Major features of 1.0.0

The androidx.hilt:hilt-navigation-compose artifact provides APIs that allow users to get a @HiltViewModel annotated ViewModel from a Navigation back stack entry within a Compose application using :navigation-compose.

The function hiltViewModel() returns an existing ViewModel or creates a new one scoped to the current navigation graph present on the NavController back stack. The function can optionally take a NavBackStackEntry to scope the ViewModel to a parent back stack entry.

Version 1.0.0-rc01

December 15, 2021

androidx.hilt:hilt-navigation-compose:1.0.0-rc01 is released with no changes since 1.0.0-beta01. Version 1.0.0-rc01 contains these commits.

API Changes

Version 1.0.0-alpha03

June 16, 2021

androidx.hilt:hilt-navigation-compose:1.0.0-alpha03 is released. Version 1.0.0-alpha03 contains these commits.

API Changes

  • The hiltViewModel() method now aligns with the viewModel() API changes in Lifecycle-ViewModel-Compose 1.0.0-alpha07 and now takes an optional ViewModelStoreOwner parameter, rather than having a no argument version and one that takes only a NavBackStackEntry. This allows you to continue to use hiltViewModel() to access the default owner provided by LocalViewModelStoreOwner or use hiltViewModel(navBackStackEntry) or another ViewModelStoreOwner to specify any specific owner. (I2628d)

Version 1.0.0-alpha02

May 18, 2021

androidx.hilt:hilt-navigation-compose:1.0.0-alpha02 is released. Version 1.0.0-alpha02 contains these commits.

API Changes

Compose Compatibility

  • androidx.hilt:hilt-navigation-compose:1.0.0-alpha02 is only compatible with Compose version 1.0.0-beta07 and above.

Version 1.0.0-beta01

March 10, 2021

androidx.hilt:hilt-*:1.0.0-beta01 is released. Version 1.0.0-beta01 contains these commits.

January 27, 2021

androidx.hilt:hilt-*:1.0.0-alpha03 is released. Version 1.0.0-alpha03 contains these commits.

New Features

  • Provide APIs for retrieving @HiltViewModel annotated ViewModel from a Navigation NavBackStackEntry. The artifact hilt-navigation-fragment offers a hiltNavGraphViewModels Kotlin extension while hilt-navigation exposes a HiltViewModelFactory factory method that takes in a NavBackStackEntry as argument and returns a ViewModelProvider.Facctory that can be used with ViewModelProvider or other View Model retrieving APIs, such as Compose’s viewModel() function: viewModel(HiltViewModelFactory(AmbientContext.current, backStackEntry)). (I00e67)

API Changes

  • Replace @WorkerInject with @HiltWorker. @HiltWorker is now a type annotation and requires the usage of @AssistedInject in the constructor. (Ic2f15)
  • Deprecate @ViewModelInject. Equivalent functionality is now offered by @HiltViewModel, which is now part of the core Hilt Android APIs. (I36a41)

Bug Fixes

  • Fix an issue where AndroidX Hilt extension Modules would not get correctly picked up by Hilt causing Workers to not be available for creation. (I3181c, b/159540434)
