## Glance Wear Version 1.0

### Version 1.0.0-alpha22

November 04, 2026

`androidx.glance.wear:wear:1.0.0-alpha22`, `androidx.glance.wear:wear-core:1.0.0-alpha22`, and `androidx.glance.wear:wear-tooling-preview:1.0.0-alpha22` are released. Version 1.0.0-alpha22 contains [these commits](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+log/3566803898b060d7136357220affc9ece8236019..a021adf44194ae86e596ae25ca43d5e4e18f6926/glance/wear).

**API Changes**

- Glance Wear now throws `WearWidgetContentTooLargeException` with actionable guidance when a widget's content is too large to be sent to the host (for example due to large bitmaps in `RemoteImage`), instead of failing with an obscure Binder error. ([I9eb1c](https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/q/I9eb1cf1f99f4e4162ac5125d1827f66f40bf04e5))
- Added `WearWidgetConfigExtras` with helper to extract widget configuration parameters and moved constants from `GlanceWearWidget` to `WearWidgetConfigExtras`. ([I70561](https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/q/I7056161b8fabeb8cb173e9ed03034e5165ecaa97))
- Added `GlanceWearProfiles.createWearWidgetsProfile(WearWidgetParams)` to create a profile configured with the host-supported operations. ([I51f28](https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/q/I51f284bc74acdcb5a5cac7eb54f0004562b38598))
- Exposed `horizontalPaddingDp`, `verticalPaddingDp`, and `cornerRadiusDp` in `WearWidgetParams`. ([I19925](https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/q/I19925bc109768e7b075279fade17e4d9651e5ced))

**Additional changes**

- Changes to use newly aligned parameter names and order across Remote Compose library.([I2e164](https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/q/I2e16470215ea1568e5667056d44f6e17db4310f1))
- Wear Widgets can now use the `onTouchDown`, `onTouchUp` and `onTouchCancel` modifiers on all Wear OS devices that support widgets, not only on devices with the latest widget renderer. Use them to show press feedback, such as a pressed state on a button. ([I6dce7](https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/q/I6dce7d3fa15ef09258f4411406270e2cb6646911))
- Added the `MODIFIER_TOUCH_DOWN`, `MODIFIER_TOUCH_UP` and `MODIFIER_TOUCH_CANCEL` operations to the Wear Widgets profile (`GlanceWearProfiles`), so widgets can use `onTouchDown`, `onTouchUp` and `onTouchCancel` on hosts that support them. ([Id4a9a](https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/q/Id4a9a4520d6f123af811dc4b715e4d3fa409ab98))

- Changed the default value of `useSafeFallbackRendererVersion` in `WearWidgetPreview` from `true` to `false` so previews render with the latest renderer version by default. ([Ied6b9](https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/q/Ied6b9490e4ebdc068dd84027cac798dbcf47543e))
