listeners and support for adding a listener to FragmentManagers other than your direct child FragmentManager. (I06d3d)

Bug Fixes

Parent fragments now have their view state restored before their child fragments, fixing a visual ordering issue after a configuration change when a DialogFragment would show another DialogFragment as a child fragment. (b/157195715)
Fixed an issue where the UseRequireInsteadOfGet Lint check would not handle chained usages of the ?. and !! operators correctly. (b/157677616)

Version 1.3.0-alpha05

May 20, 2020

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.3.0-alpha05, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.3.0-alpha05, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.3.0-alpha05 are released. Version 1.3.0-alpha05 contains these commits.

New Features

Added support for ViewTreeViewModelStoreOwner from Lifecycle 2.3.0-alpha03, and ViewTreeSavedStateRegistryOwner from SavedState 1.1.0-alpha01 when using a View within a Fragment. (aosp/1297993, aosp/1300264)

API Changes

The setFragmentResult() and setFragmentResultListener() APIs now take a non-null Bundle and FragmentResultListener, respectively. To explicitly clear a previously set result or listener, use the new clearFragmentResult() and clearFragmentResultListener() methods. (b/155416778)
The setFragmentResultListener() Kotlin extensions that take a lambda are now marked as inline. (b/155323404)

Behavior Changes

The previously deprecated startActivityForResult(), startIntentSenderForResult(), and requestPermissions on Fragment now internally use ActivityResultRegistry, thus removing the restriction on using only the lower bits (below 0xFFFF) for your request codes when using those APIs. (b/155518741)

Documentation Updates

Expanded the documentation on the Fragment(@LayoutRes int) and DialogFragment(@LayoutRes int) constructors to clarify that they should be called from your subclasses’ no argument constructor when using the default FragmentFactory. (b/153042497)

New Features

Added support for passing results between two Fragments via new APIs on FragmentManager. This works for hierarchy fragments (parent/child), DialogFragments, and fragments in Navigation and ensures that results are only sent to your Fragment while it is at least STARTED. (b/149787344)

API Changes

The target fragment APIs have been deprecated. To pass data between fragments the new Fragment Result APIs should be used instead. (b/149787344)
The startActivityForResult()/onActivityResult() and requestPermissions()/onRequestPermissionsResult() APIs on Fragment have been deprecated. Please use the Activity Result APIs. (aosp/1290887)
Breaking change from Activity 1.2.0-alpha04: the prepareCall() method has been renamed to registerForActivityResult(). (aosp/1278717)

Bug Fixes

The fragment’s getViewLifecycleOwner() is now stopped before onSaveInstanceState() is called, mirroring the behavior of the fragment’s lifecycle. (b/154645875)
Calling setMenuVisibility(false) on a fragment now correctly changes the visibility of menus provided by its child fragments. (b/153593580)
Fixed an illegalStateException when adding a fragment to a DialogFragment’s view hierarchy with FragmentContainerView. (b/154366601)
The getDefaultViewModelProviderFactory() method on fragments no longer crashes when hosting your fragments outside of an activity. (b/153762914)

Version 1.3.0-alpha03

April 1, 2020

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.3.0-alpha03, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.3.0-alpha03, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.3.0-alpha03 are released. Version 1.3.0-alpha03 contains these commits.

API Changes

The prepareCall methods on Fragment are now final. (b/152439361)

Bug Fixes

Fixed a crash when using prepareCall from a fragment after a configuration change. (b/152137004)
Fixed an issue where shared element and exit transitions are ignored when using setTargetFragment(). (b/152023196)
From Fragment 1.2.4: Updated the Fragment ProGuard rules to allow obfuscation of kept fragments. (b/151605338)
From Fragment 1.2.4: Disabled the FragmentLiveDataObserve Lint rule on DialogFragment classes as their lifecycle and view lifecycle are always in sync, making it safe to use either this or viewLifecycleOwner when calling observe. (b/151765086)

Dependency Changes

Fragments depend on Activity 1.2.0-alpha03, which had significant improvements to the Activity Result API introduced in Activity 1.2.0-alpha02.

Version 1.3.0-alpha02

March 18, 2020

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.3.0-alpha02, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.3.0-alpha02, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.3.0-alpha02 are released. Version 1.3.0-alpha02 contains these commits.

New Features

Added support for the ActivityResultRegistry API introduced in Activity 1.2.0-alpha02 to handle the startActivityForResult()+onActivityResult() as well as requestPermissions()+onRequestPermissionsResult() flows without overriding methods in your Fragment in addition to providing hooks for testing these flows. See the updated Getting a Result from an Activity. (b/125158199)

API Changes

DialogFragment now provides a constructor that takes a @LayoutRes that indicates the layout that onCreateView() should inflate by default. (b/150327080)
The onActivityCreated() method is now deprecated. Code touching the fragment's view should be done in onViewCreated() (which is called immediately before onActivityCreated()) and other initialization code should be in onCreate(). To receive a callback specifically when the activity's onCreate() is complete, a LifeCycleObserver should be registered on the activity's Lifecycle in onAttach(), and removed once the onCreate() callback is received. (b/144309266)

Bug Fixes

From Fragment 1.2.3: Fixed a bug in DialogFragment that caused a StackOverflowError when calling getLayoutInflater() from within onCreateDialog(). (b/117894767, aosp/1258664)
From Fragment 1.2.3: Reduced the scope of Fragment’s included ProGuard rules to ensure that unused Fragment classes can be stripped. (b/149665169)

API Changes

The setRetainInstance() method on Fragments has been deprecated. With the introduction of ViewModels, developers have a specific API for retaining state that can be associated with Activities, Fragments, and Navigation graphs. This allows developers to use a normal, not retained Fragment and keep the specific state they want retained separate, avoiding a common source of leaks while maintaining the useful properties of a single creation and destruction of the retained state (namely, the constructor of the ViewModel and the onCleared() callback it receives). (b/143911815)
With the release of ViewPager2 1.0.0, the FragmentPagerAdapter and FragmentStatePagerAdapter classes for interacting with ViewPager have been deprecated. See Migrate from ViewPager to ViewPager2. (b/145132715)

Bug Fixes

Fragment ProGuard rules now correctly only keep the default constructors Fragment classes that are used rather than for all Fragment instances, fixing a regression introduced in Fragment 1.2.1. (b/149665169
The require___() Lint rules added in Fragment 1.2.2 no longer false positive on local variables that share the same name as the shadowed Kotlin property names (i.e., view). (b/149891163)
FragmentContainerView no longer throws an UnsupportedOperationException when using the layout preview in Android Studio. (b/149707833)
Fixed an issue where retained fragments that were added after the state is saved would not be continually recreated and then destroyed after each configuration change. (b/145832397)

Version 1.2.5

June 10, 2020

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.5, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.5, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.2.5 are released. Version 1.2.5 contains these commits.

New Lint checks

Lint suggests using the viewLifecycleOwner as the LifecycleOwner to calls into OnBackPressedDispatcher in onCreateView(), onViewCreated(), and onActivityCreated(). (b/142117657)
Added a new Lint check that confirms that you are using the correct debugImplementation when using the fragment-testing artifact. (b/141500106)
Fragments now suggest using the associated require___() methods for more descriptive error messages instead of checkNotNull(get___()), requireNonNull(get___()), or get___()!! for all of the Fragment APIs that include both a get and require equivalent. (aosp/1202883)

Bug Fixes

Fixed the Fragment ProGuard files to avoid R8 warnings (b/148963981)
Improved the existing Lint check suggesting using viewLifecycleOwner when using observe to also handle the livedata-ktx extension method version of observe. (b/148996309)

Fixed an issue where FragmentManager.findFragment() did not work with fragments added via the <fragment> tag. (b/147784323)
Fragments inflated using the <fragment> tag now always receive a call to onInflate() before onCreate() when in the layout. (aosp/1215856)
Calling toString() on a FragmentManager instance no longer throws a NullPointerException when the Activity is already destroyed. (b/148189412)

Dependency changes

Fragments 1.2.1 now depends on Lifecycle ViewModel SavedState 2.2.0.

Version 1.2.0

January 22, 2020

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.0, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.0, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.2.0 are released. Version 1.2.0 contains these commits.

Important changes since 1.1.0

FragmentContainerView: The FragmentContainerView is the strongly recommended container for dynamically added Fragments, replacing usage of FrameLayout or other layouts. It also supports the same class, android:name, and optional android:tag as the <fragment> tag, but uses a normal FragmentTransaction to add this initial fragment, instead of the custom code path used by <fragment>.
onDestroyView() timing: Fragments now wait for exit animations, exit framework transitions, and exit AndroidX transitions (when using Transition 1.3.0) to complete before calling onDestroyView().
Class based add() and replace(): Added new overloads of add() and replace() on FragmentTransaction that take a Class<? extends Fragment> and optional Bundle of arguments. These methods use your FragmentFactory to construct an instance of the Fragment to add. Kotlin extensions that use reified types (i.e, fragmentTransaction.replace<YourFragment>(R.id.container)) have also been added to fragment-ktx.
Lifecycle ViewModel SavedState Integration: SavedStateViewModelFactory is now the default factory used when using by viewModels(), by activityViewModels(), the ViewModelProvider constructor, or ViewModelProviders.of() with a Fragment.
New Lint checks: Added a new Lint check that ensures you are using getViewLifecycleOwner() when observing LiveData from onCreateView(), onViewCreated(), or onActivityCreated().
getFragmentManager() deprecation: The getFragmentManager() and requireFragmentManager() methods on Fragment have been deprecated and replaced with a single getParentFragmentManager() method, which returns the non-null FragmentManager the Fragment is added to (you can use isAdded() to determine if it is safe to call).
FragmentManager.enableDebugLogging() deprecation: The static FragmentManager.enableDebugLogging method has been deprecated. FragmentManager now respects Log.isLoggable() for the tag FragmentManager, allowing you to enable either DEBUG or VERBOSE logging without re-compiling your app.

Known Issues

Fragments referenced only via the class or android:name attribute on a FragmentContainerView are not kept by ProGuard automatically, requiring that you manually add a keep rule for each fragment class. (b/142601969)
When adding a NavHostFragment using class or android:name in XML with FragmentContainerView, you cannot use findNavController() in onCreate() of your Activity. (b/142847973)

Version 1.2.0-rc05

January 8, 2020

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.0-rc05, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.0-rc05, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.2.0-rc05 are released. Version 1.2.0-rc05 contains these commits.

Bug fixes

Fixed a regression in Fragment 1.2.0-rc04 when using the <fragment> tag which caused onViewCreated() to be called incorrectly during activity destruction. (b/146290333)
Fragments added with the <fragment> tag now properly have their non-config cleared even when they are only sometimes in the layout (i.e., only in your landscape layout). As a consequence, these Fragments are now correctly moved to CREATED even when not in your layout instead of being instantiated but never moving through any lifecycle methods. (b/145769287)

Version 1.2.0-rc04

December 18, 2019

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.0-rc04, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.0-rc04, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.2.0-rc04 are released. Version 1.2.0-rc04 contains these commits.

Bug fixes

Adjusted the animations for TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN, TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_CLOSE, and TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE to avoid visual issues. (b/145468417)

Version 1.2.0-rc03

December 4, 2019

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.0-rc03, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.0-rc03, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.2.0-rc03 are released. Version 1.2.0-rc03 contains these commits.

Bug fixes

Fixed an unintentional behavior change where Fragments who have been removed are still returned by findFragmentById() / findFragmentByTag() while their exit animations/transitions run. (b/143982969, aosp/1167585)
Child fragments are now correctly stopped before their parents when the containing activity calls onSaveInstanceState(). (b/144380645)
Fixed an issue where Views were incorrectly marked INVISIBLE after popping a hidden Fragment. (b/70793925)
Fragment shared element transitions now handle Views that have been rotated, scaled, etc. (b/142835261)

Documentation Updates

Clarified the deprecation documentation around setUserVisibleHint(). (b/143897055)
Improved the documentation on setFragmentFactory() and getFragmentFactory() to better indicate that setting a FragmentFactory will also affect child FragmentManagers. (aosp/1170095)

Dependency changes

Fragments now depends on Lifecycle 2.2.0-rc03, Lifecycle ViewModel SavedState 1.0.0-rc03, and Activity 1.1.0-rc03.

Version 1.2.0-rc02

November 7, 2019

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.0-rc02, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.0-rc02, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.2.0-rc02 are released. Version 1.2.0-rc02 contains these commits.

Bug fixes

When in Kotlin, the LintFix for using getViewLifecycleOwner() when observing LiveData from onCreateView(), onViewCreated(), or onActivityCreated() (introduced in Fragment 1.2.0-rc01) now uses the Kotlin property access syntax viewLifecycleOwner instead of getViewLifecycleOwner(). (aosp/1143821)

Version 1.2.0-rc01

October 23, 2019

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.0-rc01, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.0-rc01, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.2.0-rc01 are released. Version 1.2.0-rc01 contains these commits.

New features

FragmentContainerView now supports the class attribute in addition to android:name, mirroring the functionality of the <fragment> tag. (b/142722242)
Added a new Lint check that ensures you are using getViewLifecycleOwner() when observing LiveData from onCreateView(), onViewCreated(), or onActivityCreated(). (b/137122478)

Bug fixes

The onDismiss and onCancel callbacks on DialogFragment now guarantee that the DialogInterface passed to them is non-null and that getDialog() returns non-null when they are executed. (b/141974033)
FragmentContainerView now adds the Fragment defined by class or android:name as part of inflation, ensuring that findFragmentById() and findFragmentByTag() work immediately afterwards. (b/142520327)
Fixed an IllegalStateException in FragmentContainerView due to the state being saved. (b/142580713)
Fixed an UnsupportedOperationException in FragmentContainerView when the FragmentContainerView class is obfuscated. (b/142657034)

Known issues

Fragments referenced only via the class or android:name attribute on a FragmentContainerView are not kept by ProGuard automatically, requiring that you manually add a keep rule for each fragment class. We have disabled the Lint rule suggesting moving to FragmentContainerView until this is fixed via aapt2. (b/142601969)

Version 1.2.0-beta02

October 11, 2019

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.0-beta02, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.0-beta02, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.2.0-beta02 are released. Version 1.2.0-beta02 contains these commits.

Bug fixes

Fixed an issue where Fragment's onInflate() did not receive proper attributes from FragmentContainerView, breaking cases such as NavHostFragment. (b/142421837)

Version 1.2.0-beta01

October 9, 2019

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.0-beta01, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.0-beta01, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.2.0-beta01 are released. Version 1.2.0-beta01 contains these commits.

New features

FragmentContainerView adds support for adding an initial fragment with added support for the android:name and optional android:tag XML attributes. Unlike the <fragment> tag, FragmentContainerView uses a normal FragmentTransaction under the hood to add the initial fragment, allowing further FragmentTransaction operations on the FragmentContainerView and enables the usage of View Binding for the layout. (b/139830628, b/141177981)
Fragments now contains a Lint warning offering a quick fix to replace <fragment> with FragmentContainerView. (b/139830056)

Bug fixes

Fixed a ClassCastException when using androidx.transition. (b/140680619)
When using Transition 1.3.0-beta01, Fragments now wait for androidx.transition transitions (in addition to framework transitions and animations, which were fixed in Fragment 1.2.0-alpha03 and Fragment 1.2.0-alpha02, respectively) to finish before dispatching onDestroyView(). (aosp/1119841)
When using Transition 1.3.0-beta01, Fragments now properly cancel androidx.transition transitions before starting new transitions / animations on the same container. (aosp/1119841)
Fixed an issue on API 17 and lower when using androidx.transition transitions on the root view of your Fragment when using FragmentContainerView. (b/140361893)
The fragment-testing artifact now depends on AndroidX Test 1.2.0, fixing an incompatibility with the latest Espresso 3.2.0. (b/139100149)
Removed usage of Log.w in FragmentManager. (aosp/1126468)

Known issues

Fragment's onInflate() do not receive proper attributes from FragmentContainerView, breaking cases such as NavHostFragment. (b/142421837)

Version 1.2.0-alpha04

API changes

The getFragmentManager() and requireFragmentManager() methods on Fragment have been deprecated and replaced with a single getParentFragmentManager() method, which returns the non-null FragmentManager the Fragment is added to (you can use isAdded() to determine if it is safe to call). (b/140574496)
The static FragmentManager.enableDebugLogging method has been deprecated. FragmentManager now respects Log.isLoggable() for the tag FragmentManager, allowing you to enable either DEBUG or VERBOSE logging without re-compiling your app. (aosp/1116591)

Bug fixes

Fragments are now properly destroyed while exit animations on other fragments are running. (b/140574199)
Fixed an issue where Fragments would call Activity.findViewById() where before it did not. (aosp/1116431)

Version 1.2.0-alpha03

September 5, 2019

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.0-alpha03, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.0-alpha03, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.2.0-alpha03 are released. The commits included in this version can be found here.

Bug fixes

FragmentContainerView now properly reverses the draw order when popping fragments off the back stack. (b/139104187)
Fixed an issue where the wrong animation would run when both popping a fragment and adding a new fragment at the same time. (b/111659726)
Fragments now wait for transitions (in addition to animations, which was fixed in Fragment 1.2.0-alpha02) to finish before dispatching onDestroyView(). (b/138741697)

Version 1.2.0-alpha02

August 7, 2019

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.0-alpha02, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.0-alpha02, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:11.2.0-alpha02 is released. The commits included in this version can be found here.

New features

SavedStateViewModelFactory is now the default factory used when using by viewModels(), by activityViewModels(), the ViewModelProvider constructor, or ViewModelProviders.of() with a Fragment. (b/135716331)
The default animations when using TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN, TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_CLOSE, TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE with setTransition on a FragmentTransaction have been updated to match the animations used by activities on Android 10 devices. (aosp/1012812, aosp/1014730)

API changes

Introduces FragmentContainerView as the strongly recommended container for dynamically added Fragments, replacing usage of FrameLayout, etc. as it fixes animation z-ordering issues and window insets dispatching to Fragments. (b/37036000, aosp/985243, b/136494650)
Added a static FragmentManager.findFragment(View) method to retrieve the containing Fragment from a view inflated by a fragment. A Kotlin extension is also available in fragment-ktx. (aosp/1090757)
Added new overloads of add() and replace() on FragmentTransaction that take a Class<? extends Fragment> and optional Bundle of arguments. These methods use your FragmentFactory to construct an instance of the Fragment to add. Kotlin extension that use reified types (i.e, fragmentTransaction.replace<YourFragment>(R.id.container)) have also been added to fragment-ktx. (b/126124987)
@MainThread annotations have been added to Fragment lifecycle callbacks. (b/127272564)
The breadcrumb title related APIs on FragmentTransaction and FragmentManager.BackStackEntry have been deprecated. (b/138252944)
The setTransitionStyle method on FragmentTransaction has been deprecated. (aosp/1011537)
Many of the methods in FragmentManager are no longer abstract. FragmentManager itself remains abstract and should not be directly instantiated or extended; you should continue to only get an existing instance from getSupportFragmentManager(), getChildFragmentManager(), etc.

Bug fixes

From Fragment 1.1.0-rc04: Fragments now correctly cancel postponed transitions on Fragments have been popped. (b/138251858)
From Fragment 1.1.0-rc03: Fixed an issue where calling postponeEnterTransition() with a timeout more than once would not cancel previous timeouts. (b/137797118)
From Fragment 1.1.0-rc02: Fixed a crash in FragmentPagerAdapter and FragmentStatePagerAdapter when removing the current item. (b/137209870)
Fragments now wait for animations to finish before dispatching onDestroyView(). (b/136110528)
Fragment animations from child fragments and their descendants are now properly handled when animating the parent Fragment. (b/116675313)
Fixed a NullPointerException when using shared element transitions and combining a pop and add operation. (b/120507394)
Added a workaround to IllegalStateExceptions when using FragmentPagerAdapter and FragmentStatePagerAdapter in Robolectric tests. (b/137201343)

Version 1.2.0-alpha01

July 2, 2019

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.0-alpha01, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.0-alpha01, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.2.0-alpha01 are released. The commits included in this version can be found here.

New features

FragmentManager now calls requestApplyInsets() after attaching the Fragment’s view and directly before calling onViewCreated(), ensuring that your view always has the correct insets. (b/135945162)

Bug fixes

Fixed a NullPointerException when popping a FragmentTransaction that used setPrimaryNavigationFragment() before replace(). (b/134673465)

Version 1.1.0

September 5, 2019

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.1.0, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.1.0, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.1.0 are released. The commits included in this version can be found here.

Important Changes since 1.0.0

fragment-testing: The fragment-testing artifact provides a FragmentScenario class for testing a fragment in isolation. See Test your app’s fragments documentation for more details.
FragmentFactory: You can now set a FragmentFactory on a FragmentManager to manage the creation of fragment instances, removing the strict requirement to have a no-argument constructor.
Kotlin Property Delegates for ViewModels: The fragment-ktx artifact now contains two Kotlin property delegates: by viewModels() for accessing ViewModels associated with the individual fragment and by activityViewModels() for accessing ViewModels scoped to the activity.
Max Lifecycle: You can now set a max Lifecycle state for a Fragment by calling setMaxLifecycle() on a FragmentTransaction. This replaces the now deprecated setUserVisibleHint(). FragmentPagerAdapter and FragmentStatePagerAdapter have a new constructor that allows you to switch to the new behavior.
FragmentActivity LayoutId constructor: Subclasses of FragmentActivity can now optionally call into a constructor on FragmentActivity that takes an R.layout ID, indicating the layout that should be set as the content view as an alternative to calling setContentView() in onCreate(). This does not change the requirement that your subclass have a no-argument constructor.
Fragment LayoutId constructor: Subclasses of Fragment can now optionally call into a constructor on Fragment that takes an R.layout ID, indicating the layout that should be used for this fragment as an alternative to overriding onCreateView(). The inflated layout can be configured in onViewCreated().
Postpone with a timeout: A new overload of postponeEnterTransition() has been added that takes a timeout.

API changes

Breaking change: the previously deprecated FragmentFactory instantiate method that took a Bundle has been removed. aosp/953856
Breaking change: The RESUME_ONLY_CURRENT_FRAGMENT and USE_SET_USER_VISIBLE_HINT constants in FragmentPagerAdapter and FragmentStatePagerAdapter have been renamed to BEHAVIOR_RESUME_ONLY_CURRENT_FRAGMENT and BEHAVIOR_SET_USER_VISIBLE_HINT, respectively. aosp/954782

Bug fixes

Fragments that have had their lifecycle capped via setMaxLifecycle() no longer get resumed before reaching their final state. b/131557151
When using setMaxLifecycle(Lifecycle.State.CREATED), Fragments will properly have their view destroyed. aosp/954180

Version 1.1.0-alpha07

April 25, 2019

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.1.0-alpha07, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.1.0-alpha07, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.1.0-alpha07 are released. The commits included in this version can be found here.

New features

API Changes

moveToState(STARTED) on FragmentScenario can now only be called on API 24+ devices. (b/129880016)

Behavior Changes

As a consequence of (b/129907905), fragments on the back stack will not get a callback to onCreateView() when the hosting activity is recreated. onCreateView() will now only be called when the fragment becomes visible (i.e., the back stack is popped).

Bug fixes

Fixed an issue when using a <fragment> tag in XML and the contentLayoutId constructor of FragmentActivity or AppCompatActivity. (b/129907905)
Corrected an issue where fragments on the back stack would not be moved to at least CREATED after a configuration change, causing ViewModels and child retained fragments to not be properly disposed. (b/129593351)

Fragments no longer enforce LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE for animations. If you specifically need a hardware layer animation, please set it as part of your animation. (b/129486478)

Version 1.1.0-alpha06

April 3, 2019

androidx.fragment:fragment:1.1.0-alpha06, androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.1.0-alpha06, and androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.1.0-alpha06 are released. The commits included in this version can be found here.

New features

Exceptions thrown by FragmentManager now include the Fragment’s name in the message. (b/67759402)

API Changes

Fragment and FragmentActivity now contain a second constructor that takes a @LayoutRes int, which replaces the previous behavior of annotating your class with @ContentView. This approach works in both app and library modules. (b/128352521)
FragmentActivity’s onActivityResult() is now properly marked as @CallSuper. (b/127971684)
The FragmentFactory’s instantiate method that takes an argument Bundle has been deprecated and apps should use the new instantiate overload that does not take a Bundle. (b/128836103)

New features

@ContentView annotation lookups are now cached (b/123709449)

Behavior changes

Calling remove(), hide(), show(), detach(), and setPrimaryNavigationFragment() with a Fragment attached to a different FragmentManager now throws an IllegalStateException rather than silently failing (aosp/904301)

Bug fixes

onNewIntent for FragmentActivity is now correctly marked with @CallSuper (b/124120586)
Fixed an issue where DialogFragment’s onDismiss() could be called twice when using getDialog().dismiss() or getDialog().cancel() (b/126563750)

Version 1.1.0-alpha01

November 5, 2018

This is the first release of the fragment-testing artifact and FragmentScenario which is built on top of the androidx.test:core APIs. See the Fragment testing documentation for more details.

New features

New FragmentScenario class for testing Fragments in isolation.
You can now set a FragmentFactory on any FragmentManager to control how new Fragment instances are instantiated.
Added a new by viewModels() Kotlin property delegate for retrieving ViewModels from a Fragment.
Pending input events (such as clicks) are now canceled in a Fragment’s onStop().

API changes

Significantly expanded the nullability annotations across the Fragment API surface.

Bug fixes

Fix an issue which caused Fragment operations to fail from within LiveData (b/77944637)

Known issues

Target Fragments cannot be accessed after a Fragment has been removed from the FragmentManager.
fragment-testing depends on androidx.test:core:1.0.0-beta01 instead of the correct androidx.test:core:1.0.0.
