Compose Foundation: v1.9.0-beta01

June 18, 2025

androidx.compose.foundation:foundation-*:1.9.0-beta01 is released. Version 1.9.0-beta01 contains these commits.

Breaking Changes

• The background and border modifier nodes now implement SemanticsModifierNode. This can result in new SemanticsNodes added to the semantics tree and, therefore, lead to test failures in tests that make assumptions about the semantics tree structure. For example, tests that use onChild, onParent, onSibling, and other similar methods to make assertions can fail if a new node is added between the current and target nodes. The preferred way to fix these failures is to add a testTag to the target node directly. Another approach is to use a looser matcher, such as onNode(hasAnyAncestor(hasText(“ancestor”)) and hasText(“target”)). (I638b5)

API Changes

• Rename Modifier.addTextContextMenuComponents to appendTextContextMenuComponents. (I4c43f)
• Removed AnnotatedOutputTransformation and carried addStyle functions to TextFieldBuffer. addStyle can still only be called from OutputTransformation. (I9930a, b/417991824)
• Clickable is rewritten to not use suspend pointer input as an optimization. This feature is enabled by a flag - you can disable if you encounter a bug in the new implementation - ComposeFoundationFlags.isNonSuspendingPointerInputInClickableEnabled. (I85b65)
• Introduced isFlingCancellationWithNestedScrollFixEnabled to fix an issue with fling propagation in nested scrolling. In this CL we are restoring the fling continuation behavior removed in aosp/3260391. We will still cancel the fling animation in case the child is removed from composition. (I467f4, b/405910180, b/419049142, b/416784125)
