- -
-
- - Added {@code MediaBrowserCompat} for {@link
- android.media.browse.MediaBrowser} support, and {@code
- MediaBrowserServiceCompat} for {@link
- android.service.media.MediaBrowserService} support. This is useful
- when connecting a media app’s background service with UI components,
- and integrating with Android Auto and Android Wear without requiring
- API level 21 or higher.
-
-
- - The system now calls {@link
- android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity#onActivityResult onActivityResult()} for a
- nested {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity}.
-
-
-
-
- -
- Changes for v7 AppCompat
- library:
-
-
- -
-
- - Added Night Mode functionality to API level 14 and higher. Switch
- between Material
- Light and Material Dark Themes based on the time of day or
- app-specific setting.
-
-
- -
-
- - Day and night themes can be found here: {@code
- <sdk>/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/res/values/themes_daynight.xml}
-
-
- - {@code AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode()}: sets the
- app’s default mode by passing one of the following constants:
-
-
- -
-
- - {@code MODE_NIGHT_AUTO}
-
-
- - {@code MODE_NIGHT_NO}
-
-
- - {@code MODE_NIGHT_YES}
-
-
- - {@code MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM}
-
-
-
-
- - {@code AppCompatDelegate.setLocalNightMode()}: overrides
- the night mode setting for the local app component.
-
-
- - {@code AppCompatDelegate.getDefaultNightMode()}: returns
- the default night mode.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- -
- Changes for v7 mediarouter
- library:
-
-
- -
-
- - {@link android.support.v7.app.MediaRouteControllerDialog} now
- correctly applies custom app theme colors.
-
-
-
-
- -
- Changes for Design support library:
-
-
- -
-
- - Added support for bottom
- sheets. An interaction plugin, {@code
- BottomSheetBehavior}, allows a child view of a {@link
- android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout} to act as
- a bottom sheet. The base class, {@code BottomSheetCallback}, provides
- callbacks to monitor bottom sheet events.
-
-
-
-
- -
- Changes for the CustomTabs support
- library:
-
-
- -
-
- -
- Chrome
- Custom Tabs now allows apps to include a bottom bar with action
- buttons in addition to the existing top action button.
-
-
- - {@code CustomTabsIntent.Builder.addToolBarItem()}: adds an action
- button to a custom tab. You can use this to add multiple buttons.
-
-
- - {@code CustomTabsSession.setToolBarItem()}: updates the visuals
- for toolbar items. This method will only succeed if it is given a
- valid id and the browser session is in the foreground.
-
-
-
-
- -
- Added VectorDrawable support library:
-
-
- -
-
- - Added Classes:
-
-
- -
-
- - {@code VectorDrawableCompat}
-
-
- - {@code AnimatedVectorDrawableCompat}
-
-
-
-
- - Adds support for {@link
- android.graphics.drawable.VectorDrawable} assets to apps
- running on API level 7 or higher. {@link
- android.graphics.drawable.AnimatedVectorDrawable} assets
- are also supported on API level 11 or higher. Vector assets can be
- considerably smaller than image assets and should help reduce app
- size by reducing the amount of assets required to support multiple
- device screens.
-
-
- - This library is now a dependency of the v7 AppCompat library, allowing
- developers and AppCompat
- to easily use vector drawables. To use {@code
- VectorDrawableCompat} within an {@link android.widget.ImageButton} or
- {@link android.widget.ImageView}, use the {@code app:srcCompat} XML
- attribute or {@code setImageResource()}
- method.
-
-
- - To keep referencing attribute IDs on API level 20 or
- lower, add the following {@code appt} flag to your {@code
- build,gradle} file:
-
-
- -
-
- - If you are building with Android Plugin for Gradle 1.5.0 or
- lower, add the following to your {@code build.gradle} file:
-
-
- -
-
-android {
- defaultConfig {
- // Stops the Gradle’s automatic rasterization of vectors
- generatedDensities = []
- }
- // Flag that tells aapt to keep the attribute ids
- aaptOptions {
- additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
- }
-}
-
-
-
- - If you are building with Android Plugin for Gradle 2.0.0 or
- higher, add the following to your {@code build.gradle} file:
-
-
- -
-
-android {
- defaultConfig {
- vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
- }
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- -
- Changes for v17 Leanback
- Library:
-
-
- -
-
- - Added new capabilities to {@link android.support.v17.leanback.app.GuidedStepFragment},
- which is a component that guides users through a decision or series of decisions:
-
-
- -
-
- - Added button actions to {@link
- android.support.v17.leanback.widget.GuidedAction}:
-
-
-
- - {@code GuidedStepFragment.setButtonActions()}: sets a list of
- {@link android.support.v17.leanback.widget.GuidedAction} buttons that
- the user may select from the Actions view.
-
-
-
-
- - Description fields are now editable:
-
-
- -
-
- - {@code GuidedAction.Builder.descriptionEditable()}: when passing
- {@code true}, sets the action’s description to be editable.
-
-
- - {@code GuidedAction.getEditDescription()}: returns the editable
- description as a {@code CharSequence}.
-
-
-
-
- - Added drop-down lists of sub-actions:
-
-
- -
-
- - {@code GuidedAction.setSubActions()}: sets a {@link
- android.support.v17.leanback.widget.GuidedAction} list as a drop-down
- menu of sub-actions.
-
-
-
-
-
- - Added the {@code GuidedDatePickerAction} widget for {@link
- android.widget.DatePicker} functionality:
-
-
- -
-
- - The date is selected using year, month, and day columns and has a
- customizable range.
-
-
- - {@code GuidedDatePickerAction.Builder}: builder class for the {@code
- GuidedDatePickerAction} object.
-
-
- - {@code GuidedDatePickerAction.Builder.datePickerFormat(String
- datePickerFormat)}: set the desired date format by passing the
- appropriate three-character {@code String}, e.g. {@code “YMD”} or {@code
- “MDY”}. Alternatively, use the {@code datePickerFormat} XML attribute.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- -
- Changes for v7 RecyclerView
- library:
-
-
- -
-
- - {@link android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView} now has an opt-in
- feature called AutoMeasure which allows {@link
- android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView.LayoutManager} to easily wrap
- content or handle various measurement specifications provided by the
- parent of the {@link android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView}. It
- supports all existing animation capabilities of the {@link
- android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView}.
-
-
- -
-
-
-
- - When updating a {@link
- android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView.ViewHolder} with payload
- information, {@link android.support.v7.widget.DefaultItemAnimator}
- now disables change animations.
-
-
- - You can now modify the {@link
- android.support.v7.widget.helper.ItemTouchHelper} escape velocity to
- control swipe sensitivity. To make it easier or harder to swipe,
- override {@code getSwipeEscapeVelocity(float defaultValue)} and modify {@code defaultValue}.
-
-
-
-
-

getHeaderView method to the NavigationView class.
- - Fixed a transparent background issue for a
FloatingActionButton object on

- (Issue 183315)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Android Support Library, revision 23.1.0 (October 2015)
-
-
-
- - Changes for v4 Support library:
- -
-
- - Added
OnScrollChangedListener interface support to the
- NestedScrollView widget. It
- allows you to receive callbacks when the scroll X or Y positions change.
- - Added a
MediaButtonReceiver class to forward received playback controls
- to a service that’s managing the MediaSessionCompat class. The
- MediaSessionCompat class has a
- constructor that can automatically find a media button receiver in the manifest. A
- media button receiver is a key part to handling
- playback controls from hardware or bluetooth controls.
-
-
-
-
- - Changes for v7 appcompat library:
- -
-
- - Added material design
Seekbar and ImageButton widgets.
- - Updated the
ImageView widget to support the tint feature.
- - Updated the look-and-feel of the
SwitchCompat widget.
-
-
-
- - Changes for v7 mediarouter library:
- -
-
- - Added the following features to the
MediaRouteChooserDialog class:
-
- - Displays a loading page while discovering media route providers.
- - Includes a device type icon for easier device identification.
- - Sorts the routes according to frequency of use in the current app.
- - Supports landscape mode.
-
-
-
- - Added the following features to the
MediaRouteControllerDialog class:
-
- - Recognizes screen casting and provides a proper description.
- - Supports various album art sizes and aspect ratios, and loads the art asynchronously.
- - Automatically selects the content color based on the primary color of the app.
- - Adjusts the dialog layout based on available screen space on the device.
- - Supports landscape mode.
-
-
-
-
- - Changes for v7 palette library:
- -
-
- - Added the
setRegion() method to support extracting color from a specific
- region of a Bitmap object.
-
-
-
- - Changes for v7 recyclerview library:
- -
-
- - Added an improved animation API to the
ItemAnimator class for better
- customizations:
-
- - Change animations no longer enforce two copies of the
ViewHolder object,
- which enables item content animations. Also, the ItemAnimator object
- decides whether it wants to reuse the same ViewHolder object or create a
- new one.
- - The new information record API gives the
ItemAnimator class the flexibility
- to collect data at the correct point in the layout lifecycle. This information is later
- passed into the animate callbacks.
-
-
-
- - Provided an easy transition plan for this backward-incompatible API change:
-
- - If you’ve previously extended the
ItemAnimator class, you can change
- your base class to SimpleItemAnimator and your code should work as before.
- The SimpleItemAnimator class provides the old API by wrapping the new API.
- - Some methods were removed from the
ItemAnimator class. The following
- code will no longer compile:
-
recyclerView.getItemAnimator().setSupportsChangeAnimations(false)
- You can replace it with:
-
-ItemAnimator animator = recyclerView.getItemAnimator();
-if (animator instanceof SimpleItemAnimator) {
- ((SimpleItemAnimator) animator).setSupportsChangeAnimations(false);
-}
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - Changes for v7,
- v14, and
- v17 Preference Support library:
- -
-
- - Removed APIs for controlling
EditText dialogs.
-

- - Changes for v17 Leanback Support library:
- -
-
- - Added a version of the
GuidedStepFragment class for the Support library
- (extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment), and improved animations and
- transitions.
- - Updated the
GuidedStepFragment class so it can be placed on top of
- existing content.
- - Added the ability to annotate different types of search completions to the
-
SearchFragment class.
- - Added staggered slide transition support to the
VerticalGridFragment
- class.
-
-
-
-
- - Changes for Design Support library:
- -
-
- - Added
- character counting support to the
TextInputLayout widget.
- - Added edge snapping support to the
AppBarLayout class by adding the
- SCROLL_FLAG_SNAP constant. When scrolling ends, if the view is only
- partially visible, the view is snapped and scrolled to its closest edge.
- - Added support for custom views to the
NavigationView class by using the
- app:actionLayout attribute or MenuItemCompat.setActionView()
- method.
-
-
-
-
- - Changes for Custom Tabs Support library:
- -
-
- - Added the
enableUrlBarHiding() method to the CustomTabsIntent
- class. It lets the client customize whether the URL bar should be hidden automatically
- on scroll down.
- - Added the
setActionButton() method to the CustomTabsSession
- class. It lets the client
- change the icon for a custom action button in an already launched custom tab.
- - Added the
TAB_SHOWN and TAB_HIDDEN constants as new events
- for the onNavigationEvent method of the CustomTabsCallback
- class.

+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Android Support Library, revision 23.2.0 (February
+ 2016)
+
+
+
+
+ -
+ Changes for v4 Support library:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - Added {@code MediaBrowserCompat} for {@link
+ android.media.browse.MediaBrowser} support, and {@code
+ MediaBrowserServiceCompat} for {@link
+ android.service.media.MediaBrowserService} support. This is useful
+ when connecting a media app’s background service with UI components,
+ and integrating with Android Auto and Android Wear without requiring
+ API level 21 or higher.
+
+
+ - The system now calls {@link
+ android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity#onActivityResult onActivityResult()} for a
+ nested {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity}.
+
+
+
+
+ -
+ Changes for v7 AppCompat
+ library:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - Added Night Mode functionality to API level 14 and higher. Switch
+ between Material
+ Light and Material Dark Themes based on the time of day or
+ app-specific setting.
+
+
+ -
+
+ - Day and night themes can be found here: {@code
+ <sdk>/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/res/values/themes_daynight.xml}
+
+
+ - {@code AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode()}: sets the
+ app’s default mode by passing one of the following constants:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - {@code MODE_NIGHT_AUTO}
+
+
+ - {@code MODE_NIGHT_NO}
+
+
+ - {@code MODE_NIGHT_YES}
+
+
+ - {@code MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM}
+
+
+
+
+ - {@code AppCompatDelegate.setLocalNightMode()}: overrides
+ the night mode setting for the local app component.
+
+
+ - {@code AppCompatDelegate.getDefaultNightMode()}: returns
+ the default night mode.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ -
+ Changes for v7 mediarouter
+ library:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - {@link android.support.v7.app.MediaRouteControllerDialog} now
+ correctly applies custom app theme colors.
+
+
+
+
+ -
+ Changes for Design support library:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - Added support for bottom
+ sheets. An interaction plugin, {@code
+ BottomSheetBehavior}, allows a child view of a {@link
+ android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout} to act as
+ a bottom sheet. The base class, {@code BottomSheetCallback}, provides
+ callbacks to monitor bottom sheet events.
+
+
+
+
+ -
+ Changes for the CustomTabs support
+ library:
+
+
+ -
+
+ -
+ Chrome
+ Custom Tabs now allows apps to include a bottom bar with action
+ buttons in addition to the existing top action button.
+
+
+ - {@code CustomTabsIntent.Builder.addToolBarItem()}: adds an action
+ button to a custom tab. You can use this to add multiple buttons.
+
+
+ - {@code CustomTabsSession.setToolBarItem()}: updates the visuals
+ for toolbar items. This method will only succeed if it is given a
+ valid id and the browser session is in the foreground.
+
+
+
+
+ -
+ Added VectorDrawable support library:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - Added Classes:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - {@code VectorDrawableCompat}
+
+
+ - {@code AnimatedVectorDrawableCompat}
+
+
+
+
+ - Adds support for {@link
+ android.graphics.drawable.VectorDrawable} assets to apps
+ running on API level 7 or higher. {@link
+ android.graphics.drawable.AnimatedVectorDrawable} assets
+ are also supported on API level 11 or higher. Vector assets can be
+ considerably smaller than image assets and should help reduce app
+ size by reducing the amount of assets required to support multiple
+ device screens.
+
+
+ - This library is now a dependency of the v7 AppCompat library, allowing
+ developers and AppCompat
+ to easily use vector drawables. To use {@code
+ VectorDrawableCompat} within an {@link android.widget.ImageButton} or
+ {@link android.widget.ImageView}, use the {@code app:srcCompat} XML
+ attribute or {@code setImageResource()}
+ method.
+
+
+ - To keep referencing attribute IDs on API level 20 or
+ lower, add the following {@code appt} flag to your {@code
+ build,gradle} file:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - If you are building with Android Plugin for Gradle 1.5.0 or
+ lower, add the following to your {@code build.gradle} file:
+
+
+ -
+
+android {
+ defaultConfig {
+ // Stops the Gradle’s automatic rasterization of vectors
+ generatedDensities = []
+ }
+ // Flag that tells aapt to keep the attribute ids
+ aaptOptions {
+ additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
+ }
+}
+
+
+
+ - If you are building with Android Plugin for Gradle 2.0.0 or
+ higher, add the following to your {@code build.gradle} file:
+
+
+ -
+
+android {
+ defaultConfig {
+ vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
+ }
+}
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ -
+ Changes for v17 Leanback
+ Library:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - Added new capabilities to {@link android.support.v17.leanback.app.GuidedStepFragment},
+ which is a component that guides users through a decision or series of decisions:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - Added button actions to {@link
+ android.support.v17.leanback.widget.GuidedAction}:
+
+
+
+ - {@code GuidedStepFragment.setButtonActions()}: sets a list of
+ {@link android.support.v17.leanback.widget.GuidedAction} buttons that
+ the user may select from the Actions view.
+
+
+
+
+ - Description fields are now editable:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - {@code GuidedAction.Builder.descriptionEditable()}: when passing
+ {@code true}, sets the action’s description to be editable.
+
+
+ - {@code GuidedAction.getEditDescription()}: returns the editable
+ description as a {@code CharSequence}.
+
+
+
+
+ - Added drop-down lists of sub-actions:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - {@code GuidedAction.setSubActions()}: sets a {@link
+ android.support.v17.leanback.widget.GuidedAction} list as a drop-down
+ menu of sub-actions.
+
+
+
+
+
+ - Added the {@code GuidedDatePickerAction} widget for {@link
+ android.widget.DatePicker} functionality:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - The date is selected using year, month, and day columns and has a
+ customizable range.
+
+
+ - {@code GuidedDatePickerAction.Builder}: builder class for the {@code
+ GuidedDatePickerAction} object.
+
+
+ - {@code GuidedDatePickerAction.Builder.datePickerFormat(String
+ datePickerFormat)}: set the desired date format by passing the
+ appropriate three-character {@code String}, e.g. {@code “YMD”} or {@code
+ “MDY”}. Alternatively, use the {@code datePickerFormat} XML attribute.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ -
+ Changes for v7 RecyclerView
+ library:
+
+
+ -
+
+ - {@link android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView} now has an opt-in
+ feature called AutoMeasure which allows {@link
+ android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView.LayoutManager} to easily wrap
+ content or handle various measurement specifications provided by the
+ parent of the {@link android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView}. It
+ supports all existing animation capabilities of the {@link
+ android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView}.
+
+
+ -
+
+
+
+ - When updating a {@link
+ android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView.ViewHolder} with payload
+ information, {@link android.support.v7.widget.DefaultItemAnimator}
+ now disables change animations.
+
+
+ - You can now modify the {@link
+ android.support.v7.widget.helper.ItemTouchHelper} escape velocity to
+ control swipe sensitivity. To make it easier or harder to swipe,
+ override {@code getSwipeEscapeVelocity(float defaultValue)} and modify {@code defaultValue}.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Android Support Library, revision 23.1.1 (November 2015)
+
+
+
+ - Changes for v7 recyclerview library:
+ -
+
+ - Fixed a crash that occurs when you perform a swipe-to-dismiss action that the
+ {@code ItemTouchHelper} utility class provides, and then add an item.
+ (Issue 190500)
+
+
+ - Changes for v7 preference library:
+ -
+
+
+
+ - Changes for v17 Leanback Support library:
+ -
+
+ - Fixed a number of internal issues in this library.
+
+
+ - Changes for Design Support library:
+ -
+
+ - Added the
getHeaderView method to the NavigationView class.
+ - Fixed a transparent background issue for a
FloatingActionButton object on
+ devices running Android 4.0 (API level 15) and lower.
+ (Issue 183315)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Android Support Library, revision 23.1.0 (October 2015)
+
+
+
+ - Changes for v4 Support library:
+ -
+
+ - Added
OnScrollChangedListener interface support to the
+ NestedScrollView widget. It
+ allows you to receive callbacks when the scroll X or Y positions change.
+ - Added a
MediaButtonReceiver class to forward received playback controls
+ to a service that’s managing the MediaSessionCompat class. The
+ MediaSessionCompat class has a
+ constructor that can automatically find a media button receiver in the manifest. A
+ media button receiver is a key part to handling
+ playback controls from hardware or bluetooth controls.
+
+
+
+
+ - Changes for v7 appcompat library:
+ -
+
+ - Added material design
Seekbar and ImageButton widgets.
+ - Updated the
ImageView widget to support the tint feature.
+ - Updated the look-and-feel of the
SwitchCompat widget.
+
+
+
+ - Changes for v7 mediarouter library:
+ -
+
+ - Added the following features to the
MediaRouteChooserDialog class:
+
+ - Displays a loading page while discovering media route providers.
+ - Includes a device type icon for easier device identification.
+ - Sorts the routes according to frequency of use in the current app.
+ - Supports landscape mode.
+
+
+
+ - Added the following features to the
MediaRouteControllerDialog class:
+
+ - Recognizes screen casting and provides a proper description.
+ - Supports various album art sizes and aspect ratios, and loads the art asynchronously.
+ - Automatically selects the content color based on the primary color of the app.
+ - Adjusts the dialog layout based on available screen space on the device.
+ - Supports landscape mode.
+
+
+
+
+ - Changes for v7 palette library:
+ -
+
+ - Added the
setRegion() method to support extracting color from a specific
+ region of a Bitmap object.
+
+
+
+ - Changes for v7 recyclerview library:
+ -
+
+ - Added an improved animation API to the
ItemAnimator class for better
+ customizations:
+
+ - Change animations no longer enforce two copies of the
ViewHolder object,
+ which enables item content animations. Also, the ItemAnimator object
+ decides whether it wants to reuse the same ViewHolder object or create a
+ new one.
+ - The new information record API gives the
ItemAnimator class the flexibility
+ to collect data at the correct point in the layout lifecycle. This information is later
+ passed into the animate callbacks.
+
+
+
+ - Provided an easy transition plan for this backward-incompatible API change:
+
+ - If you’ve previously extended the
ItemAnimator class, you can change
+ your base class to SimpleItemAnimator and your code should work as before.
+ The SimpleItemAnimator class provides the old API by wrapping the new API.
+ - Some methods were removed from the
ItemAnimator class. The following
+ code will no longer compile:
+
recyclerView.getItemAnimator().setSupportsChangeAnimations(false)
+ You can replace it with:
+
+ItemAnimator animator = recyclerView.getItemAnimator();
+if (animator instanceof SimpleItemAnimator) {
+ ((SimpleItemAnimator) animator).setSupportsChangeAnimations(false);
+}
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ - Changes for v7,
+ v14, and
+ v17 Preference Support library:
+ -
+
+ - Removed APIs for controlling
EditText dialogs.
+
+
+
+ - Changes for v17 Leanback Support library:
+ -
+
+ - Added a version of the
GuidedStepFragment class for the Support library
+ (extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment), and improved animations and
+ transitions.
+ - Updated the
GuidedStepFragment class so it can be placed on top of
+ existing content.
+ - Added the ability to annotate different types of search completions to the
+
SearchFragment class.
+ - Added staggered slide transition support to the
VerticalGridFragment
+ class.
+
+
+
+
+ - Changes for Design Support library:
+ -
+
+ - Added
+ character counting support to the
TextInputLayout widget.
+ - Added edge snapping support to the
AppBarLayout class by adding the
+ SCROLL_FLAG_SNAP constant. When scrolling ends, if the view is only
+ partially visible, the view is snapped and scrolled to its closest edge.
+ - Added support for custom views to the
NavigationView class by using the
+ app:actionLayout attribute or MenuItemCompat.setActionView()
+ method.
+
+
+
+
+ - Changes for Custom Tabs Support library:
+ -
+
+ - Added the
enableUrlBarHiding() method to the CustomTabsIntent
+ class. It lets the client customize whether the URL bar should be hidden automatically
+ on scroll down.
+ - Added the
setActionButton() method to the CustomTabsSession
+ class. It lets the client
+ change the icon for a custom action button in an already launched custom tab.
+ - Added the
TAB_SHOWN and TAB_HIDDEN constants as new events
+ for the onNavigationEvent method of the CustomTabsCallback
+ class.

+ v14 Preference Support library:
+ -
+
+ - Added the material design layout and style files.
+ (Issue 183376)
+
+
+
+
+ - Changes for v7 appcompat library:
+ -
+
+ - Fixed crash issues for the {@link android.app.Fragment} class by limiting the use of
+ hardware layers to Android 4.1 (API level 16) and higher.
+ (Issue 183896)
+ - Fixed an issue where hardware buttons did not work when an activity had set the
+ {@link android.widget.Toolbar} class to act as the
+ {@link android.app.ActionBar} by using the
setSupportActionBar() method.
+ (Issue 183334)
+ - Updated the {@link android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDialogFragment} class so it
+ no longer throws the {@code Windows feature must be requested before adding content}
+ error.
+ (Issue 183186)
+
+
+
+
+ - Changes for Design Support library:
+ -
+
+ - Fixed the
+ {@link android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout} class so it now draws correctly after
+ rotation.
+ (Issue 183109)
+ - Fixed the
+ {@link android.support.design.widget.TabLayout} class so it now behaves correctly when a
+ user clicks after a swipe.
+ (Issue 183123)

+ -
+
+ - Lowered the
+
minSdkVersion
+ value from 16 to 15 for version support.

+
+
+ Android Support Library, revision 22.2.0 (May 2015)
+
+
+
+ - Added Design Support library:
+ -
+
+ - Added {@link android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout} for showing
+ {@link android.widget.EditText} hint and error text as floating labels.
+
+ - Added {@link android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton} for implementing a
+ primary action on your interface as a
+ floating action button, supporting either default or mini sizes.
+
+ - Added {@link android.support.design.widget.Snackbar} for providing lightweight
+ feedback with an optional action in an animated snackbar.
+
+ - Added {@link android.support.design.widget.TabLayout} for implementing fixed and
+ scrollable
+ tabs as well as easy
+ integration with
+ {@link android.support.v4.view.ViewPager}.
+
+ - Added {@link android.support.design.widget.NavigationView} for implementing
+ navigation drawer
+ contents, including the ability to inflate menu items via a
+ Menu Resource.
+
+ - Added {@link android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout}, a general purpose
+ layout, used for building dependencies between
+ sibling views and allowing easy scrolling reactions between components via
+ {@link android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout.Behavior}. Many of the Design
+ Library components rely on being a child of a
+ {@link android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout}.
+
+ - Added {@link android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout}, a container for a
+ {@link android.widget.Toolbar}
+ and other views (such as {@link android.support.design.widget.TabLayout}) for
+ reacting to scrolling events by scrolling off the screen, becoming visible in reaction
+ to a downward scroll, or collapsing/uncollapsing before scrolling off/onto the screen.

+ The v7 mediarouter library APIs provide a means of controlling the routing of
+ media channels and streams from the current device to external screens,
+ speakers, and other destination devices, with compatibility back to Android 2.1
+ (API level 7). See V7
+ mediarouter library for more information.
+
+ The v7 mediarouter library APIs introduced in Support
+ Library r18 are subject to change in later revisions of the Support
+ Library. At this time, we recommend using the library only in connection
+ with the Google Cast
+ developer preview.
