Android ViewModel onChanged called when data isn't changed - android

I have a Fragment, with a dynamic number of a custom views, consisting in an EditText and a Button. What I do is that every time the user types a price in the EditText and clicks the Button, I make an API request through a ViewModel, and my Fragment observes the LiveData in the ViewModel.
So far so good, when I use the first custom view. The problem comes on the second one (and the third), because the onChanged() method is apparently called even tho the data has not changed, and the second and the third custom views are listening to that data, so they change when they are NOT the ones triggering the data change (they receive the data change from the first one).
When the user clicks on the Button, the way I observe and fetch the price is this:
val observer = Observer<NetworkViewState> { networkViewState ->
processResponse(networkViewState, moneySpent, coin, date)
}
boardingHistoricalPriceViewModel.coinDayAveragePrice.observe(this, observer)
boardingHistoricalPriceViewModel.getDayAveragePrice(coin.symbol,
addedCoinDatePriceView.selectedSpinnerItem, dateInMillis)
and what is happening is that the method processResponse gets called when the second custom view triggered the API request, but the result I receive is the one that coinDayAveragePrice has before the API response arrives (this is the value after the first API response from the first custom view has arrived).
This is part of my ViewModel:
val coinDayAveragePrice: MutableLiveData<NetworkViewState> = MutableLiveData()
fun getDayAveragePrice(symbol: String, currency: String, dateInMillis: Long) {
coinRepository
.getDayAverage(symbol, currency, "MidHighLow", dateInMillis)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.doOnSubscribe { coinDayAveragePrice.postValue(NetworkViewState.Loading()) }
.subscribeBy(onSuccess = {
coinDayAveragePrice.postValue(NetworkViewState.Success(it))
}, onError = { throwable ->
coinDayAveragePrice.postValue(NetworkViewState.Error(throwable.localizedMessage))
})
}
NetworkViewState is just a sealed class meant as a wrapper for a response of an API request:
sealed class NetworkViewState {
class Loading : NetworkViewState()
class Success<out T>(val item: T) : NetworkViewState()
class Error(val errorMessage: String?) : NetworkViewState()
}
I have also tried to unsubscribe or to set the coinDayAveragePrice to null, but still I have the same problem.
Thanks a lot in advance!

So, without seeing your ViewModel, it's hard to be sure exactly what the problem is, but I think it's what I indicated in my comment. In that case, one solution is to use a different kind of LiveData. I got this basic idea from a blog post (don't remember the link :-/), but here's the class:
private const val TAG = "SingleLiveData"
/**
* A lifecycle-aware observable that sends only new updates after subscription, used for events like
* navigation and Snackbar messages.
*
* This avoids a common problem with events: on configuration change (like rotation) an update
* can be emitted if the observer is active. This LiveData only calls the observable if there's an
* explicit call to setValue() or call().
*
* Note that only one observer is going to be notified of changes.
*/
open class SingleLiveData<T> : MutableLiveData<T>() {
private val pending = AtomicBoolean(false)
#MainThread
override fun observe(owner: LifecycleOwner, observer: Observer<T>) {
if (hasActiveObservers()) {
Logger.w(TAG, "Multiple observers registered but only one will be notified of changes.")
}
// Observe the internal MutableLiveData
super.observe(owner, wrapObserver(observer))
}
#MainThread
override fun observeForever(observer: Observer<T>) {
if (hasActiveObservers()) {
Logger.w(TAG, "Multiple observers registered but only one will be notified of changes.")
}
super.observeForever(wrapObserver(observer))
}
private fun wrapObserver(observer: Observer<T>): Observer<T> {
return Observer {
if (pending.compareAndSet(true, false)) {
observer.onChanged(it)
}
}
}
#MainThread
override fun setValue(t: T?) {
pending.set(true)
super.setValue(t)
}
/**
* Used for cases where T is Void, to make calls cleaner.
*/
#MainThread
fun call() {
value = null
}
}
Obviously, one problem with this is that it won't permit multiple observers of the same live data. However, if you require that, hopefully this class will give you some ideas.

ViewModel refetching data again with distinctUntilChanged()

I have a Fragment that I want to do a fetch once on its data, I have used distinctUntilChanged() to fetch just once because my location is not changing during this fragment.
Fragment
private val viewModel by viewModels<LandingViewModel> {
VMLandingFactory(
LandingRepoImpl(
LandingDataSource()
)
)
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
val sharedPref = requireContext().getSharedPreferences("LOCATION", Context.MODE_PRIVATE)
val nombre = sharedPref.getString("name", null)
location = name!!
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
setupRecyclerView()
fetchShops(location)
}
private fun fetchShops(localidad: String) {
viewModel.setLocation(location.toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT).trim())
viewModel.fetchShopList
.observe(viewLifecycleOwner, Observer {
when (it) {
is Resource.Loading -> {
showProgress()
}
is Resource.Success -> {
hideProgress()
myAdapter.setItems(it.data)
}
is Resource.Failure -> {
hideProgress()
Toast.makeText(
requireContext(),
"There was an error loading the shops.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
).show()
}
}
})
}
Viewmodel
private val locationQuery = MutableLiveData<String>()
fun setLocation(location: String) {
locationQuery.value = location
}
val fetchShopList = locationQuery.distinctUntilChanged().switchMap { location ->
liveData(viewModelScope.coroutineContext + Dispatchers.IO) {
emit(Resource.Loading())
try{
emit(repo.getShopList(location))
}catch (e:Exception){
emit(Resource.Failure(e))
}
}
}
Now, if I go to the next fragment and press back, this fires again, I know that maybe this is because the fragment is recreating and then passing a new instance of viewmodel and thats why the location is not retained, but if I put activityViewModels as the instance of the viewmodel, it also happends the same, the data is loaded again on backpress, this is not acceptable since going back will get the data each time and this is not server efficient for me, I need to just fetch this data when the user is in this fragment and if they press back to not fetch it again.
Any clues ?
I'm using navigation components, so I cant use .add or do fragment transactions, I want to just fetch once on this fragment when creating it first time and not refetching on backpress of the next fragment
TL;DR
You need to use a LiveData that emits its event only once, even if the ui re-subscribe to it. for more info and explanation and ways to fix, continue reading.
When you go from Fragment 1 -> Fragment 2, Fragment 1 is not actually destroyed right away, it just un-subscribe from your ViewModel LiveData.
Now when you go back from F2 to F1, the fragment will re-subscribe back to ViewModel LiveData, and since the LiveData is - by nature - state holder, then it will re-emit its latest value right away, causing the ui to rebind.
What you need is some sort of LiveData that won't emit an event that has been emitted before.
This is common use case with LiveData, there's a pretty nice article talking about this need for a similar LiveData for different types of use cases, you can read it here.
Although the article proposed a couple of solutions but those can be a bit of an overkill sometimes, so a simpler solution would be using the following ActionLiveView
// First extend the MutableLiveData class
class ActionLiveData<T> : MutableLiveData<T>() {
#MainThread
override fun observe(owner: LifecycleOwner, observer: Observer<T?>) {
// Being strict about the observer numbers is up to you
// I thought it made sense to only allow one to handle the event
if (hasObservers()) {
throw Throwable("Only one observer at a time may subscribe to a ActionLiveData")
}
super.observe(owner, Observer { data ->
// We ignore any null values and early return
if (data == null) return
observer.onChanged(data)
// We set the value to null straight after emitting the change to the observer
value = null
// This means that the state of the data will always be null / non existent
// It will only be available to the observer in its callback and since we do not emit null values
// the observer never receives a null value and any observers resuming do not receive the last event.
// Therefore it only emits to the observer the single action so you are free to show messages over and over again
// Or launch an activity/dialog or anything that should only happen once per action / click :).
})
}
// Just a nicely named method that wraps setting the value
#MainThread
fun sendAction(data: T) {
value = data
}
}
You can find more explainiation for ActionLiveData in this link if you want.
I would advise using the ActionLiveData class, I've been using it for small to medium project size and it's working alright so far, but again, you know your use cases better than me. :)

Communication between view and ViewModel in MVVM with LiveData

What is a proper way to communicate between the ViewModel and the View, Google architecture components give use LiveData in which the view subscribes to the changes and update itself accordingly, but this communication not suitable for single events, for example show message, show progress, hide progress etc.
There are some hacks like SingleLiveEvent in Googles example but it work only for 1 observer.
Some developers using EventBus but i think it can quickly get out of control when the project grows.
Is there a convenience and correct way to implement it, how do you implement it?
(Java examples welcome too)
Yeah I agree, SingleLiveEvent is a hacky solution and EventBus (in my experience) always lead to trouble.
I found a class called ConsumableValue a while back when reading the Google CodeLabs for Kotlin Coroutines, and I found it to be a good, clean solution that has served me well (ConsumableValue.kt):
class ConsumableValue<T>(private val data: T) {
private var consumed = false
/**
* Process this event, will only be called once
*/
#UiThread
fun handle(block: ConsumableValue<T>.(T) -> Unit) {
val wasConsumed = consumed
consumed = true
if (!wasConsumed) {
this.block(data)
}
}
/**
* Inside a handle lambda, you may call this if you discover that you cannot handle
* the event right now. It will mark the event as available to be handled by another handler.
*/
#UiThread
fun ConsumableValue<T>.markUnhandled() {
consumed = false
}
}
class MyViewModel : ViewModel {
private val _oneShotEvent = MutableLiveData<ConsumableValue<String>>()
val oneShotEvent: LiveData<ConsumableValue<String>>() = _oneShotData
fun fireEvent(msg: String) {
_oneShotEvent.value = ConsumableValue(msg)
}
}
// In Fragment or Activity
viewModel.oneShotEvent.observe(this, Observer { value ->
value?.handle { Log("TAG", "Message:$it")}
})
In short, the handle {...} block will only be called once, so there's no need for clearing the value if you return to a screen.
What about using Kotlin Flow?
I do not believe they have the same behavior that LiveData has where it would alway give you the latest value. Its just a subscription similar to the workaround SingleLiveEvent for LiveData.
Here is a video explaining the difference that I think you will find interesting and answer your questions
https://youtu.be/B8ppnjGPAGE?t=535
try this:
/**
* Used as a wrapper for data that is exposed via a LiveData that represents an event.
*/
open class Event<out T>(private val content: T) {
var hasBeenHandled = false
private set // Allow external read but not write
/**
* Returns the content and prevents its use again.
*/
fun getContentIfNotHandled(): T? {
return if (hasBeenHandled) {
null
} else {
hasBeenHandled = true
content
}
}
/**
* Returns the content, even if it's already been handled.
*/
fun peekContent(): T = content
}
And wrapper it into LiveData
class ListViewModel : ViewModel {
private val _navigateToDetails = MutableLiveData<Event<String>>()
val navigateToDetails : LiveData<Event<String>>
get() = _navigateToDetails
fun userClicksOnButton(itemId: String) {
_navigateToDetails.value = Event(itemId) // Trigger the event by setting a new Event as a new value
}
}
And observe
myViewModel.navigateToDetails.observe(this, Observer {
it.getContentIfNotHandled()?.let { // Only proceed if the event has never been handled
startActivity(DetailsActivity...)
}
})
link reference: Use an Event wrapper
For showing/hiding progress dialogs and showing error messages from a failed network call on loading of the screen, you can use a wrapper that encapsulates the LiveData that the View is observing.
Details about this method are in the addendum to app architecture:
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/docs/guide#addendum
Define a Resource:
data class Resource<out T> constructor(
val state: ResourceState,
val data: T? = null,
val message: String? = null
)
And a ResourceState:
sealed class ResourceState {
object LOADING : ResourceState()
object SUCCESS : ResourceState()
object ERROR : ResourceState()
}
In the ViewModel, define your LiveData with the model wrapped in a Resource:
val exampleLiveData = MutableLiveData<Resource<ExampleModel>>()
Also in the ViewModel, define the method that makes the API call to load the data for the current screen:
fun loadDataForView() = compositeDisposable.add(
exampleUseCase.exampleApiCall()
.doOnSubscribe {
exampleLiveData.setLoading()
}
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(
{
exampleLiveData.setSuccess(it)
},
{
exampleLiveData.setError(it.message)
}
)
)
In the View, set up the Observer on creation:
viewModel.exampleLiveData.observe(this, Observer {
updateResponse(it)
})
Here is the example updateResponse() method, showing/hiding progress, and showing an error if appropriate:
private fun updateResponse(resource: Resource<ExampleModel>?) {
resource?.let {
when (it.state) {
ResourceState.LOADING -> {
showProgress()
}
ResourceState.SUCCESS -> {
hideProgress()
// Use data to populate data on screen
// it.data will have the data of type ExampleModel
}
ResourceState.ERROR -> {
hideProgress()
// Show error message
// it.message will have the error message
}
}
}
}
You can easily achieve this by not using LiveData, and instead using Event-Emitter library that I wrote specifically to solve this problem without relying on LiveData (which is an anti-pattern outlined by Google, and I am not aware of any other relevant alternatives).
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
implementation 'com.github.Zhuinden:event-emitter:1.0.0'
If you also copy the LiveEvent class , then now you can do
private val emitter: EventEmitter<String> = EventEmitter()
val events: EventSource<String> get() = emitter
fun doSomething() {
emitter.emit("hello")
}
And
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
viewModel = getViewModel<MyViewModel>()
viewModel.events.observe(viewLifecycleOwner) { event ->
// ...
}
}
// inline fun <reified T: ViewModel> Fragment.getViewModel(): T = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(T::class.java)
For rationale, you can check out my article I wrote to explain why the alternatives aren't as valid approaches.
You can however nowadays also use a Channel(UNLIMITED) and expose it as a flow using asFlow(). That wasn't really applicable back in 2019.

How to call again LiveData Coroutine Block

I'm using LiveData's version "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-ktx:2.2.0-alpha05". Once my LiveData block executes successfully I want to explicitly trigger it to execute again, e.g.
I navigate to a fragment
User's data loads
I click delete btn while being in the same fragment
User's data should refresh
I have a fragment where I observe my LiveData, a ViewModel with LiveData and Repository:
ViewModel:
fun getUserLiveData() = liveData(Dispatchers.IO) {
val userData = usersRepo.getUser(userId)
emit(userData)
}
Fragment:
viewModel.getUserLiveData.observe(viewLifecycleOwner,
androidx.lifecycle.Observer {..
Then I'm trying to achieve desired behaviour like this:
viewModel.deleteUser()
viewModel.getUserLiveData()
According to the documentation below LiveData block won't execute if it has completed successfully and if I put a while(true) inside the LiveData block, then my data refreshes, however I don't want this to do since I need to update my view reactively.
If the [block] completes successfully or is cancelled due to reasons other than [LiveData]
becoming inactive, it will not be re-executed even after [LiveData] goes through active
inactive cycle.
Perhaps I'm missing something how I can reuse the same LiveDataScope to achieve this? Any help would be appreciated.
To do this with liveData { .. } block you need to define some source of commands and then subscribe to them in a block. Example:
MyViewModel() : ViewModel() {
val commandsChannel = Channel<Command>()
val liveData = livedata {
commandsChannel.consumeEach { command ->
// you could have different kind of commands
//or emit just Unit to notify, that refresh is needed
val newData = getSomeNewData()
emit(newData)
}
}
fun deleteUser() {
.... // delete user
commandsChannel.send(RefreshUsersListCommand)
}
}
Question you should ask yourself: Maybe it would be easier to use ordinary MutableLiveData instead, and mutate its value by yourself?
livedata { ... } builder works well, when you can collect some stream of data (like a Flow / Flowable from Room DB) and not so well for plain, non stream sources, which you need to ask for data by yourself.
I found a solution for this. We can use switchMap to call the LiveDataScope manually.
First, let see the official example for switchMap:
/**
* Here is an example class that holds a typed-in name of a user
* `String` (such as from an `EditText`) in a [MutableLiveData] and
* returns a `LiveData` containing a List of `User` objects for users that have
* that name. It populates that `LiveData` by requerying a repository-pattern object
* each time the typed name changes.
* <p>
* This `ViewModel` would permit the observing UI to update "live" as the user ID text
* changes.
**/
class UserViewModel: AndroidViewModel {
val nameQueryLiveData : MutableLiveData<String> = ...
fun usersWithNameLiveData(): LiveData<List<String>> = nameQueryLiveData.switchMap {
name -> myDataSource.usersWithNameLiveData(name)
}
fun setNameQuery(val name: String) {
this.nameQueryLiveData.value = name;
}
}
The example was very clear. We just need to change nameQueryLiveData to your own type and then combine it with LiveDataScope. Such as:
class UserViewModel: AndroidViewModel {
val _action : MutableLiveData<NetworkAction> = ...
fun usersWithNameLiveData(): LiveData<List<String>> = _action.switchMap {
action -> liveData(Dispatchers.IO){
when (action) {
Init -> {
// first network request or fragment reusing
// check cache or something you saved.
val cache = getCache()
if (cache == null) {
// real fecth data from network
cache = repo.loadData()
}
saveCache(cache)
emit(cache)
}
Reload -> {
val ret = repo.loadData()
saveCache(ret)
emit(ret)
}
}
}
}
// call this in activity, fragment or any view
fun fetchData(ac: NetworkAction) {
this._action.value = ac;
}
sealed class NetworkAction{
object Init:NetworkAction()
object Reload:NetworkAction()
}
}
First add implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:2.2.0" to your gradle file. Make your ViewModel as follows:
MyViewModel() : ViewModel() {
val userList = MutableLiveData<MutableList<User>>()
fun getUserList() {
viewModelScope.launch {
userList.postValue(usersRepo.getUser(userId))
}
}
}
Then onserve the userList:
viewModel.sessionChartData.observe(viewLifecycleOwner, Observer { users ->
// Do whatever you want with "users" data
})
Make an extension to delete single user from userList and get notified:
fun <T> MutableLiveData<MutableList<T>>.removeItemAt(index: Int) {
if (!this.value.isNullOrEmpty()) {
val oldValue = this.value
oldValue?.removeAt(index)
this.value = oldValue
} else {
this.value = mutableListOf()
}
}
Call that extension function to delete any user and you will be notified in your Observer block after one user get deleted.
viewModel.userList.removeItemAt(5) // Index 5
When you want to get userList from data source just call viewModel.getUserList() You will get data to the observer block.
private val usersLiveData = liveData(Dispatchers.IO) {
val retrievedUsers = MyApplication.moodle.getEnrolledUsersCoroutine(course)
repo.users = retrievedUsers
roles.postValue(repo.findRolesByAll())
emit(retrievedUsers)
}
init {
usersMediator.addSource(usersLiveData){ usersMediator.value = it }
}
fun refreshUsers() {
usersMediator.removeSource(usersLiveData)
usersMediator.addSource(usersLiveData) { usersMediator.value = it }
The commands in liveData block {} doesn't get executed again.
Okay yes, the observer in the viewmodel holding activity get's triggered, but with old data.
No further network call.
Sad. Very sad. "Solution" seemed promisingly and less boilerplaty compared to the other suggestions with Channel and SwitchMap mechanisms.
You can use MediatorLiveData for this.
The following is a gist of how you may be able to achieve this.
class YourViewModel : ViewModel() {
val mediatorLiveData = MediatorLiveData<String>()
private val liveData = liveData<String> { }
init {
mediatorLiveData.addSource(liveData){mediatorLiveData.value = it}
}
fun refresh() {
mediatorLiveData.removeSource(liveData)
mediatorLiveData.addSource(liveData) {mediatorLiveData.value = it}
}
}
Expose mediatorLiveData to your View and observe() the same, call refresh() when your user is deleted and the rest should work as is.

Use LiveData without Lifecycle Owner

I could not find any information, if it's a bad idea to use LiveData without a lifecycle owner. And if it is, what could be the alternative?
Let me give you just a simple example
class Item() {
private lateinit var property: MutableLiveData<Boolean>
init {
property.value = false
}
fun getProperty(): LiveData<Boolean> = property
fun toggleProperty() {
property.value = when (property.value) {
false -> true
else -> false
}
}
}
class ItemHolder {
private val item = Item()
private lateinit var observer: Observer<Boolean>
fun init() {
observer = Observer<Boolean> { item ->
updateView(item)
}
item.getProperty().observeForever(observer)
}
fun destroy() {
item.getProperty().removeObserver(observer)
}
fun clickOnButton() {
item.toggleProperty();
}
private fun updateView(item: Boolean?) {
// do something
}
}
You can register an observer without an associated LifecycleOwner object using the
observeForever(Observer) method
like that:
orderRepo.getServices().observeForever(new Observer<List<Order>>() {
#Override
public void onChanged(List<Order> orders) {
//
}
});
You can register an observer without an associated LifecycleOwner object using the observeForever(Observer) method. In this case, the observer is considered to be always active and is therefore always notified about modifications. You can remove these observers calling the removeObserver(Observer) method.
Ref
https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/livedata.html#work_livedata
For me LiveData has two benefits:
It aware of life cycle events and will deliver updates only in an appropriate state of a subscriber (Activity/Fragment).
It holds the last posted value, and updates with it new subscribers.
As already been said, if you're using it out of the life cycle components (Activity/Fragment) and the delivered update could be managed anytime, then you can use it without life cycle holder, otherwise, sooner or later, it may result in a crash, or data loss.
As an alternative to the LiveData behavior, I can suggest a BehaviourSubject from RxJava2 framework, which acts almost the same, holding the last updated value, and updating with it new subscribers.

MVVM // ViewModel event being fired on Activity rotation (recreated)

Reading the Google docs I found (sort of) an example of using a selectedItem in order to propagate an event being fired to other observers, this is my current implementation:
ViewModel
public void onListItemClicked(Item item) {
if (selectedItem.getValue() == item) {
return;
}
selectedItem.postValue(item);
}
public LiveData<Item> getSelectedItem() {
if (selectedItem == null) {
selectedItem = new MutableLiveData<>();
}
return selectedItem;
}
View
ListViewModel viewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(ListViewModel.class);
viewModel.getSelectedItem().observe(this, new Observer<Item>() {
#Override
public void onChanged(#Nullable Item item) {
if (item != null) {
openDetailActivity(item);
}
}
});
And when the user clicks the list:
#Override
public void onItemClicked(Item item) {
viewModel.onListItemClicked(item);
}
All good and all it works, the problem is when the user rotates the screen and the ListActivity is re-created detects a change and will open the DetailActivity when subscribing.
I found a workaround which is adding selectedItem.postValue(null); on the getSelectedItem() but it's a little hacky.
Ofc one could argue that the opening the details activity and propagating the even should be separate, but I was wondering if someone has a better implementation/suggestion.
EDIT
Using the SingleLiveEvent is the way to go. This makes sure your ViewModel only fires the event once.
Here's the reference article:
LiveData with SnackBar, Navigation and other events (the SingleLiveEvent case)
Java class can be found in the article
I've created a gist with the Kotlin class.
I've been using with success for these use-cases:
Always up-to-date gist SingleLiveEvent.kt
I'll keep the gist up-to-date, but I'll leave the code here also
(FYI this might be outdated as I won't be editing this answer every time I make a change to the gist):
package YOUR_PACKAGE
import androidx.annotation.MainThread
import androidx.annotation.Nullable
import androidx.lifecycle.LifecycleOwner
import androidx.lifecycle.MutableLiveData
import androidx.lifecycle.Observer
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean
/**
* A lifecycle-aware observable that sends only new updates after subscription, used for events like

* <p>
* This avoids a common problem with events: on configuration change (like rotation) an update
* can be emitted if the observer is active. This LiveData only calls the observable if there's an
* explicit call to setValue() or call().
* <p>
* Note that only one observer is going to be notified of changes.
*/
class SingleLiveEvent<T> : MutableLiveData<T>() {
private val mPending = AtomicBoolean(false)
#MainThread
override fun observe(owner: LifecycleOwner, observer: Observer<in T>) {
// Observe the internal MutableLiveData
super.observe(owner, Observer<T> { t ->
if (mPending.compareAndSet(true, false)) {
observer.onChanged(t)
}
})
}
#MainThread
override fun setValue(#Nullable t: T?) {
mPending.set(true)
super.setValue(t)
}
/**
* Used for cases where T is Void, to make calls cleaner.
*/
#MainThread
fun call() {
value = null
}
}
Old answer:
So after researching quite a bit and getting with contact with a Google dev. the recommended solution is to have separate responsibilities.
Opening an activity should the response to the click event and not the actual change, this type of selectedItem scenarios is especially useful for decoupled communication to other listening Views.
e.g another fragment in the same activity
