Do you have a Flow or a StateFlow? If a plain Flow, what do you mean by "its value"?

[the great warrior]

it is a flow

[the great warrior]

I mean if it is true or false

[Joffrey]

A Flow is a stream of values, so if you have a Flow<Boolean> it's not obvious which boolean value you're talking about. Do you mean the first emitted value upon collection?

[the great warrior]

yes

[Joffrey]

I guess the comments and answers on the SO question summarize what I wanted to say pretty well already

[the great warrior]

thanks Joffrey Bion I really I appreciate your help

[Joffrey]

What is your Flow backed by? How are values produced? This might help me understand why it makes sense for you to talk about "the value" of the flow

[Joffrey]

If you want the first value, you could always do runBlocking { flow.first() } but it's almost certainly wrong to do so, hence why I'm trying to grasp your particular use case better

[Joffrey]

thanks Joffrey Bion I really I appreciate your help

Is that sincere or passive-aggressive?

[the great warrior]

of course that is sincere, you already answered my question (runBlocking { flow.first() })

[Joffrey]

Ok, that message was before, though. Hence my question

[Joffrey]

Note that I told you this solution was very likely a wrong solution. Most likely using a StateFlow instead would be more appropriate if you want to access a "current value" but also have observability.
