Version 1.2.0-rc01

July 26, 2023

androidx.wear.tiles:tiles-*:1.2.0-rc01 is released. Version 1.2.0-rc01 contains these commits.

  • With the v1.2 release, Tiles library has been refactored and the majority of the features and APIs are moved into new ProtoLayout library (package androidx.wear.protolayout) with a small subset remaining in Tiles (androidx.wear.tiles):

    • All classes names have stayed the same, there are only additions to the v1.1
    • The majority of the APIs have stayed the same and the only change is package name.
    • Some of the methods in TileService/TileBuilder have been deprecated and now have renamed versions that accept new ProtoLayout types instead of deprecated Tiles one.

  • To make this migration easier, we have put together a small instructions and script that does this renaming, see here.

API Changes

  • Rename StateEntryValue to DynamicDataValue, and update the state APIs to use the DynamicDataKey (If1c01)
  • We are limiting the number of entries that are allowed in the StateStore in order to ensure that memory usage and state update time are well contained and controlled for each instance of the StateStore. As a result, the developer needs to ensure that they do not have more than MAX_STATE_ENTRY_COUNT entries in the map otherwise they will get an IllegalStateException when creating or updating the StateStore.

Version 1.1.0-beta01

July 27, 2022

The 1.0.0-beta01 release of Tiles Material library contains components and layouts that are in-line with Material guidelines and easy to build.

The included components are:

  • Button - clickable, circular-shaped object, with either icon, text or image with 3 predefined sizes.
  • Chip - clickable, stadium-shaped object that can contain an icon, primary and secondary labels, and has fixed height and customizable width.
  • CompactChip & TitleChip - two variations of the standard Chip that have smaller and larger heights, respectively, and can contain one line of text.
  • CircularProgressIndicator - colored arc around the edge of the screen with the given start and end angles, which can describe a full or partial circle with the full progress arc behind it.
  • Text - styled text which uses the recommended Wear Material typography styles

All these components have their own colors object that can be built with the main Colors class to easily apply the same theme over all components. In addition to colors, there is a Typography class to easily get FontStyle objects using the typography name.

In addition to components, there are recommended tiles layouts:

  • PrimaryLayout - A layout which can be customized by adding primary or secondary labels, content in the middle, and a primary chip at the bottom. The main content within this layout could be added as a MultiSlotLayout or MultiButtonLayout object.
  • EdgeContentLayout - A layout for hosting CircularProgressIndicator around the edge with main content inside and primary or secondary label around it.
  • MultiButtonLayout - A layout that can contain 1 - 7 buttons, arranged in line with the Material guidelines depending on their number.
  • MultiSlotLayout - A row-like style layout with horizontally aligned and spaced slots (for icons or other small content).

All layouts have recommended padding and styles applied that are within Material guidelines.

API Changes

  • Major refactor to the Chip components that includes separating setters in Builder so that each part of the content is passed in separately with renaming to match guidelines (primary label, secondary label, image resource id). Additionally, content description will be auto generated if not set. (I57622)

  • Area that can be tapped on CompactChip has been increased to follow accessibility guidelines. (Ie8264)
