This may sound stupid but believe me when I do

users.postValue(repository.getUsers(20))

, the getUsers function executes but the value isn't posted but when I do

list = repository.getUsers(20)

and then do

users.postValue(list)

it works totally fine. What's the deal here?

It seems like

repository.getUsers()

should just return a

LiveData

?

Yeah it could but I'm trynna figure out why this is happening

You're probably just better off having it return a

Flow

the entire way up, then use

asLiveData()

to convert it over in your ViewModel

Yeah I guess I'll use a flow when I add network state. Don't even need LiveData since I'm using jetpack compose so I'll just observe the flow as state
