created issue #1

Sep 1, 2020 03:25PM

Android Studio Build: 4.2 canary 8
Version of Gradle Plugin: 4.2.0-alpha08
Version of Gradle: 6.6
Version of Java: 1.8
OS: Linux
Version of Compose: 1.0.0-alpha01

Steps to Reproduce:

Use androidx.compose.ui.res.stringResource in an Activity with android:configChanges="locale|layoutDirection"> declared in the manifest
Change the device language to one which has a translation for the string in the previous step
Observe that the old string is displayed instead of the one for the new language

This seems to be because stringResource gets the string from the Context in the ContextAmbient, but ContextAmbient doesn't change when the Configuration changes.

I've been working around this for now with something like

@Composable
fun localizedString(@StringRes id: Int): String {
    val context = ContextAmbient.current
    val resources = remember(ConfigurationAmbient.current) { context.resources }
    return resources.getString(id)
}

... but it would be nice if compose handled this. I also suspect that this affects other @Composables that resolve resource IDs.

Semantics no-op cleanups

Partly in response to lmr's broad code review, I did a pass of
superficial API/implementation cleanup. The main changes are:

- I changed each Boolean SemanticsProperty where false is equivalent to
not being present to take "Unit" instead. This is conceptually
clearer: it avoids questions like "can I cancel out a semantics from a
merged child by setting it to false?" Because "property = Unit" looks
weird, I also changed the style of these to "property()".

- I moved the Semantics id generator closer to where it's used, in
SemanticsModifierCore. I made it internal and an AtomicInt.
(Note that integer ids are heavily used in the Android
AccessibilityNodeInfo APIs so I can't simply remove them entirely.)

- I deleted dead code. Some examples include SemanticsHintOverrides,
a public API not connected to anything, and SemanticsPropertyKey
merge() open method which is never called. (In both cases I have
a different plan in mind for accessibility.)

Fixes: 145951226
Fixes: 145955412
Test: existing tests
Relnote: "Single-value semantics properties now use a calling style.
For example, 'semantics { hidden = true }' is now written as:
'semantics { hidden() }'."
