Android Legacy State Standards
Priority: P1
Implementation Guidelines
Flow Consumption
- •Rule: ALWAYS use
repeatOnLifecycle(Lifecycle.State.STARTED)to collect flows in Views. - •Why: Prevents crashes (collecting while view is destroyed) and saves resources (stops collecting in background).
LiveData vs Flow
- •New Code: Use
StateFlowexclusively. - •Legacy: If using LiveData, observe with
viewLifecycleOwner(Fragment), NOTthis.
Anti-Patterns
- •launchWhenX:
**Deprecated**: Use repeatOnLifecycle. - •observe(this):
**Leak Risk**: Use viewLifecycleOwner in Fragments.
