Any trick to retrieving a viewModel instance in the MainActivity class? I tried by viewModels() but this is creating a new view model instance rather than finding the active one.

Your question is neither compose nor Kotlin related.

Check the viewmodel‘s lifecycle documentation
https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/viewmodel#lifecycle

sorry… thx.

@Chrimaeon Is it not relevant to compose multiplatform? Or is there a better channel to discuss that sort of question?

[Chrimaeon]

How to handle a ViewModel in an Activity? That’s plain Android and should not be discussed in a slack workspace by JetBrains.

[Daniel Pitts]

I mean, its relevant to Compose Desktop, which is not "plain Android"

[Chrimaeon]

No, they are asking how to handle the ViewModel in a Activity. There is no Activty in compose desktop.

Ah, I see. The line can be really blurry to someone new to the ecosystem.
