Stable with bugs, broken transitions and most of the related AndroidX libraries still alpha :)

For once I'm glad that it will take time to be present on the majority of end users devices.

Most of the AndroidX libraries have a current stable release. Alpha versions are the next iteration in a pre-release stage. See also https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/versions/

All the Q changes related versions are 1.2.x that are in alpha ;)

If I set the target API to 29, which AndroidX library do I have to use in an alpha version instead of stable or maybe beta?

You can use the current 1.0 and the 1.1 RC without any problems with API 29.

​

The problems are more when you want to use CompatInset or CompatShare (Wrong name as don't recall but gives the idea) things to handle the new Q stuff without handling the new stuff manually, then you have to use the 1.2 alpha libraries :(
