is released. Version 2.9.0-alpha01 contains these commits.
Kotlin Multiplatform
lifecycle-testing
is now KMP compatible. (Iea41e)- Add support for
linuxArm64
kotlin multiplatform target (I139d3, b/338268719)
New Features
- A new
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-testing
KMP artifact is available that provides aViewModelScenario
class for testing ViewModels in isolation, with support foronCleared
(all platforms) andSavedStateHandle
(Android only). (337f68d, c9b3409, 9799a95c, b/264602919) - Creating a
ViewModel
withViewModelProvider
is now thread safe;@MainThread
annotations have been removed. (Ifd978, b/237006831)
API Changes
- Add the
CreationExtras.Key()
factory function to simplify the creation of anonymousCreationExtras.Key
objects. (I970ee) CreationExtras
now includes map-like operator overloads to enable idiomatic manipulation of content in Kotlin. It allows the use ofin
,+=
, and+
withCreationExtras

is released. Version 2.8.4 contains these commits.
Bug Fixes
LiveData.asFlow()
now correctly handles cases where the returned Flow is immediately completed after receiving a value already set on theLiveData
(for example, when usingtake(1)
). (I9c566)Lifecycle*Effect
completion is now idempotent (i.e., if theonStopOrDispose
was called because of the Lifecycle being stopped, it won’t be called a second time upon disposal unless the Lifecycle goes back up toSTARTED
again). (I5f607, b/352364595)
Version 2.8.3

errors when using Lifecycle 2.8.X with Compose 1.6.X or earlier - you can now use Lifecycle 2.8.2 with any version of Compose without any workarounds required. (aosp/3105647, b/336842920) ViewModelProvider
will no longer crash when mixing previous versions ofcompileOnly
Lifecycle dependencies with versions 2.8+, fixing issues with libraries such as LeakCanary. (I80383, b/341792251)
Version 2.8.1
May 29, 2024
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.8.1
is released. Version 2.8.1 contains these commits.
Bug Fixes
lifecycle-viewmodel-compose
now only has a common dependency oncompose-runtime
, removing its common dependency oncompose-ui
. The Android artifact retains itscompose-ui
for compatibility. (aosp/3079334, b/339562627)ViewModel
’ssaveable
integration using property delegates now uses the class name as part of the auto-generated key, avoiding conflicts if multiple classes use the sameSavedStateHandle
. (aosp/3063463)
Version 2.8.0
May 14, 2024
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.8.0
is released. Version 2.8.0 contains these commits.
Important changes since 2.7.0
LocalLifecycleOwner
has been moved from Compose UI tolifecycle-runtime-compose
so that its Compose-based helper APIs can be used outside of Compose UI.- The
lifecycle-runtime-compose
artifact now contains thedropUnlessResumed
anddropUnlessStarted
APIs which allow you to drop click or other events that occur even after theLifecycleOwner
has dropped below the givenLifecycle.State
. For example, this can be used with Navigation Compose to avoid handling click events after a transition to another screen has already begun:onClick: () -> Unit = dropUnlessResumed { navController.navigate(NEW_SCREEN) }
ViewModel.viewModelScope
is now an overridable constructor parameter, allowing you to inject your own dispatcher andSupervisorJob()
or to override the default by using thebackgroundScope
available withinrunTest
. (I2817c, b/264598574)class MyViewModel( // Make Dispatchers.Main the default, rather than Dispatchers.Main.immediate viewModelScope: CoroutineScope = Dispatchers.Main + SupervisorJob() ) : ViewModel(viewModelScope) { // Use viewModelScope as before, without any code changes } // Allows overriding the viewModelScope in a test fun Test() = runTest { val viewModel = MyViewModel(backgroundScope) }
ViewModel
has been rewritten in Kotlin and now usesAutoClosable
instead ofCloseable
. It now supports addingAutoCloseable
objects with akey
that allows retrieving them viagetCloseable()
.Calling
LifecycleStartEffect
andLifecycleResumeEffect
without a key is now an error, following the same convention as theDisposableEffect
API that these APIs mirror.Deprecated
LiveDataReactiveStreams.toPublisher(lifecycleOwner, liveData)
in favor ofLiveData.toPublisher(lifecycleOwner)
.The
lifecycle-livedata-core-ktx
kotlin extensions have now been moved to thelifecycle-livedata-core
module.The
NullSafeMutableLiveData
has been refactored to avoid many false positives.
Lifecycle Kotlin Multiplatform Compatibility
The core Lifecycle APIs in Lifecycle
, LifecycleOwner
, LifecycleObserver
, Lifecycle.State
, Lifecycle.Event
, and LifecycleRegistry
are now shipped in artifacts compatible with Kotlin Multiplatform.
Artifacts impacted:
lifecycle-common
moves most APIs tocommon
and supports jvm and iOS in addition to Android.lifecycle-runtime
moves most APIs tocommon
and supports jvm and iOS in addition to Android.lifecycle-runtime-ktx
is now empty, with all APIs being moved intolifecycle-runtime
.lifecycle-runtime-compose
moves all APIs tocommon
and ships an Android artifact, matching the multiplatform support ofandroidx.compose
.
ViewModel Kotlin Multiplatform Compatibility
The lifecycle-viewmodel
artifact and APIs like ViewModel
, ViewModelStore
, ViewModelStoreOwner
, and ViewModelProvider
are now shipped in artifacts compatible with Kotlin Multiplatform.
To accommodate this change, methods such as those on ViewModelProvider
that took a java.lang.Class<T>
now have an equivalent method that takes a kotlin.reflect.KClass<T>
.
Binary compatibility on Android has been maintained, but there are a few notable changes when comparing the Android API surface to the common API surface:
- Constructing a
ViewModelProvider
instance is now done through theViewModelProvider.create()
methods rather than directly calling its constructor. ViewModelProvider.NewInstanceFactory
andViewModelProvider.AndroidViewModelFactory
are only available on Android.- Custom Factories are recommended to extend from
ViewModelProvider.Factory
and use thecreate
method that takes aCreationExtras
or use theviewModelFactory
Kotlin DSL.
- Custom Factories are recommended to extend from
- Using
ViewModelProvider
without a custom factory on non-JVM platforms will result in anUnsupportedOperationException
. On JVM platforms, compatibility is preserved by using the no-args ViewModel constructor if a custom factory is not provided. viewModelScope
will fallback to anEmptyCoroutineContext
in platforms whereDispatchers.Main
is not available (e.g., Linux).
Artifacts impacted:
lifecycle-viewmodel
moves most APIs tocommon
and supports jvm and iOS in addition to Android.lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx
is now empty, with all APIs being moved intolifecycle-viewmodel
.lifecycle-viewmodel-compose
moves all APIs tocommon
and ships an Android artifact, matching the multiplatform support ofandroidx.compose
.
Behavior Changes
InitializerViewModelFactory
(includingviewModelFactory
builder function) will now throw anIllegalArgumentException
if ainitializer
with the sameclazz: KClass<VM : ViewModel>
has already been added. (Ic3a36)
Known Issues
lifecycle-*:2.8.0
requires a minimum Compose version of 1.7.0-alpha05 (b/336842920).
Version 2.8.0-rc01
May 1, 2024
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.8.0-rc01
is released. Version 2.8.0-rc01 contains these commits.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the Baseline Profile for
lifecycle-common
classes was not properly packaged. These are now packaged in thelifecycle-runtime
AAR. (aosp/3038274, b/322382422) - Fixed an unintentional ordering change in how
AutoCloseable
instances attached to a ViewModel are cleared - the previous order ofaddCloseable(String, AutoCloseable)
, thenaddClosable(AutoCloseable)
, thenonCleared()
has been restored. (aosp/3041632) - Improve the default creation behavior for
viewModelScope
for native and JVM Desktop environments. (aosp/3039221)
External Contribution
- Thanks Victor Kropp for improving the checking for the main thread on JVM Desktop. (aosp/3037116)

Version 2.8.0-alpha01
January 24, 2024
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.8.0-alpha01
is released. Version 2.8.0-alpha01 contains these commits.
New Features
ViewModel
now supports addingCloseable
objects with akey
that allows retrieving them viagetCloseable()
. (I3cf63)
Version 2.7
Version 2.7.0
January 10, 2024
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.7.0
is released. Version 2.7.0 contains these commits.
Important changes since 2.6.0
TestLifecycleOwner
now includes a suspending functionsetCurrentState()
which ensures that the state change and allLifecycleObserver
callbacks are completed before returning. Notably, unlike setting thecurrentState
property directly, this does not userunBlocking
, making it safe to use within a coroutine such as one provided byrunTest
.- The
LiveData
extensions ofmap
andswitchMap
now mirror the behavior ofdistinctUntilChanged
- if theLiveData
has avalue
set, themap
/switchMap
function will be immediately called to populate thevalue
of the returnedLiveData
. This ensures that the initial value will be set as part of the first composition (when used withobserveAsState()
), but does not change the observation behavior - updates values from the sourceLiveData
will still only apply once you start observing theLiveData
. - This release fixes an issue where
SavedStateHandle
would not properly restore customParcelable
classes after process death and recreation. Due to type information that is lost by the Android framework, arrays of custom Parcelables require additional work (manually creating a typed array of the right type) and the documentation onget
,getLiveData
, andgetStateFlow
now specifically calls this limitation out. - The proguard keep rules associated with
LifecycleObserver
have been removed. This means that proguarded code that wishes to use APIs via reflection (such as using the long since deprecated@OnLifecycleEvent
annotation) will need to provide their own keep rules for their specific use case.
Lifecycle Event Observability
- As an alternative to using a
LifecycleEventObserver
, you can now observe aFlow
ofLifecycle.Event
via theLifecycle.asFlow()
extension method. - Jetpack Compose users can now use
LifecycleEventEffect
to run Compose side effects based onLifecycle.Event
.
@Composable
fun HomeScreen(viewModel: HomeViewModel = viewModel()) {
LifecycleEventEffect(Lifecycle.Event.ON_RESUME) {
viewModel.refreshData()
}
// …
}
- Jetpack Compose users can use
LifecycleStartEffect
andLifecycleResumeEffect
to handle pairs of events - started to stopped and resumed to paused, respectively. This API mirrors the one found inDisposableEffect
and is suitable for cases where the change being made when the state is going up needs to be reversed when going back down.
fun HomeScreen(viewModel: HomeViewModel = viewModel()) {
LifecycleStartEffect(viewModel) {
val timeTracking = viewModel.startTrackingTimeOnScreen()
onStopOrDispose {
timeTracking.stopTrackingTimeOnScreen()
}
}
// …
}
See Run code on lifecycle events for more information.
Lifecycle State Observability
- The current
Lifecycle.State
can now be observed via theLifecycle.currentStateFlow
property, which returns aStateFlow
where thevalue
is the currentLifecycle.State
. - Jetpack Compose users can use the
Lifecycle.currentStateAsState()
extension to directly exposeLifecycle.State
as ComposeState
. This is equivalent (and a shorter alternative) tolifecycle.currentStateFlow.collectAsState()
.
See Collect lifecycle state with flows for more information.

October 18, 2023
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.7.0-alpha03
is released. Version 2.7.0-alpha03 contains these commits.
New Features
lifecycle-runtime-testing
now contains a new Lint check to avoid setting theLifecycle.State
of theTestLifecycleOwner
by using thecurrentState
field when inside of a coroutine. The Lint check now suggests the suspendingsetCurrentState
which allows setting theLifecycle.State
without blocking. (Icf728, b/297880630)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue with
LiveData.switchMap
where returning the sameLiveData
instance both on the initial call and a subsequent call would prevent theLiveData
instance from being added as a source. (Ibedcba7)
Version 2.7.0-alpha02
September 6, 2023
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.7.0-alpha02
is released. Version 2.7.0-alpha02 contains these commits.
New Features
TestLifecycleOwner
now includes the suspending functionsetCurrentState()
to give users the option of usingTestLifecycleOwner
from within a coroutine such as one provided byrunTest
. (I329de, b/259344129)
API Changes
- All files from the
lifecycle-livedata-ktx
modules have been moved into the mainlifecycle-livedata
module. (I10c6f, b/274800183)
Behavior Changes
- The
LiveData.map()
andLiveData.switchMap()
extensions now sets thevalue
of the returnedLiveData
if the previousLiveData
has had a value set on it, ensuring that using the resulting LiveData in Jetpack Compose has the right state on the initial composition. (I91d2b, b/269479952) ViewModel
'saddCloseable()
now immediately closes theCloseable
if theViewModel
has already received a call toonCleared()
. (I4712e, b/280294730)
Bug Fixes
- From Lifecycle
2.6.2
: Fixed an issue whereSavedStateHandle
would not correctly be restored after process death if the state was restored,save()
was called without actually saving the state in the parentSavedStateRegistry
, and then the state was restored again. This fixes the interaction betweenrememberSaveable
and Navigation Compose’sNavHost
. (aosp/2729289)
Version 2.7.0-alpha01
July 26, 2023
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.7.0-alpha01
is released. Version 2.7.0-alpha01 contains these commits.
API Changes
Lifecycle.State
is now Compose-observable viaLifecycle.currentStateFlow
, which returns aStateFlow
where thevalue
is the currentLifecycle.State
. (Ib212d, b/209684871)Lifecycle.Event
s can now able to be observed as aFlow
withLifecycle.asFlow().
(If2c0f, b/176311030)LifecycleResumeEffect
API has been added to run ComposeSideEffect
s based on bothLifecycle.Event.ON_RESUME
andLifecycle.Event.ON_PAUSE
event callbacks. (I60386, b/235529345)LifecycleStartEffect
API has been added to run ComposeSideEffect
s based onLifecycle.Event.ON_START
andLifecycle.Event.ON_STOP
event callbacks. (I5a8d1, b/235529345)LifecycleEventEffect
API has been added to run ComposeSideEffect
s based onLifecycle.Event
. (Ic9794, b/235529345)Lifecycle.collectAsState()
extension has been added to directly exposeLifecycle.State
as ComposeState
. This is equivalent (and a shorter alternative) tolifecycle.currentStateFlow.collectAsState()
. (I11015, b/235529345)
Bug Fixes
- The
LiveData.distinctUntilChanged()
extension now sets thevalue
of the returnedLiveData
if the previousLiveData
has had a value set on it. This does not change the observation behavior - updated values from the sourceLiveData
will still only apply once you start observing theLiveData
returned fromdistinctUntilChanged()
. (Ib482f) - The proguard keep rules associated with
LifecycleObserver
have been removed. This means that proguarded code that wishes to use APIs via reflection will need to provide their own keep rules for their specific use case. (Ia12fd)

Important changes since 2.5.0
LiveData
now includes a newisInitialized
property that indicates whether an explicit value has ever been set on theLiveData
, allowing you to distinguish betweenliveData.value
returningnull
because no value has ever been set or an explicitnull
value.MediatorLiveData
now includes a constructor to set an initial value.- Added a new extension on
StateFlow
andFlow
ofcollectAsStateWithLifecycle()
that collect from flows and represents its latest value as Compose State in a lifecycle-aware manner. Lifecycle.launchWhenX
methods andLifecycle.whenX
methods have been deprecated as the use of a pausing dispatcher can lead to wasted resources in some cases. It is recommended to useLifecycle.repeatOnLifecycle
. For more information about one-time suspending work, please see this explanation on why this is inherently unsafe.- Kotlin Conversion - A large number of Lifecycle classes have been converted to Kotlin. All converted classes still retain their binary compatibility with previous versions. The following classes have source incompatible changes for classes written in Kotlin:
ViewTreeLifecycleOwner
,LiveDataReactiveStreams
,HasDefaultViewModelProviderFactory
,ViewTreeViewModelStoreOwner

Kotlin Conversions
LifecycleOwner
is now written in Kotlin. This is a source incompatible change for classes written in Kotlin - they must now override thelifecycle
property rather than implementing the previousgetLifecycle()
function. (I75b4b, b/240298691)ViewModelStoreOwner
is now in Kotlin. This is a source incompatible change for classes written in Kotlin - they must now override theviewModelStore
property rather than implementing the previousgetViewModelStore()

androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.6.0-alpha05
is released. Version 2.6.0-alpha05 contains these commits.
Kotlin Conversions
Transformations
is now written in Kotlin. This is a source incompatible change for those classes written in Kotlin that were directly using syntax such asTransformations.map
- Kotlin code must now use the Kotlin extension method syntax that was previously only available when usinglifecycle-livedata-ktx
. When using the Java programming language, the versions of these methods that take anandroidx.arch.core.util.Function
method are deprecated and replaced with the versions that take a KotlinFunction1
. This change maintains binary compatibility. (I8e14f)ViewTreeViewModelStoreOwner
is now written in Kotlin. This is a source incompatible change for those classes written in Kotlin - you must now directly import and use the Kotlin extension methods onView
ofandroidx.lifecycle.setViewTreeViewModelStoreOwner
andandroidx.lifecycle.findViewTreeViewModelStoreOwner
to set and find a previously set owner. This is binary compatible and remains source compatible for implementations written in the Java programming language. (Ia06d8, Ib22d8, b/240298691)- The
HasDefaultViewModelProviderFactory
interface is now written in Kotlin. This is a source incompatible change for classes written in Kotlin - they must now override thedefaultViewModelProviderFactory
anddefaultViewModelCreationExtras
properties rather than implementing the previous corresponding functions. (Iaed9c, b/240298691) Observer
is now written in Kotlin. ItsonChanged()
method now uses the namevalue
for its parameter. (Iffef2, I4995e, b/240298691)AndroidViewModel

API Changes
- The
collectAsStateWithLifecycle()
APIs oflifecycle-runtime-compose
are no longer in experimental status. (I09d42, b/258835424) Lifecycle.launchWhenX
methods andLifecycle.whenX
methods have been deprecated as the use of a pausing dispatcher can lead to wasted resources in some cases. It is recommended to useLifecycle.repeatOnLifecycle
. (Iafc54, b/248302832)
Kotlin Conversions
ViewTreeLifecycleOwner
is now written in Kotlin. This is a source incompatible change for those classes written in Kotlin - you must now directly import and use the Kotlin extension methods onView
ofandroidx.lifecycle.setViewTreeLifecycleOwner
andandroidx.lifecycle.findViewTreeLifecycleOwner
to set and find a previously set owner. This replaces the previous Kotlin extension inlifecycle-runtime-ktx
. This is binary compatible and remains source compatible for implementations written in the Java programming language. (I8a77a, I5234e, b/240298691)LiveDataReactiveStreams
is now written in Kotlin. The Kotlin extensions previously inlifecycle-reactivestreams-ktx
have been moved into thelifecycle-reactivestreams
module and have become the primary surface for code written in Kotlin. This is a source incompatible change for code written in Kotlin if you were not already using the Kotlin extension method APIs. (I2b1b9, I95d22, b/240298691)DefaultLifecycleObserver

is released. Version 2.6.0-alpha01 contains these commits.
New Features
- Added a new extension on
StateFlow
andFlow
ofcollectAsStateWithLifecycle
that collect from flows and represents its latest value as Compose State in a lifecycle-aware manner. The flow is collected and the new emission is set to the State's value when the lifecycle is at least in a certainLifecycle.State

Version 2.5.0
June 29, 2022
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.5.0
is released. Version 2.5.0 contains these commits.
Important changes since 2.4.0
SavedStateHandle
now offers agetStateFlow()
API that returns a KotlinStateFlow
for monitoring value changes as an alternative to usingLiveData
.ViewModel CreationExtras - when writing a custom
ViewModelProvider.Factory
, it is no longer required to extendAndroidViewModelFactory
orAbstractSavedStateViewModelFactory
to gain access to anApplication
orSavedStateHandle
, respectively. Instead, these fields are provided to everyViewModelProvider.Factory
subclass asCreationExtras
via the new overload ofcreate
:create(Class<T>, CreationExtras)
. These extras are provided automatically by your Activity or Fragment when using Activity1.5.0
and Fragment1.5.0
, respectively.class CustomFactory : ViewModelProvider.Factory { override fun <T : ViewModel> create(modelClass: Class<T>, extras: CreationExtras): T { return when (modelClass) { HomeViewModel::class -> { // Get the Application object from extras val application = checkNotNull(extras[ViewModelProvider.AndroidViewModelFactory.APPLICATION_KEY]) // Pass it directly to HomeViewModel HomeViewModel(application) } DetailViewModel::class -> { // Create a SavedStateHandle for this ViewModel from extras val savedStateHandle = extras.createSavedStateHandle() DetailViewModel(savedStateHandle) } else -> throw IllegalArgumentException("Unknown class $modelClass") } as T } }
lifecycle-viewmodel
now provides aviewModelFactory
Kotlin DSL that allows you define yourViewModelProvider.Factory
in terms of one or more lambda initializers, one for each particularViewModel
class your custom factory supports, usingCreationExtras
as the primary data source.val customFactory = viewModelFactory { // The return type of the lambda automatically sets what class this lambda handles initializer { // Get the Application object from extras provided to the lambda val application = checkNotNull(get(ViewModelProvider.AndroidViewModelFactory.APPLICATION_KEY)) HomeViewModel(application) } initializer { val savedStateHandle = createSavedStateHandle() DetailViewModel(savedStateHandle) } }
lifecycle-viewmodel-compose
now offers aviewModel()
API that takes a lambda factory for creating aViewModel
instance without requiring the creation of a customViewModelProvider.Factory
.// Within a @Composable, you can now skip writing a custom Factory // and instead write a lambda to do the initialization of your ViewModel val detailViewModel = viewModel { // This lambda is only called the first time the ViewModel is created // and all CreationExtras are available inside the lambda val savedStateHandle = createSavedStateHandle() DetailViewModel(savedStateHandle) }
SavedStateHandle Compose Saver Integration - the
lifecycle-viewmodel-compose
artifact now contains new experimental APIs inSavedStateHandle.saveable
that allowrememberSaveable
like behavior backed by theSavedStateHandle
of a `ViewModel.class ListScreenViewModel(handle: SavedStateHandle): ViewModel() { // This value survives both configuration changes and process death and recreation val editMode by handle.saveable { mutableStateOf(false) } }
Added an
addCloseable()
API and a new constructor overload that allow you to add one or moreCloseable
objects to theViewModel
that will be closed when theViewModel
is cleared without requiring any manual work inonCleared()
.For instance, to create a coroutine scope that you can inject into a ViewModel, but control via testing, you can create a
CoroutineScope
that implementsCloseable
:class CloseableCoroutineScope( context: CoroutineContext = SupervisorJob() + Dispatchers.Main.immediate ) : Closeable, CoroutineScope { override val coroutineContext: CoroutineContext = context override fun close() { coroutineContext.cancel() } }
Which can then be used in your
ViewModel
constructor while maintaining the same lifetime asviewModelScope
:class TestScopeViewModel( val customScope: CloseableCoroutineScope = CloseableCoroutineScope() ) : ViewModel(customScope) { // You can now use customScope in the same way as viewModelScope }
Behavior changes
- Attempting to move the
Lifecycle.State
fromINITIALIZED
toDESTROYED
will now always throw anIllegalStateException
regardless of whether theLifecycle
has an attached observer. LifecycleRegistry
will now clear their observers when they reach theDESTROYED
state.

Version 2.5.0-alpha01
January 26, 2022
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.5.0-alpha01
is released. Version 2.5.0-alpha01 contains these commits.
ViewModel CreationExtras
With this release, we are laying the groundwork for restructuring how a ViewModel
is constructed. Instead of a rigid set of subclasses of ViewModelProvider.Factory
that each add additional functionality (allowing an Application
constructor parameter via AndroidViewModelFactory
, allowing a SavedStateHandle
constructor parameter via SavedStateViewModelFactory
and AbstractSavedStateViewModelFactory
, etc.), we are moving to a world of stateless factories that rely on a new concept, CreationExtras
. (Ia7343, b/188691010, b/188541057)
With this change, ViewModelProvider
no longer makes direct calls into the previous create(Class<T>)
method of ViewModelProvider.Factory
. Instead, it calls into a new overload of create
: create(Class<T>, CreationExtras)
. This means that any direct implementation of the ViewModelProvider.Factory
instance now has access to each of these new CreationExtras
:
ViewModelProvider.NewInstanceFactory.VIEW_MODEL_KEY
: thisString
provides access to the custom key you passed toViewModelProvider.get()
.ViewModelProvider.AndroidViewModelFactory.APPLICATION_KEY
provides access to theApplication
class.SavedStateHandleSupport.SAVED_STATE_REGISTRY_OWNER_KEY
provides access to theSavedStateRegistryOwner
that is being used to construct this ViewModel.SavedStateHandleSupport.VIEW_MODEL_STORE_OWNER_KEY
provides access to theViewModelStoreOwner
that is being used to construct this ViewModel.SavedStateHandleSupport.DEFAULT_ARGS_KEY
provides access to theBundle
of arguments that should be used to construct aSavedStateHandle
.
These extras are provided by default when using Activity 1.5.0-alpha01
, Fragment 1.5.0-alpha01
, and Navigation 2.5.0-alpha01
. If you use an earlier version of those libraries, your CreationExtras
will be empty - all of the existing subclasses of ViewModelProvider.Factory
have been rewritten to support both the legacy creation path used by earlier versions of those libraries and the CreationExtras
path which will be used going forward.
These CreationExtras
allow you to construct a ViewModelProvider.Factory
that passes just the information you need to each ViewModel
without relying on a strict hierarchy of Factory subclasses:
class CustomFactory : ViewModelProvider.Factory {
override fun <T : ViewModel> create(modelClass: Class<T>, extras: CreationExtras): T {
return when (modelClass) {
HomeViewModel::class -> {
// Get the Application object from extras
val application = checkNotNull(extras[ViewModelProvider.AndroidViewModelFactory.APPLICATION_KEY])
// Pass it directly to HomeViewModel
HomeViewModel(application)
}
DetailViewModel::class -> {
// Create a SavedStateHandle for this ViewModel from extras
val savedStateHandle = extras.createSavedStateHandle()
DetailViewModel(savedStateHandle)
}
else -> throw IllegalArgumentException("Unknown class $modelClass")
} as T
}
}
We use the createSavedStateHandle()
Kotlin extension function on CreationExtras
from SavedStateHandleSupport
to construct a SavedStateHandle
only for the one ViewModel that needs it. (Ia6654, b/188541057)
Custom CreationExtras
can be provided by overriding getDefaultViewModelCreationExtras()
in your ComponentActivity
or Fragment
, thus making them available to your custom ViewModelProvider.Factory
as a built in form of assisted injection. These extras will automatically be made available to your custom Factory when used directly with ViewModelProvider
or when using the by viewModels()
and by activityViewModels()
Kotlin property extensions. (I79f2b, b/207012584, b/207012585, b/207012490)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the default value provided
to a
SavedStateHandle
would reappear after process death and recreation, even if it was specifically removed from theSavedStateHandle
. As a consequence of this,SavedStateHandle
will no longer merge default values and restored values together, instead only using the restored values as the source of truth. (I53a4b)
Version 2.4
Version 2.4.1

androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.4.1
is released. Version 2.4.1 contains these commits.
Bug Fixes
- Backported from Lifecycle
2.5.0-alpha01
: Fixed an issue where the default value provided to aSavedStateHandle
would re-appear after process death and recreation, even if it was specifically removed from theSavedStateHandle
. As a consequence of this,SavedStateHandle
will no longer merge default values and restored values together, instead only using the restored values as the source of truth. (I53a4b) lifecycle-process
now depends on Androidx Startup 1.1.1 which fixed a regression in where usingProcessLifecycleInitializer
would cause anStartupException
. (b/216490724)
Version 2.4.0
October 27, 2021
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-*:2.4.0
is released. Version 2.4.0 contains these commits.
Important changes since 2.3.0
@OnLifecycleEvent
was deprecated.LifecycleEventObserver
orDefaultLifecycleObserver
should be used instead.androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-compose
library was added. It providesviewModel()
composable andLocalViewModelStoreOwner
.- Source-breaking change:
ViewModelProvider
has been rewritten in Kotlin.ViewModelProvider.Factory.create
method no longer allows nullable generic.
- Source-breaking change:
- New coroutines API were added to
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx
: Lifecycle.repeatOnLifecycle
, API that executes a block of code in a coroutine when the Lifecycle is at least in a certain state. The block will cancel and re-launch as the lifecycle moves in and out of the target state;Flow.flowWithLifecycle
, API that emits values from the upstream Flow when the lifecycle is at least in a certain state.DefaultLifecycleObserver
was moved fromlifecycle.lifecycle-common-java8
tolifecycle.lifecycle-common
.lifecycle.lifecycle-common-java8
doesn't provide anymore any additional functionality on top oflifecycle.lifecycle-common
, so dependency on it can be replaced bylifecycle.lifecycle-common
.- Non coroutines API from
lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx
have been moved to thelifecycle-viewmodel
module. lifecycle-process
now usesandroidx.startup
to initialize theProcessLifecycleOwner
.Previously, this was being done by
androidx.lifecycle.ProcessLifecycleOwnerInitializer
.If you used
tools:node="remove"
theContentProvider
being used to initialize process lifecycle in the past, then you need to do the following instead.<provider android:name="androidx.startup.InitializationProvider" android:authorities=\"${applicationId}.androidx-startup" android:exported="false" tools:node=\"merge"> <!-- If you are using androidx.startup to initialize other components --> <meta-data android:name="androidx.lifecycle.ProcessLifecycleInitializer" android:value="androidx.startup" tools:node="remove" /> </provider>
(or)
<!-- If you want to disable androidx.startup completely. --> <provider android:name="androidx.startup.InitializationProvider" android:authorities="${applicationId}.androidx-startup" tools:node="remove"> </provider>

Behavior Changes
lifecycle-process
now usesandroidx.startup
to initialize theProcessLifecycleOwner
.Previously, this was being done by
androidx.lifecycle.ProcessLifecycleOwnerInitializer
.If you used
tools:node="remove"
theContentProvider
being used to initialize process lifecycle in the past, then you need to do the following instead.<provider android:name="androidx.startup.InitializationProvider" android:authorities=\"${applicationId}.androidx-startup" android:exported="false" tools:node=\"merge"> <!-- If you are using androidx.startup to initialize other components --> <meta-data android:name="androidx.lifecycle.ProcessLifecycleInitializer" android:value="androidx.startup" tools:node="remove" /> </provider>
(or)
<!-- If you want to disable androidx.startup completely. --> <provider android:name="androidx.startup.InitializationProvider" android:authorities="${applicationId}.androidx-startup" tools:node="remove"> </provider>
API Changes
- Added a
Flow.flowWithLifecycle
API that emits values from the upstream Flow when the lifecycle is at least in a certain state using theLifecycle.repeatOnLifecycle
API. This is an alternative to the also newLifecycleOwner.addRepeatinJob
API. (I0f4cd)
Bug Fixes

is released. Version 2.3.0 contains these commits.
Major changes since 2.2.0
SavedStateHandle
support for non-parcelable classes:SavedStateHandle
now supports lazy serialization by allowing you to callsetSavedStateProvider()
for a given key, providing aSavedStateProvider
that will get a callback tosaveState()
when theSavedStateHandle
is asked to save its state. See Saving non-parcelable classes.- Lifecycle Behavior Enforcement:
- LifecycleRegistry now enforces
DESTROYED
as a terminal state. LifecycleRegistry
now verifies that its methods are called on main thread. It was always a requirement for lifecycles of activities, fragments etc. An addition of observers from non-main threads resulted in hard to catch crashes in runtime. ForLifecycleRegistry
objects that owned by your own components, you can explicitly opt out from checks by usingLifecycleRegistry.createUnsafe(...)
, but then you have to ensure that a proper synchronization is in place when thisLifecycleRegistry
is accessed from different threads.
- LifecycleRegistry now enforces
- Lifecycle State and Event Helpers: Added static helper methods of
downFrom(State)
,downTo(State)
,upFrom(State)
,upTo(State)
toLifecycle.Event
for generating theEvent
given aState
and transition direction. Added thegetTargetState()
method that provides theState
that the Lifecycle will transition to directly following theEvent
. withStateAtLeast
: AddedLifecycle.withStateAtLeast
APIs that await a lifecycle state and run a non-suspending block of code synchronously at the point of state change, then resume with the result. These APIs differ from the existingwhen*
methods as they do not permit running suspending code and do not employ a custom dispatcher. (aosp/1326081)ViewTree
APIs: A newViewTreeLifecycleOwner.get(View)
andViewTreeViewModelStoreOwner.get(View)
API allows you to retrieve the containingLifecycleOwner
andViewModelStoreOwner
, respectively, given aView
instance. You must upgrade to Activity1.2.0
and Fragment1.3.0
, and AppCompat 1.3.0-alpha01 or higher to populate this correctly. ThefindViewTreeLifecycleOwner
andfindViewTreeViewModelStoreOwner
Kotlin extensions are available inlifecycle-runtime-ktx
andlifecycle-viewmodel-ktx
, respectively.LiveData.observe()
Kotlin extension deprecation: TheLiveData.observe()
Kotlin extension necessary to use lambda syntax is now deprecated as it is not necessary when using Kotlin 1.4.

deprecation:ViewModelProviders.of()
has been deprecated. You can pass aFragment
orFragmentActivity
to the newViewModelProvider(ViewModelStoreOwner)
constructor to achieve the same functionality when using Fragment1.2.0
.lifecycle-extensions
Artifact Deprecation: With the above deprecation ofViewModelProviders.of()
, this release marks the deprecation of the last API inlifecycle-extensions
and this artifact should now be considered deprecated in its entirety. We strongly recommend depending on the specific Lifecycle artifacts you need (such aslifecycle-service
if you’re usingLifecycleService
andlifecycle-process
if you’re usingProcessLifecycleOwner
) rather thanlifecycle-extensions
as there will not be a future2.3.0
release oflifecycle-extensions
.- Gradle Incremental Annotation Processor: Lifecycle's annotation processor is incremental by default.
If your app is written in the Java 8 programming language you can use
DefautLifecycleObserver
instead; and if it's written in the Java 7 programming language you can useLifecycleEventObserver
.

classes to access and to contribute to the saved state. This object can be received in constructor ofViewModel
class and factories provided by default by Fragments and AppCompatActivity will injectSavedStateHandle
automatically. - AbstractSavedStateViewModelFactory was added. It allows you to create custom factories for your
ViewModel
and provide them access toSavedStateHandle
.

Pre-AndroidX Versions
For the pre-AndroidX versions of Lifecycle that follow, include these dependencies:
dependencies {
def lifecycle_version = "1.1.1"
// ViewModel and LiveData
implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:$lifecycle_version"
// alternatively - just ViewModel
implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:viewmodel:$lifecycle_version" // For Kotlin use viewmodel-ktx
// alternatively - just LiveData
implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:livedata:$lifecycle_version"
// alternatively - Lifecycles only (no ViewModel or LiveData).
// Support library depends on this lightweight import
implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:runtime:$lifecycle_version"
annotationProcessor "android.arch.lifecycle:compiler:$lifecycle_version" // For Kotlin use kapt instead of annotationProcessor
// alternately - if using Java8, use the following instead of compiler
implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:common-java8:$lifecycle_version"
// optional - ReactiveStreams support for LiveData
implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:reactivestreams:$lifecycle_version"
// optional - Test helpers for LiveData
testImplementation "android.arch.core:core-testing:$lifecycle_version"
}
Version 1.1.1
March 21, 2018
Only one small change: android.arch.core.util.Function
is moved from arch:runtime
to arch:common
. This allows it to be used without the runtime dependency, e.g. in paging:common
below.
lifecycle:common
is a dependency of lifecycle:runtime
, so this change doesn’t affect lifecycle:runtime
directly, only modules that depend directly on lifecycle:common
, as Paging does.
Version 1.1.0
January 22, 2018
Packaging Changes
New, much smaller dependencies are now available:
android.arch.lifecycle:livedata:1.1.0
android.arch.lifecycle:viewmodel:1.1.0
API Changes

LifecycleActivity
andLifecycleFragment
have now been removed - please useFragmentActivity
,AppCompatActivity
or supportFragment
. @NonNull
annotations have been added toViewModelProviders
andViewModelStores
ViewModelProviders
constructor has been deprecated - please use its static methods directlyViewModelProviders.DefaultFactory
has been deprecated - please useViewModelProvider.AndroidViewModelFactory
- The static
ViewModelProvider.AndroidViewModelFactory.getInstance(Application)
method has been added to retrieve a staticFactory
suitable for creatingViewModel
andAndroidViewModel
instances.
