Summary

  • add the WheelPicker/wheelPicker* public API and compiler dispatch across native, JS, WASM, and ArkTS backends
  • render native wheel controls with UIPickerView on iOS/visionOS and NumberPicker on Android, with scroll-capable native desktop/web fallbacks
  • cover the new FFI surface, regenerate API docs, and document usage

Closes #5873

No version files were changed.

Testing

  • cargo test -p perry-dispatch -p perry-codegen-arkts -p perry-api-manifest -p perry-ui-test
  • cargo test -p perry-hir -p perry-codegen-js -p perry-codegen-wasm
  • cargo check -p perry-ui-android -p perry-ui-ios -p perry-ui-visionos
  • cargo run --quiet -p perry-doc-tests -- --lint docs/src
  • bun build crates/perry-codegen-js/src/web_runtime.js --target=browser --outfile=target/wheel-picker-web-runtime-check.js
  • bun build crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/wasm_runtime.js --target=browser --outfile=target/wheel-picker-wasm-runtime-check.js

Known baseline

  • a broader Windows desktop check is blocked by current-main perry-runtime native-stack-scan errors (libc::Dl_info / libc::dladdr on Windows)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a cross-platform WheelPicker widget for selecting one item from a scrollable list.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added the WheelPicker widget to the public API, compiler dispatch, web and ArkTS runtimes, and native platform backends. The widget supports item insertion, selected-index access, programmatic selection, and change callbacks.

Changes

WheelPicker widget

Layer / File(s) Summary
API and dispatch integration
crates/perry-api-manifest/..., types/perry/ui/index.d.ts, crates/perry-hir/..., crates/perry-dispatch/..., crates/perry-codegen-*/..., docs/api/perry.d.ts
Registered the constructor and selection APIs. Connected WheelPicker to handle and runtime dispatch.
Web and ArkTS runtime generation
crates/perry-codegen-arkts/..., crates/perry-codegen-js/..., crates/perry-codegen-wasm/...
Generated looping ArkUI TextPicker and scrollable web controls. Added item, selection, and callback handling.
Native platform implementations
crates/perry-ui-android/..., crates/perry-ui-ios/..., crates/perry-ui-visionos/..., crates/perry-ui-{gtk4,macos,tvos,watchos,windows}/...
Added native picker implementations or FFI wrappers. Added platform-specific state, selection validation, and callback forwarding.
Documentation and feature coverage
docs/src/api/reference.md, docs/src/ui/*.md, crates/perry-ui-test/...
Documented WheelPicker and added feature-parity entries for supported platforms.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 2b18e

The new WheelPicker API is not merge-ready: Apple callbacks can become invalid and crash when selection changes, while Android updates can run off the UI thread or abort on Java-side failures. These cross-platform runtime risks should be fixed before merge.

Document the empty range limitation for ArkTS.

The emitter hardcodes range: []. Items added later through wheelPickerAddItem are not folded into this array, so the generated TextPicker shows no rows and onChange cannot fire on ArkTS. The ArkTS Combobox path carries an explicit comment for the same class of gap (emit_widget.rs, near the "Combobox" arm). Add an equivalent comment here so the limitation is discoverable.

Do not panic across the JNI boundary.

create uses .expect() on new_object and on call_static_method. A Java-side failure, for example a missing setNumberPickerCallback in a stale generated project, then unwinds through the JNI frame and aborts the process. The surrounding code in this file uses let _ = env.call_method(...) for the same reason.

Additionally, expect on line 26 leaves the local frame pushed on line 18 unpopped.

Return a sentinel handle and log the failure instead.

🛡️ Proposed fix
-    let picker = env
+    let Ok(picker) = env
         .new_object(
             "android/widget/NumberPicker",
             "(Landroid/content/Context;)V",
             &[JValue::Object(&activity)],
         )
-        .expect("Failed to create NumberPicker");
+    else {
+        let _ = env.exception_clear();
+        unsafe { env.pop_local_frame(&JObject::null()); }
+        return -1;
+    };

Apply the same treatment to the setNumberPickerCallback call and to the new_global_ref call.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

add_item rebuilds the whole item array on every call.

add_item clones the full Vec<String> and calls refresh_items, which allocates a new Java String[] of length n and performs 2n+6 JNI calls. Populating n items therefore costs O(n²) JNI work. Issue #5873 targets large sequential lists such as dates and times, so this path is a hot path.

Consider an explicit flush: keep appends in ITEMS only, and refresh the native control once, either from a batched FFI entry point or lazily on the first set_selected / get_selected / attach.

Route NumberPicker mutations to the Android main looper.

nativeMain runs on the perry-native thread, and get_env() only attaches that thread to the JVM. Route setValue and the mutations in refresh_items through PerryBridge.runOnUiThreadBlocking or another synchronous UI-thread helper.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

setNumberPickerCallback is duplicated in two bridge copies and uses an unqualified NumberPicker type. Both files add the same method and both name NumberPicker without a package prefix, unlike neighbouring additions that fully qualify android.widget.* types. A missing import breaks the Kotlin build for that copy.

title_for_row returns a +1 retained NSString on both Apple backends. Retained::into_raw transfers ownership to the caller, but pickerView:titleForRow:forComponent: is not an alloc/new/copy/mutableCopy selector, so UIKit never releases the value. Each reloadAllComponents leaks one string per visible row.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Unrooted JS closure on both Apple wheel-picker backends. Both files store the on_change NaN-boxed closure as a bare f64 in a CALLBACKS thread_local map. That map is not a GC root, so the closure can be collected before did_select_row dispatches it, and js_nanbox_get_pointer then yields a dangling pointer. The Android twin avoids this by calling callback::register(on_change) first.

  • crates/perry-ui-ios/src/widgets/wheel_picker.rs#L132-L149: root on_change in create before inserting it into CALLBACKS, and store the returned root key instead of the raw value.
  • crates/perry-ui-visionos/src/widgets/wheel_picker.rs#L131-L148: apply the identical rooting change in create.

The root store must dominate every later site that can collect, as required by the coding guidelines: "A GC-managed value's root store must dominate every subsequent site that can collect."

Document the WheelPicker callback type.

The other input entries document the onChange value type. Add onChange: (index: number) => void so users know that the callback receives the selected index. The compiler test and native implementation use the selected index.

Proposed documentation update

+- `WheelPicker(onChange)` — spinning selector on touch platforms and a scrollable selector elsewhere; `onChange: (index: number) => void`; items via `wheelPickerAddItem`

## WheelPicker

A wheel-style selector for long sequential lists such as hours, minutes, or
quantities. It uses `UIPickerView` on iOS/visionOS, `NumberPicker` on Android,
and the platform's scroll-capable selection control on desktop and web.

```typescript,no-test
import { WheelPicker, wheelPickerAddItem } from "perry/ui";

const hours = WheelPicker((index) => console.log("hour:", index));
for (let hour = 0; hour < 24; hour++) {
wheelPickerAddItem(hours, hour.toString().padStart(2, "0"));
}
```

Move the WheelPicker section below the picker.ts include.

The include contains the Picker example, so it currently renders under WheelPicker.

The two new thread-local tables in the iOS and visionOS wheel_picker park a
NaN-boxed on_change closure that no registered scanner reaches — the same
shape as the 112 UI callback tables already pinned. Pin them deliberately so
lint reflects the debt instead of hiding it, and add the changelog fragment.
