Skillshub android-state

Standards for ViewModel, StateFlow, and UI State Patterns. Use whenever someone works with ViewModel files, asks about UiState sealed classes, MutableStateFlow vs LiveData, collectAsStateWithLifecycle, viewModelScope, or exposing state from Android ViewModels — even indirectly. (triggers: **/*ViewModel.kt, **/*UiState.kt, viewmodel, stateflow, livedata, uistate, MutableStateFlow, collectAsState, viewModelScope, UiState)

Android State Management

Priority: P0

Implementation Guidelines

ViewModel Pattern

Exposure: Expose ONE
```
StateFlow<UiState>
```
via
```
.asStateFlow()
```
.
Scope: Use
```
viewModelScope
```
for all coroutines.
Initialization: Trigger initial load in
```
init
```
or
```
LaunchedEffect
```
(once).

UI State (LCE)

Type: sealed interface
```
UiState
```
(Loading, Content, Error).
Immutability: Data classes inside should be
```
@Immutable
```
.

Flow Lifecycle

Collection: Use
```
collectAsStateWithLifecycle()
```
in Compose.
Hot Flows: Use
```
SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed(5000)
```
for shared resources.

Anti-Patterns

No LiveData for New Code: Use StateFlow — lifecycle-safe and Compose-compatible.
No Public MutableStateFlow: Expose only
```
.asStateFlow()
```
to consumers.
No Context in ViewModel: Leaks Activity. Use Application context if truly needed.
