State Flow and Shared Flow
- Flows are mostly cold but
state-flowandshared-floware exceptions here - The
St.FlowandSh.Flowexist independently of collectors. This means that these flows remain active even if there are no collectors. -
State Flowis a special case ofshared flow.
- This is a flow that acts independently of collectors - Meaning the
share flowis active regardless of whether there are any collectors or not. - Shared flow emits a
current stateandnew stateto the subscribers. -
Shared-flownever completes and remains active. Even though all the subscribers go away, TheShared Flowremains active.
- State Flow is a version of Shared Flow.
- It has a single immutable value.
- It emits current and new states to the subscribers.
- It never completes
- It has a value property and we can retrieve the current value by using that value property.
- It acts as a data holder and observable
-
LiveDatais bound to the UI and the Android but theStateFlowisplatform independent.
