Is it ok to handle one-time events with a SharedFlow instead of the LiveData + Event class approach?

Is it ok to handle one-time events with a SharedFlow instead of the LiveData + Event class approach?

[Adam Powell]

the LiveData + Event class approach is a hacky workaround for not having a SharedFlow equivalent instead. Leave it behind and don't look back

[Adam Powell]

Can you clarify what you man by, "one time?"

[André Thiele]

ok great, just wanted to be sure here

[André Thiele]

Just the active subscriber receives the event

[Adam Powell]

"the" as in, "only one subscriber receives" or, "only active subscribers, which may be 0 or many, will all receive the event?"

[Adam Powell]

you can use Channel.receiveAsFlow() for the former and SharedFlow for the latter

ok thx man!
