Version 1.6

Version 1.6.0-alpha01

August 12, 2026

androidx.savedstate:savedstate-*:1.6.0-alpha01 is released. Version 1.6.0-alpha01 contains these commits.

Bug Fixes

• Require Compose UI 1.8.0+ to use LocalSavedStateRegistryOwner. This removes internal reflection fallbacks, improving performance but enforcing a strict dependency upgrade for clients. (I16fb0)

Version 1.5

Version 1.5.0

May 19, 2026

androidx.savedstate:savedstate-*:1.5.0 is released. Version 1.5.0 contains these commits.

Important changes since 1.4.0:

• Enable generic serialization for SavedState objects, allowing them to be encoded and decoded using standard formats like CBOR or JSON across all platforms. (Iafda4, b/425919375)
• Add putKotlinSerializable and getKotlinSerializable extension functions to SavedStateWriter and SavedStateReader to allow directly storing and retrieving Kotlin Serializable objects using keys, streamlining the integration with SavedState APIs. (Iba02e)
• Add factory functions for LifecycleOwner, ViewModelStoreOwner, and SavedStateRegistryOwner to reduce boilerplate when composing custom owner components. (I9682c)
• Enable saving and restoring SnapshotStateSet (created via mutableStateSetOf()) with rememberSerializable. You can now use SnapshotStateSet in rememberSerializable without requiring a custom saver. (I9a4ed, b/449498367)

Note that no new KMP targets have been added to the *-compose artifacts, as this depends on the stable release of Compose 1.9. (I062f4).

Version 1.3.0

May 7, 2025

androidx.savedstate:savedstate-*:1.3.0 is released. Version 1.3.0 contains these commits.

Important changes since 1.2.0

• LocalSavedStateRegistryOwner has been moved from Compose UI to the new savedstate-compose module so that its Compose-based helper APIs can be used outside of Compose UI. This should always be used when using Compose UI 1.9.0-alpha02 and higher, but is backward compatible such that it can be used with all versions of Compose.
• The savedstate-ktx kotlin extensions have now been moved to the base savedstate module.
• SavedStateRegistryOwner instances retrieved via findViewTreeSavedStateRegistryOwner can now be resolved through disjoint parents of a view, such as a ViewOverlay. See the release notes of core or the documentation in ViewTree.setViewTreeDisjointParent for more information on disjoint view parents.

Kotlin Multiplatform

• The SavedState module is now KMP compatible. Supported platforms now include Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, and JVM desktop environments.

• Introduce SavedState opaque type as an abstraction to provide a consistent way to save and restore application state in KMP. It includes a SavedStateReader and SavedStateWriter for modifying the state to be saved. On Android, SavedState is a type alias for Bundle, ensuring binary compatibility and facilitating the migration of existing APIs to a common source set. On other platforms, SavedState is a Map<String, Any> instance.

    // Create a new SavedState object using the savedState DSL:
    val savedState = savedState {
      putInt("currentPage", 1)
      putString("filter", "favorites")
    }
  
    // Read from a SavedState object
    val currentPage = savedState.read { getInt("currentPage") }
  
    // Edit an existing SavedState object
    savedState.write {
      remove("currentPage")
    }
  

KotlinX Serialization Support

• SavedState now includes KotlinX Serialization support. You can convert a class annotated with @Serializable to a SavedState using the methods encodeToSavedState and decodeFromSavedState. The returned SavedState is a regular Bundle on Android and can be used by any API that accepts a Bundle.

  @Serializable
  data class Person(val firstName: String, val lastName: String)
  
  fun main() {
      val person = Person("John", "Doe")
      val encoded: SavedState = encodeToSavedState(person)
      val decoded: Person = decodeFromSavedState(encoded)
  }
  

• While most types (such as primitive types) are directly supported without any configuration needed, additional serializers that can be used with @Serializable(with = ___:class)can be found in the androidx.savedstate.serialization.serializers package in the savedstate module and the androidx.savedstate.compose.serialization.serializers package in the savedstate-compose module.

• We also have included saved, a lazy property delegate, to make it easy to store @Serializable classes in a SavedStateRegistryOwner (e.g., ComponentActivity, Fragment, etc.) and have those classes automatically be restored across process death and recreation. Please note the saved delegate is lazy and will not call the init lambda or save anything into the SavedStateRegistry until it is accessed.

  @Serializable
  data class Person(val firstName: String, val lastName: String)
  
  class MyActivity : ComponentActivity() {
      var person by saved { Person("John", "Doe") }
  
      override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
          this.person = Person("Jane", "Doe")
      }
  }
  

• There is a similar saved property delegate for SavedStateHandle added in Lifecycle 2.9.0.

Version 1.0.0-alpha02

March 13, 2019

androidx.savedstate:savedstate:1.0.0-alpha02 is released. androidx.savedstate:savedstate combines artifacts androidx.savedstate:savedstate-bundle and androidx.savedstate:savedstate-common into one artifact, because it was decided to simplify savedstate infrastructure and remove generics from SavedStateRegistry. Thus, there is no need for separate modules.

The full list of commits included in this version can be found here.

• AbstractSavedStateRegistry & BundlableSavedStateRegistry are removed, use simple SavedStateRegistry instead

Version 1.0.0-alpha01

December 17, 2018

This is the first release of SavedState.

New features

androidx.savedstate is a new set of alpha APIs that allow developers to plugin components to the restore / saveInstanceState process. The main entry point of the API is SavedStateRegistry<T>, which provides a way to retrieve previously savedstate via consumeRestoredStateForKey and register a callback to registerSavedStateProvider to provide a savedstate once system requests it.
