another one 😅 it's not possible to instantiate

LiveData

with a fixed value (like `Observable`'s

just

), without having to use

MutableLiveData

?

I am not sure about how

LiveData

works but based on the docs LiveData has a default value constructor. https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/lifecycle/LiveData.html#LiveData(T) Is that what you are looking for?

that doesn't work, because

LiveData

is an abstract class @kioba

sorry, I haven’t used LiveData but you might have more luck in the #android channel

@iex simplest factory method would solve your problem

@Maciek that's convenient but a hack kinda 😛

to be honest capitalized letter is also kinda a pattern, at least in kotlin standard library 😉 here's the factory method for list from standard library

public inline fun <T> List(size: Int, init: (index: Int) -> T): List<T> = MutableList(size, init)
