A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I’m currently still using lots and lots of LiveData in my project. In fact, I just added even more LiveData. Now, I have skipped frames on some devices (which are older devices with older OS versions) during testing. I’m not 100% certain it is because of the LiveData, or if I accidentally introduces a bug along the way. In either case, could I assume a performance improvement when switching to Kotlin Flows? I know LiveData does still a lot on the main thread under the hood, so I would assume the main thread can be freed from computations by switching to Flow?

Systrace should help you see if those LiveData instances are actually the culprit, and which functions are slowing things down.
