How to recompose every minute in Jetpack Compose?

I would like to show a timer counting down in my composable, but I am not sure how to achieve this.
I was thinking to set a delay/timeout for a minute and trigger a recompose that way, but I am not sure if that's the right way to think about it.
#Composable
fun Countdown(completedAt: Date) {
val minutesLeft = ceil((completedAt.time - Date().time) / 60_000.0).toInt()
Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed({
// TODO: Recompose
}, 60_000)
Text(text = "$minutesLeft minutes until completed")
}
My goal is for the text to update every minute with the new time. How can I do this?

Store the amount of minutes as state.
Also make sure to clean up the postDelayed callback inside a DisposableEffect to prevent conflicting delays and memory leaks.
I have moved this logic to a minutesLeft composable function so it can be reused.
#Composable
fun minutesLeft(until: Date): Int {
var value by remember { mutableStateOf(getMinutesLeft(until)) }
DisposableEffect(Unit) {
val handler = Handler(Looper.getMainLooper())
val runnable = {
value = getMinutesLeft(until)
}
handler.postDelayed(runnable, 60_000)
onDispose {
handler.removeCallbacks(runnable)
}
}
return value
}
private fun getMinutesLeft(until: Date): Int {
return ceil((until.time - Date().time) / 60_000.0).toInt()
}
Usage
#Composable
fun Countdown(completedAt: Date) {
val minutes = minutesLeft(until = completedAt)
Text(text = "$minutes minutes until completed")
}

You can use a ViewModel with the CountDownTimer class.
Something like:
val countTimeViewModel : CountTimeViewModel = viewModel()
val minutes = countTimeViewModel.minutes.observeAsState(60)
Button( onClick={
countTimeViewModel.onStartClicked(60000*60) }
){
Text("Start")
}
Text(""+minutes.value)
with:
class CountTimeViewModel : ViewModel() {
private var timer: CountDownTimer? = null
private val _minutes = MutableLiveData(totalTime)
val minutes: LiveData<Int> get() = _minutes
private var totalTime : Long = 0L
fun startCountDown() {
timer = object : CountDownTimer(totalTime, 60000) {
override fun onTick(millisecs: Long) {
// Minutes
val minutes = (millisecs / MSECS_IN_SEC / SECS_IN_MINUTES % SECS_IN_MINUTES).toInt()
_minutes.postValue(minutes)
}
override fun onFinish() {
//...countdown completed
}
}
}
fun onStartClicked(totalTime : Long) {
this.totalTime = totalTime
startCountDown()
timer?.start()
}
override fun onCleared() {
super.onCleared()
timer?.cancel()
}
companion object {
const val SECS_IN_MINUTES = 60
const val MSECS_IN_SEC = 1000
}
}

#Composable
fun minutesLeft(until: Date): Int {
var timeout by remember { mutableStateOf(getMinutesLeft(until)) }
Text(text = "$timeout minutes until completed")
LaunchedEffect(timeout) {
if (timeout > 0) {
delay(1000 * 60)
timeout -= 1
}
}
}
private fun getMinutesLeft(until: Date): Int {
return ceil((until.time - Date().time) / 60_000.0).toInt()
}

these codes may give you an idea to achieve this goal:
val time = (timerDate.time).minus(Calendar.getInstance().timeInMillis)
var timer by remember { mutableStateOf(time) }
LaunchedEffect(key1 = timer) {
if (timer > 0) {
delay(1000L)
timer -= 1000L
}
}
val secMilSec: Long = 1000
val minMilSec = 60 * secMilSec
val hourMilSec = 60 * minMilSec
val dayMilSec = 24 * hourMilSec
val hours = (time % dayMilSec / hourMilSec).toInt()
val minutes = (time % dayMilSec % hourMilSec / minMilSec).toInt()
val seconds = (time % dayMilSec % hourMilSec % minMilSec / secMilSec).toInt()
Text(text = String.format(" %02d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds))

ExoPlayer2 how to loop a part / segment of a video

I have a video of 10 seconds. I want to loop a segment from 2 seconds to 6 seconds. Starting the player at the right time is easy:
player?.seekTo(2000)
I don't think there is a functionality available in the ExoPlayer2 library to define an end position. So I tried to add a delay co-routine. With the method seekToPositionAndStartCounter. This works in a separate project. But used in the actual project, onPlayerStateChanged gets triggered a lot of times all of a sudden.
var elapsedTime = 0L // just for testing
private fun showVideoWhenDoneLoading() {
videoView?.player?.addListener(object : Player.EventListener {
override fun onPlayerStateChanged(playWhenReady: Boolean, playbackState: Int) {
super.onPlayerStateChanged(playWhenReady, playbackState)
if (playbackState == Player.STATE_READY) {
if (playWhenReady) {
seekToPositionAndStartCounter()
} else {
cancelCounter()
}
}
}
})
}
private fun seekToPositionAndStartCounter() {
elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis()
cancelCounter()
job = GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
Timber.d("starting Thread name = ${Thread.currentThread().name}")
player?.seekTo(startPosition)
if (duration != 0L) {
runBlocking {
delay(duration)
}
GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main) {
Timber.d("duration = $duration elapsedTime = ${System.currentTimeMillis()-elapsedTime} Thread name = ${Thread.currentThread().name}")
seekToPositionAndStartCounter()
}
}
}
}
private fun cancelCounter() {
job?.cancel()
job = null
}

If you don't try this then think about this.
getCurrentPosition of player and if player reach end position which you want then run player.seekto(2) it loops the video in specific segment of video.

Format remaining time untill date

I have a date in the future and have to format the remaining time until this day like so.
4 days
1 month, 4 days
1 year, 1 month
I have looked at the DateUtils documentation but haven't seen this exact format.
I'm also fine using an external library like threetenabp.
Is there a library that can handle both the time calculation and the localization of the strings?

I wrote this blog a while ago, it shows how to do the opposite of what you are asking :-) https://blog.blundellapps.co.uk/creating-comments-with-timestamps-like-youtube/ i.e. given a time, say how long ago that was.
Android also offers this solution for times in the past: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/format/DateUtils.html#getRelativeDateTimeString(android.content.Context,%20long,%20long,%20long,%20int).
So you need the opposite of these!
It should not be too hard to inverse. Instead of using the time now and negating the difference of a time in the past. You use the time now and add the time in the future.
So the inverse of: https://github.com/blundell/YouTubeTimeStamps/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/blundell/tut/TimeStampFormatter.kt
The main difference being you want a difference between now and a date in the future, like so:
private fun getMillisFromNow(futureTime: Date): Long {
val futureTimeMillis = futureTime.time
val nowMillis = System.currentTimeMillis()
return futureTimeMillis - nowMillis
}
And then format it. Something like this:
fun format(timestamp: Date): String {
val millisFromNow = getMillisFromNow(timestamp)
val minutesFromNow = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millisFromNow)
if (minutesFromNow < 1) {
return "about now"
}
val hoursFromNow = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millisFromNow)
if (hoursFromNow < 1) {
return formatMinutes(minutesFromNow)
}
val daysFromNow = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(millisFromNow)
if (daysFromNow < 1) {
return formatHours(hoursFromNow)
}
val weeksFromNow = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(millisFromNow) / 7
if (weeksFromNow < 1) {
return formatDays(daysFromNow)
}
val monthsFromNow = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(millisFromNow) / 30
if (monthsFromNow < 1) {
return formatWeeks(weeksFromNow)
}
val yearsFromNow = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(millisFromNow) / 365
return if (yearsFromNow < 1) {
formatMonths(monthsFromNow)
} else formatYears(yearsFromNow)
}
private fun getMillisFromNow(futureTime: Date): Long {
val futureTimeMillis = futureTime.time
val nowMillis = System.currentTimeMillis()
return futureTimeMillis - nowMillis
}
private fun formatMinutes(minutes: Long): String {
return format(minutes, " minute to go", " minutes to go")
}
private fun formatHours(hours: Long): String {
return format(hours, " hour to go", " hours to go")
}
private fun formatDays(days: Long): String {
return format(days, " day to go", " days to go")
}
private fun formatWeeks(weeks: Long): String {
return format(weeks, " week to go", " weeks to go")
}
private fun formatMonths(months: Long): String {
return format(months, " month to go", " months to go")
}
private fun formatYears(years: Long): String {
return format(years, " year to go", " years to go")
}
private fun format(hand: Long, singular: String, plural: String): String {
return if (hand == 1L) {
hand.toString() + singular
} else {
hand.toString() + plural
}
}
Just sanity checked it with this test:
#Test
fun test() {
val twoDaysInMillisInstant = Instant.now().plusMillis(TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(50))
val result = format(Date.from(twoDaysInMillisInstant))
assertEquals("2 days to go", result)
}
For the localization, you can convert this to using Strings.xml.

using threeten's LocalDate you can get the remaining years, months and day from one date to another. Having that values you can 0-check them and show only ones that are > 0.
Simple example:
val futureDate = LocalDate.of(2020,2,20)
val todayDate = LocalDate.now()
val remainingYears = futureDate.year - todayDate.year //output 0
val remainingMonth = futureDate.monthValue - todayDate.monthValue //output 0
val remainingDays = futureDate.dayOfMonth - todayDate.dayOfMonth // output 16
I hope that is what you wanted, cheers!

Kotlin: call a function every second

I want to create a simple countdown for my game, when the game starts I want this function to be called every second:
fun minusOneSecond(){
if secondsLeft > 0{
secondsLeft -= 1
seconds_thegame.text = secondsLeft.toString()
}
}
I tried this:
var secondsLeft = 15
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(
object : TimerTask() {
override fun run() {
minusOneSecond()
}
},0, 1000
) // 1000 Millisecond = 1 second
But the app unfortunately stops, the 2nd time the run function is called
I just started with android development and Kotlin 3 weeks ago and so far I understand the most out of it.
With swift in Xcode I use this line and I thought something similar would work with Kotlin
setTimer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 1, target: self, selector: #selector(minusOneSecond), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

Problem: Timer class uses a background thread with a queue to queue and execute all tasks sequentially. From your code, because you update UI (changing TextView content in minusOneSecond function). That why the app throws the following exception and make your app crash.
android.view.ViewRootImpl$CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the
original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.
Solution: There are many ways to achieve your task, but I prefer using post() and postDelayed() method from Handler class. Because it's simple and easy to understand.
val mainHandler = Handler(Looper.getMainLooper())
mainHandler.post(object : Runnable {
override fun run() {
minusOneSecond()
mainHandler.postDelayed(this, 1000)
}
})
Update: From author's comment about how to pause/resume the task from Handler. Here is an example.
class MainActivityKt : AppCompatActivity() {
lateinit var mainHandler: Handler
private val updateTextTask = object : Runnable {
override fun run() {
minusOneSecond()
mainHandler.postDelayed(this, 1000)
}
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
// Your logic code
...
mainHandler = Handler(Looper.getMainLooper())
}
override fun onPause() {
super.onPause()
mainHandler.removeCallbacks(updateTextTask)
}
override fun onResume() {
super.onResume()
mainHandler.post(updateTextTask)
}
fun minusOneSecond() {
if secondsLeft > 0 {
secondsLeft -= 1
seconds_thegame.text = secondsLeft.toString()
}
}
}

I am using this code to update a clock every minute
fixedRateTimer("timer", false, 0L, 60 * 1000) {
this#FullscreenActivity.runOnUiThread {
tvTime.text = SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM - HH:mm", Locale.US).format(Date())
}
}
so you have to run it with paratemer 1000 instead of 60*1000

val timer = object: CountDownTimer(10000, 1000) {
override fun onTick(millisUntilFinished: Long) {
// do something
}
override fun onFinish() {
// do something
}
}
timer.start()
You can also use CountDownTimer for this purpose. As this takes two parameters (the total time and the interval time)
Plus it also provides an on finish method to perform any task when the total time is finished.

please use
inline fun Timer.schedule(
time: Date,
period: Long,
crossinline action: TimerTask.() -> Unit
): TimerTask
reference: https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.concurrent/java.util.-timer/schedule.html

I am calling my function every second like this
val handler = Handler()
handler.postDelayed(object : Runnable {
override fun run() {
//Call your function here
handler.postDelayed(this, 1000)//1 sec delay
}
}, 0)

My solution
viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
while(isActive) {
when(val response = repository.getApi()) {
is NetworkState.Success -> {
getAllData.postValue(response.data)
}
is NetworkState.Error -> this#MainViewModel.isActive = false
}
delay(API_CALL_DELAY)
}
}

if you use any background task or background service try this code
val timer = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor().scheduleAtFixedRate({
Log.d("RUNNING ","Thread")
},0,10,TimeUnit.SECONDS)
if you work with UI thers like update UI layout try this code
val timer = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor().scheduleAtFixedRate({
Log.d("RUNNING ","BACKGROUN Thread")
runOnUiThread {
Log.d("RUNNING ","Update UI Thread")
btnUpdate.setText(System.currentTimeMillis().toString())
}
},0,1,TimeUnit.SECONDS)

I'm using recursion with Coroutine its very simple
private fun loop() {
CoroutineScope(IO).launch {
delay(5000)
CoroutineScope(Main).launch {
ManagerToWorker()
loop()
}
}
}

var isActionAchieved = false
var secondsPassed = 0
fun cDTimer(){
if (!isActionAchieved && secondsPassed < 10){ // repeat check if Action NOT Achieved for max of 10 seconds
Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed({
repeatThisFunction()
repeater()
secondsPassed++
}, 1000) //one second till next execution
}
}
fun repeater(){
cDTimer()
}

How to implement timer with Kotlin coroutines

I want to implement timer using Kotlin coroutines, something similar to this implemented with RxJava:
Flowable.interval(0, 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.map { LocalDateTime.now() }
.distinctUntilChanged { old, new ->
old.minute == new.minute
}
.subscribe {
setDateTime(it)
}
It will emit LocalDateTime every new minute.

Edit: note that the API suggested in the original answer is now marked #ObsoleteCoroutineApi:
Ticker channels are not currently integrated with structured concurrency and their api will change in the future.
You can now use the Flow API to create your own ticker flow:
import kotlin.time.Duration
import kotlin.time.Duration.Companion.seconds
import kotlinx.coroutines.*
import kotlinx.coroutines.flow.*
fun tickerFlow(period: Duration, initialDelay: Duration = Duration.ZERO) = flow {
delay(initialDelay)
while (true) {
emit(Unit)
delay(period)
}
}
And you can use it in a way very similar to your current code:
tickerFlow(5.seconds)
.map { LocalDateTime.now() }
.distinctUntilChanged { old, new ->
old.minute == new.minute
}
.onEach {
setDateTime(it)
}
.launchIn(viewModelScope) // or lifecycleScope or other
Note: with the code as written here, the time taken to process elements is not taken into account by tickerFlow, so the delay might not be regular (it's a delay between element processing). If you want the ticker to tick independently of the processing of each element, you may want to use a buffer or a dedicated thread (e.g. via flowOn).
Original answer
I believe it is still experimental, but you may use a TickerChannel to produce values every X millis:
val tickerChannel = ticker(delayMillis = 60_000, initialDelayMillis = 0)
repeat(10) {
tickerChannel.receive()
val currentTime = LocalDateTime.now()
println(currentTime)
}
If you need to carry on doing your work while your "subscribe" does something for each "tick", you may launch a background coroutine that will read from this channel and do the thing you want:
val tickerChannel = ticker(delayMillis = 60_000, initialDelayMillis = 0)
launch {
for (event in tickerChannel) {
// the 'event' variable is of type Unit, so we don't really care about it
val currentTime = LocalDateTime.now()
println(currentTime)
}
}
delay(1000)
// when you're done with the ticker and don't want more events
tickerChannel.cancel()
If you want to stop from inside the loop, you can simply break out of it, and then cancel the channel:
val ticker = ticker(500, 0)
var count = 0
for (event in ticker) {
count++
if (count == 4) {
break
} else {
println(count)
}
}
ticker.cancel()

A very pragmatic approach with Kotlin Flows could be:
// Create the timer flow
val timer = (0..Int.MAX_VALUE)
.asSequence()
.asFlow()
.onEach { delay(1_000) } // specify delay
// Consume it
timer.collect {
println("bling: ${it}")
}

another possible solution as a reusable kotlin extension of CoroutineScope
fun CoroutineScope.launchPeriodicAsync(
repeatMillis: Long,
action: () -> Unit
) = this.async {
if (repeatMillis > 0) {
while (isActive) {
action()
delay(repeatMillis)
}
} else {
action()
}
}
and then usage as:
var job = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launchPeriodicAsync(100) {
//...
}
and then to interrupt it:
job.cancel()
another note: we consider here that action is non-blocking and does not take time.

You can create a countdown timer like this
GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main) {
val totalSeconds = TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(2)
val tickSeconds = 1
for (second in totalSeconds downTo tickSeconds) {
val time = String.format("%02d:%02d",
TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(second),
second - TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(second))
)
timerTextView?.text = time
delay(1000)
}
timerTextView?.text = "Done!"
}

Here's a possible solution using Kotlin Flow
fun tickFlow(millis: Long) = callbackFlow<Int> {
val timer = Timer()
var time = 0
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(
object : TimerTask() {
override fun run() {
try { offer(time) } catch (e: Exception) {}
time += 1
}
},
0,
millis)
awaitClose {
timer.cancel()
}
}
Usage
val job = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Main).launch {
tickFlow(125L).collect {
print(it)
}
}
...
job.cancel()

Edit: Joffrey has edited his solution with a better approach.
Old :
Joffrey's solution works for me but I ran into a problem with the for loop.
I have to cancel my ticker in the for loop like this :
val ticker = ticker(500, 0)
for (event in ticker) {
if (...) {
ticker.cancel()
} else {
...
}
}
}
But ticker.cancel() was throwing a cancellationException because the for loop kept going after this.
I had to use a while loop to check if the channel was not closed to not get this exception.
val ticker = ticker(500, 0)
while (!ticker.isClosedForReceive && ticker.iterator().hasNext()) {
if (...) {
ticker.cancel()
} else {
...
}
}
}

Timer with START, PAUSE and STOP functions.
Usage:
val timer = Timer(millisInFuture = 10_000L, runAtStart = false)
timer.start()
Timer class:
import kotlinx.coroutines.*
import kotlinx.coroutines.flow.MutableStateFlow
import kotlinx.coroutines.flow.asStateFlow
enum class PlayerMode {
PLAYING,
PAUSED,
STOPPED
}
class Timer(
val millisInFuture: Long,
val countDownInterval: Long = 1000L,
runAtStart: Boolean = false,
val onFinish: (() -> Unit)? = null,
val onTick: ((Long) -> Unit)? = null
) {
private var job: Job = Job()
private val _tick = MutableStateFlow(0L)
val tick = _tick.asStateFlow()
private val _playerMode = MutableStateFlow(PlayerMode.STOPPED)
val playerMode = _playerMode.asStateFlow()
private val scope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default)
init {
if (runAtStart) start()
}
fun start() {
if (_tick.value == 0L) _tick.value = millisInFuture
job.cancel()
job = scope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
_playerMode.value = PlayerMode.PLAYING
while (isActive) {
if (_tick.value <= 0) {
job.cancel()
onFinish?.invoke()
_playerMode.value = PlayerMode.STOPPED
return#launch
}
delay(timeMillis = countDownInterval)
_tick.value -= countDownInterval
onTick?.invoke(this#Timer._tick.value)
}
}
}
fun pause() {
job.cancel()
_playerMode.value = PlayerMode.PAUSED
}
fun stop() {
job.cancel()
_tick.value = 0
_playerMode.value = PlayerMode.STOPPED
}
}
I took inspiration from here.

Here is Flow version of Observable.intervalRange(1, 5, 0, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS) based on Joffrey's answer:
fun tickerFlow(start: Long,
count: Long,
initialDelayMs: Long,
periodMs: Long) = flow<Long> {
delay(initialDelayMs)
var counter = start
while (counter <= count) {
emit(counter)
counter += 1
delay(periodMs)
}
}
//...
tickerFlow(1, 5, 0, 1_000L)

Made a copy of Observable.intervalRange(0, 90, 0, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS) ( will emit item in 90 sec each 1 sec ):
fun intervalRange(start: Long, count: Long, initialDelay: Long = 0, period: Long, unit: TimeUnit): Flow<Long> {
return flow<Long> {
require(count >= 0) { "count >= 0 required but it was $count" }
require(initialDelay >= 0) { "initialDelay >= 0 required but it was $initialDelay" }
require(period > 0) { "period > 0 required but it was $period" }
val end = start + (count - 1)
require(!(start > 0 && end < 0)) { "Overflow! start + count is bigger than Long.MAX_VALUE" }
if (initialDelay > 0) {
delay(unit.toMillis(initialDelay))
}
var counter = start
while (counter <= count) {
emit(counter)
counter += 1
delay(unit.toMillis(period))
}
}
}
Usage:
lifecycleScope.launch {
intervalRange(0, 90, 0, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.onEach {
Log.d(TAG, "intervalRange: ${90 - it}")
}
.lastOrNull()
}

Used this recently to chunk values based on a timer and max buffer size.
private object Tick
#Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
fun <T : Any> Flow<T>.chunked(size: Int, initialDelay: Long, delay: Long): Flow<List<T>> = flow {
if (size <= 0) throw IllegalArgumentException("invalid chunk size $size - expected > 0")
val chunkedList = mutableListOf<T>()
if (delay > 0L) {
merge(this#chunked, timerFlow(initialDelay, delay, Tick))
} else {
this#chunked
}
.collect {
when (it) {
is Tick -> {
if (chunkedList.isNotEmpty()) {
emit(chunkedList.toList())
chunkedList.clear()
}
}
else -> {
chunkedList.add(it as T)
if (chunkedList.size >= size) {
emit(chunkedList.toList())
chunkedList.clear()
}
}
}
}
if (chunkedList.isNotEmpty()) {
emit(chunkedList.toList())
}
}
fun <T> timerFlow(initialDelay: Long, delay: Long, o: T) = flow {
if (delay <= 0) throw IllegalArgumentException("invalid delay $delay - expected > 0")
if (initialDelay > 0) delay(initialDelay)
while (currentCoroutineContext().isActive) {
emit(o)
delay(delay)
}
}

It's not using Kotlin coroutines, but if your use case is simple enough you can always just use something like a fixedRateTimer or timer (docs here) which resolve to JVM native Timer.
I was using RxJava's interval for a relatively simple scenario and when I switched to using Timers I saw significant performance and memory improvements.
You can also run your code on the main thread on Android by using View.post() or it's mutliple variants.
The only real annoyance is you'll need to keep track of the old time's state yourself instead of relying on RxJava to do it for you.
But this will always be much faster (important if you're doing performance critical stuff like UI animations etc) and will not have the memory overhead of RxJava's Flowables.
Here's the question's code using a fixedRateTimer:
var currentTime: LocalDateTime = LocalDateTime.now()
fixedRateTimer(period = 5000L) {
val newTime = LocalDateTime.now()
if (currentTime.minute != newTime.minute) {
post { // post the below code to the UI thread to update UI stuff
setDateTime(newTime)
}
currentTime = newTime
}
}

enter image description here
enter code here
private val updateLiveShowTicker = flow {
while (true) {
emit(Unit)
delay(1000L * UPDATE_PROGRAM_INFO_INTERVAL_SECONDS)
}
}
private val updateShowProgressTicker = flow {
while (true) {
emit(Unit)
delay(1000L * UPDATE_SHOW_PROGRESS_INTERVAL_SECONDS)
}
}
private val liveShow = updateLiveShowTicker
.combine(channelId) { _, channelId -> programInfoRepository.getShow(channelId) }
.catch { emit(LiveShow(application.getString(R.string.activity_channel_detail_info_error))) }
.shareIn(viewModelScope, SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed(), replay = 1)
.distinctUntilChanged()
My solution,You can now use the Flow API to create your own ticker flow:
