Month: 2026-04 Concise monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments, major bug fixes, overall impact, and technologies demonstrated for the androidx/androidx repository. Delivered features and fixes span API surface refinements, security-focused exposure controls, and test-driven refactors to align with XrDevice capabilities. The work emphasized business value through API consistency, reduced maintenance burden, and improved user experience in mobile test scenarios. Key features delivered: - Depth API Renaming and Documentation Improvements: Rename DepthMap to Depth for API consistency; refactor depth-related classes and tests; update documentation to clarify app-controlled versus runtime-controlled aspects. Commits include 0239bfb8013b65afc429d1d1e587231214ced5a0. Tests executed on Moohan device and Pixel 8; associated bugs 498345446 and 442761088. - Anchor API Exposure Restrictions: Restrict Anchor class exposure and remove LIBRARY_GROUP_PREFIX exposure to improve API security and integrity; adjust constructors and properties accordingly. Commit 30dcf08ca3b6615418df4f5ebe4d0dc87937f0e8; tests for scenecore and compose; bug 497942835. - ConfigMode Refactor and Test Alignment: Remove unused isSupported checks duplicated in XrDevice and update tests/apps to use correct isSupported checks; commit b4a12ef37f2364bc93af5b1236824242560b2cb9; tests updated; bug 507049605. Major bugs fixed: - Mobile Black Screen Bug - Tracking State Fix: Update mobile test app tracking state references from CameraState to ArDeviceState to improve user experience. Commit de800862db64e44c8125a1b4561ac9b04272ff0b; tests run on Pixel 8 and unit tests; bug 496346231. Overall impact and accomplishments: - API consistency and security: Reduced risk of misuse and misinterpretation of API surfaces by standardizing naming, exposure scope, and isSupported usage. - Maintainability and test quality: Alignment of tests with actual device capabilities, removal of unused checks, and improved test coverage across Moohan and Pixel 8 environments. - User experience: Direct fixes to mobile tracking state reduced black screen scenarios in test apps, delivering smoother UX in mobile workflows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Kotlin/Java and AndroidX API design, KDoc improvements, and code refactors. - Unit and integration testing across device configurations (Moohan, Pixel 8). - API surface reduction and exposure hardening to improve stability and security. - Cross-component coordination between core API modules (Depth, Anchor, ConfigMode) and test apps.

March 2026 monthly summary for androidx/androidx focused on delivering the PerceptionState Snapshot and Immutability Enhancement. Introduced a snapshot mechanism to track the states of objects within PerceptionState, enabling a self-referencing state and stronger immutability, while unrestricting eye states. Change validated with unit tests and on-device verification (Moohan device and Pixel 8), addressing state-transition stability gaps across devices. This work reduces risk of state corruption, improves debuggability, and provides a robust foundation for future perception features. Commit overview: d8c65b6131b49dcbea14d9187e9cbafcb2e65982 — PerceptionState now holds a snapshot of object states and includes a self-reference; unrestricts eye states. Tests on Moohan and Pixel 8. Related bugs: 464075476, 442760994. Change-Id: Ic65931f90f15acc1c50a0f10d9377224f75b53d0
