Hi, I have the following flow that im collecting to control my android activity loading state...

[Tower Guidev2]

myAdapter.loadStateFlow
.distinctUntilChangedBy { it.refresh }
.filter { it.refresh is LoadState.NotLoading || it.refresh is LoadState.Error }
.collectLatest { loadState ->
// .. use loadState value to display correct layout
}

I only wish to process the latest value of loadState which i thought would be given to my collectLatest block
however I recive additional values that I would like to filter out some how
is it possible to collectLatest the "actual" latest value?
I improved the situation somewhat by adding .debounce(100L) however I do not like this use of "magic values" as
by adding this instruction i experience intermittent layout issues, e.g. my loading progress spinner is shown permanently

If you filter out values for success, how do you expect to get the event "value is loaded" to stop the loading spinner?

@Joffrey where am i filtering out "success"?
my collect lastest does see all the loadstates i require to control my loading ui states. it just that I see historical values as well
I want to know if theres an approach I can use to filter out the "older" values, especially the old error states as I keep seeing all error
states that have been generated during a user "session", I only want to see the latest error state not all of them
