Ok so I think the answer to this is yes but is it unsafe to have a ViewModel collect from a Flow<T> given to it by a View , Activity or Fragment ?
I.E.

// MyView.kt
val events: Flow<Event> = flowOf(Event1, Event2)

viewModel.handleEvents(events)

Yes, it is possible, but I am more curious to know how you'll be publishing your even't via flow

[dewildte]

I wanted to keep the example simple but in fact it would be more like this:

// MyView.kt
val _events = MutableSharedFlow<Event>()
val events: SharedFlow<Event> = _events.asSharedFlow()
...
viewModel.handleEvents(events)

[dewildte]

If the View gets destroyed there should be no problem no?

[dewildte]

I guess I could just try it.

[andylamax]

So, SharedFlow then, that seems doable. Please do let me know how that goes . . .
