Version 1.1.0
September 5, 2019
androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0 and androidx.appcompat:appcompat-resources:1.1.0 are released. The commits included in this version can be found here.
Important changes since 1.0.0
- Dark Mode Improvements: MODE_NIGHT_AUTO and switching of dark/light based on the current time is now deprecated. Considering using an explicit setting, or MODE_NIGHT_AUTO_BATTERY.
- Activity 1.0: AppCompatActivity now transitively extends from ComponentActivity from Activity 1.0.0 via Fragment 1.1.0. See the associated release notes for information on the changes in each library.
- AppCompatActivity LayoutId constructor: Subclasses of AppCompatActivity can now optionally call into a constructor on AppCompatActivity that takes an R.layout ID, indicating the layout that should be set as the content view as an alternative to calling setContentView() in onCreate(). This does not change the requirement that your subclass have a no-argument constructor.
