A little late... but new compose artifacts this past Wednesday Version 1.6.0-beta01 of anim, foundation, material, runtime, ui •

ExitTransition.Hold

has been renamed to

ExitTransition.KeepUntilTransitionsFinished

to be more explicit. (I1c490) • You may now use

keyframesWithSpline

to interpolate any N-dimensional value using monotonic splines. It's particularly useful to interpolate positional values such as

Offset

,

IntOffset

,

DpOffset

. Added as Experimental API. • Add renderer support for Sweep Gradient in

ArcLine

. (I4d5bb) • Implement equals and hashcode for

PageSize.Fixed

. (Ie3ede, b/300134276) • Fix binary compatibility issue with Window Inset change. (Iee695) • Remove material core layer for Material3 Chip/Button as the microbenchmarks show better performance without it. (I55555) • A ton of DragAndDrop changes... click here to read all changes • The children of

SubcomposeLayout

(and layouts like

LazyColumn

based on it) which are retained to be reused in future are considered deactivated. New

assertIsDeactivated()

test API was introduced to test such nodes. The rest of the test apis will filter out deactivated nodes by default. (I2ef84, b/187188981) • Material

SwipeToReveal

APIs (for Cards and Chips) now rely on a slot based API (as recommended by Compose) instead of data class based instances to create those slots. This is a breaking change, please see the demo and sample code for examples on how to use the new API. (Ia8943) • Fixed a bug that would cause

BasicText

layout to not shrink when

minWidth

changed and

minWidth

less than initial measure constraints

maxWidth

(Idb19c) • Prevent catching the switch while animating on quick clicks • Focus EDM popup when opened when TalkBack is on • Update expect and actual declarations for 1.9.20 • Use referential policy for composition local scope state in context. (83361c) • Restrict $dirty capture to inline lambdas. (acfca0) • Fix moveable content sometimes receiving the wrong composition locals. (035cd6) • Use faster non-allocating hashmaps in

replace() called on item that was not placed

crash (happens to my prod apps all the time) was fixed as well. Time to upgrade and deploy! Not sure what fix addressed this issue. Version 1.2.0-alpha11 of m3 • Implements

PullToRefreshContainer

and

PullToRefreshState

, which together provide a pull to refresh implementation in Material3. (I16456, b/261760718) • Implements

We need scrollbars, ASAP ^^

Just wondering, do you mean draggable/interactive scrollbars or just scroll indicators? 🤔

Real scrollbars like I have them on Compose for Desktop... but not in the Android version of Ashampoo Photos. I once had them, but they must have been experimental, because with the change of the package they were gone.

Fair enough 😅 I've never implemented scrollbars in Android app so I don't necessarily agree but I get your frustration if it's something that's been on a roadmap for a while ☺️

Ashampoo Photos is similar to Apple Photos & Google Photos. If you have a huge photo library you might want to fast scroll somewhere. It's not like news reader where you read one article after another and a scroll indicator might be everything you need (if even at all).

Yeah, I understand. Just that from my experience I've seen more apps with pull to refresh than with "real scrollbars". But I agree that they are needed ☺️

😄

I think someone on the android team maintains a scrollbars library... lemme try to find it.

Yes, I heard of that. A app which has a custom scrollbar implementation. Unfortunately this is not quite the same as a ready-to-use library I'm looking for.

Must be something with our app, but going from alpha08 to beta01 the HorizontalPager is unusable now (crashes in layout after this recent change... https://github.com/androidx/androidx/commit/4486476d1c528d898e4535482a48fb01acab22b5)

hooray for pull refresh
