android.support.test.annotation.Beta
Signifies that a public API (public class, method or field) is subject to incompatible changes,
or even removal, in a future release. An API bearing this annotation is exempt from any
compatibility guarantees made by its containing library. Note that the presence of this
annotation implies nothing about the quality or performance of the API in question, only the fact
that it is not "API-frozen."

The support library has been superseded by [AndroidX](/jetpack/androidx) which is part of [Jetpack](/jetpack). We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider [migrating](/jetpack/androidx/migrate) existing projects to AndroidX. To find the AndroidX class that maps to this deprecated class, see the AndroidX support library [class\n| mappings](/jetpack/androidx/migrate/class-mappings).\n\n\n`\npublic\n\n\nabstract\n@interface\nBeta\n`\n\n\n`\n\n\nimplements\n\n`[Annotation](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/annotation/Annotation.html)`\n\n\n`\n\n|--------------------------------------|\n| android.support.test.annotation.Beta |\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n*** ** * ** ***\n\nSignifies that a public API (public class, method or field) is subject to incompatible changes,\nor even removal, in a future release.
