Camera: v1.5.0-beta02

July 16, 2025

androidx.camera:camera-*:1.5.0-beta02 is released. Version 1.5.0-beta02 contains these commits.

API Changes

• Added new APIs to set or query groups of high-quality features more intuitively and accurately as these features may not be supported as a combination across all devices. SessionConfig now contains new APIs to denote a group of features as either required or preferred. The CameraInfo.isFeatureGroupSupported API allows to know if a feature group is supported before binding a SessionConfig. SessionConfig also allows setting a listener to know which features are finally selected when a session config is bound. (Ie4d60)
• Added new API SessoinConfig.Builder.setFrameRateRange(Range<Integer>) and CameraInfo.getSupportedFrameRateRanges(SessionConfig), enabling developers to query guaranteed supported frame rates constrained by a specific SessionConfig and then apply the frame rate on SessionConfig. (Ieacf7)
• Introduced the new SessionConfig API, which includes a better abstraction for configuring use cases, session parameters, CameraEffect, ViewPort and etc. Binding a SessionConfig to a LifecycleOwner opens the camera session, configures it using the specified use cases and session parameters, and applies the designated CameraEffect and ViewPort. When updating a new SessionConfig to the same LifecycleOwner, you can just bind a new Sessionconfig without the need of invoking unbind or unbindAll first. (Iedfc3)
• Added new APIs to record high-speed/slow-motion video. See HighSpeedVideoSessionConfig API for more details. (Ia16f3)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed ImageCaptureCapabilities#getSupportedOutputFormats() API reporting RAW formats as supported in some devices which doesn't actually have RAW capability. (Ibcadb)
• Fixed the memory leak that happens when PreviewView is used, CameraEffect is enabled or binding 4 use cases(StreamSharing) (I87468)
• Fixed a video recording crash by AssertionError: Invalid internal audio state: IDLING. (I38d4b, b/414259796)
• Fixed the issue when the app runs in an external display and the device is landscape, the preview in PreviewView becomes stretched or sideway (Ia917a)
• Fixed the issue that Preview Stabilization settings are not correctly applied when the camera stream is sharing between Preview and VideoCapture.(I5430e)
• CameraXViewfinder now properly handles surface replacement in the underlying Viewfinder. This covers scenarios such as when an EXTERNAL viewfinder on API level 28 or lower moves off screen or if a CameraXViewfinder (with any ImplementationMode) is part of moveableContentOf(). In cases where the underlying ViewfinderSurfaceSession cannot be kept alive, the CameraXViewfinder will invalidate the current CameraX SurfaceRequest, allowing CameraX to use the new Surface. (I79432)
• Fixes an issue on Android 10/11 where the EXTERNAL CameraXViewfinder could appear stretched or incorrect due to transformation operations (like scale or translate) being applied too early. The system now waits for the Surface to be created before applying these transformations in the layout phase, ensuring correct output. (Icc77c)
• Composable CameraXViewfinder now works correctly with Compose's Pager. This change ensures that the Composable can be successfully reset by implementing the onReset callback of AndroidView, supporting both EMBEDDED and EXTERNAL implementations. (I0d9be)
• Fixed a lifecycle owner leak that happens when unbinding use cases from a lifecycle owner without shutting down the camera provider.

camera featurecombinationquery: v1.5.0-beta02

July 16, 2025

• Moved some initialization to the Factory constructor to give clients better control over when they want the Binder calls to happen. Updated the docs to reflect the same.

camera viewfinder: v1.5.0-beta03

July 16, 2025

androidx.camera.viewfinder:viewfinder-compose:1.5.0-beta03, androidx.camera.viewfinder:viewfinder-core:1.5.0-beta03, and androidx.camera.viewfinder:viewfinder-view:1.5.0-beta03 are released. Version 1.5.0-beta03 contains these commits.

Bug Fixes

• The default ImplementationMode for Viewfinder (both Compose and View-based) now intelligently selects between EXTERNAL (for performance) and EMBEDDED (for compatibility on older APIs/quirky devices). This behavior can still be overridden by explicit settings in ViewfinderSurfaceRequest or XML attributes (on the View-based API). (Iecd3a)
• Improved Surface session management by allowing the ViewfinderSurfaceSession to be kept alive across surface create/destroy lifecycles when using TextureView or SurfaceView on API 29+. (I112d9)
• The Viewfinder now ensures Surfaces are released at the proper time, only when no longer in use by the session, rather than always releasing when the Composable is disposed. For EXTERNAL (SurfaceView) this behavior is currently only available on API 29+. For EMBEDDED (TextureView), this behavior is present on all API levels. (I9a03f)
• The Viewfinder now properly handles surface replacement in scenarios such as when an EXTERNAL viewfinder on API level 28 or lower moves off screen or if a Viewfinder (with any ImplementationMode) is part of moveableContentOf(). (I79432)
• Composable Viewfinder now works correctly with Compose's Pager. This change ensures that the Composable can be successfully reset by implementing the onReset callback of AndroidView, supporting both EMBEDDED and EXTERNAL implementations. (I0d9be)
• Fixes an issue on Android 10/11 where the EXTERNAL Viewfinder could appear stretched or incorrect due to transformation operations (like scale or translate) being applied too early. The system now waits for the Surface to be created before applying these transformations in the layout phase, ensuring correct output. (Icc77c)

• PullToRefresh is now an stable API (I18537)
• Updates to the DatePickers API. We removed the default null end date for DateRangePicker and made it mandatory to pass in.

(I121b3, b/427952972)
• Graduate the Icon with tint: ColorProducer param API to non-experimental. (Ia0133)

Room: v2.8.0-alpha01

July 16, 2025

androidx.room:room-*:2.8.0-alpha01 is released. Version 2.8.0-alpha01 contains these commits.

New Features

• Added a new artifact androidx.room:room-sqlite-wrapper which contains APIs to get a SupportSQLiteDatabase wrapper of RoomDatabase with a configured SQLiteDriver. To get the wrapper use the new extension function RoomDatabase.getSupportWrapper(). This is a compatibility artifact to maintain usages of SupportSQLiteDatabase, usually obtained from RoomDatabase.openHelper.writableDatabase, even if the Room database is configured with a SQLiteDriver. This wrapper is useful for incremental migration of codebases who wish to adopt SQLiteDriver but have extensive usages of the SupportSQLite APIs yet they want to take advantage of the BundledSQLiteDriver. (Icf6ac)
• Add KMP targets for Watch OS and TV OS (I228f6, b/394238801)

Bug Fixes

• Add an API to SQLiteDriver to report if internally it has a connection pool or not. (I52a51, b/408010324)

• Fixed a bug in ScreenScaffold where touch-to-explore was not working under Talkback if a ScrollIndicator/PageIndicator was provided. (I6dcee)

• Animated enabled/disabled color transitions for IconButton, to be consistent with IconToggleButton. (Ife10a)
• Removed the minimum section clamping in CircularProgressIndicator to avoid a noticeable jump to the minimum dot size when animating. As part of this change, the targetProgress parameter in drawCircularProgressIndicator is now unused. (I33309)
• Picker now has the semantic role ValuePicker which can be used by screen readers to make pickers more accessible. Picker also has updated accessibility click labels which differentiate between adjusting the value in read-only mode and selecting the current value otherwise. (I33309)
