Hi, I am using the *databinding* and *ViewModel* with the repository pattern. My repository is exposing *Flow* that contains Result wrapper (indicates Loading, Success or Failure state). I could convert Flow to LiveData in ViewModel and observe (and handle) changes in a fragment, but since I am using databinding, it seems to me as one extra step. Therefore, is there a way how to safely *collect flows* in the *ViewModel*?

you can: <https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/data-binding/observability#stateflow>

Thank you. The problem is I have to parse the result from the flow, and cannot simply map flow to anything else. I have used the _shareIn()_ method with _started=WhileSubscribed_ but I am not sure if it's completely safe.
