ConstraintLayout stable release?

Question

Is ConstraintLayout is safe to be used in Production ? Current version is beta 4.

'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.0-beta4'

beta in naming forced me in asking this.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Beta 4 should be pretty stable. The thing with layouts is that if they work for your app, they won't change. We are busy working on the next release which fixes a few corner case issues and improve performances. Aside from the library, the editor in Android Studio 2.2 has issues if the layout is not the top layout. Android Studio 2.3 improves things drastically.
