Agent-skills-standard android-state

Configure ViewModel state emission with StateFlow, sealed UiState classes, and lifecycle-safe collection in Android. Use when working with ViewModel files, UiState sealed classes, MutableStateFlow, collectAsStateWithLifecycle, or exposing state from ViewModels. (triggers: **/*ViewModel.kt, **/*UiState.kt, viewmodel, stateflow, livedata, uistate, MutableStateFlow, collectAsState, viewModelScope, UiState)

Android State Management

Priority: P0

1. Structure ViewModel

Expose ONE
```
StateFlow<UiState>
```
via
```
.asStateFlow()
```
.
Use
```
viewModelScope
```
for all coroutines.
Trigger initial load in
```
init
```
block.

See templates for ViewModel and UiState examples.

2. Define UI State (LCE Pattern)

Use sealed interface with Loading, Content, Error variants.
Mark data classes
```
@Immutable
```
.

See templates for sealed UiState pattern.

3. Collect State Lifecycle-Safely

Use
```
collectAsStateWithLifecycle()
```
in Compose.
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.
