Hello! I'm trying to call an api on button click but am facing issues with it. Can anyone help me figure out how I can do that?

What problem you are having when you call it?

[Sayali N]

I was trying to call the getResponse function within the onClick() like this

But getting the error "@Composable invocations can only happen from the context of a @Composable function", so not sure how to go about calling that function on button click

[Pablichjenkov]

You are calling the rememberCouroutibe function which is mark as composable from the onClick lambda scope which is not. Move it out to the box scope which is Composable scope

[Pablichjenkov]

Pull everything out from onClick lambda and put in box content

Ah okay, and then how can I link it to onClick/call the getResponse when the button is clicked?

[Pablichjenkov]

scope.launch you can leave it inside the onClick. You don't need the launchEffect

Awesome, got it to work! Thank you so much!!

I would advise trying to use some state management library to help with this type of things. Either compose navigation if you are only on Android or Voyager if doing multiplatform.
