Has anyone used Kotlin context receivers in an Android project?
What are the exact use cases you have solved in real Android problems?

I've used them sparingly, mainly to cut-down on boilerplate. I have a fragment where there are about a twenty different state-flows to observe and update some traditional Android views, and this was a massive function in the fragment, so i extracted the function to a different file with the viewmodel and fragment as receivers

Thanks, Steven!
Do you have any example code snippets that could help me better understand?

I would not use context receivers now - there will be a different concept, context parameters

You can find a talk about it from KotlinConf over here

So if I understood correctly they dropped context receivers right ?
