How do I map a StateFlow to another StateFlow? stateFlow.map { } as StateFlow<T> throws a ClassCastException

[rkeazor]

There is a example in the kDoc of how to combine 2 stateFlow

[Orhan Tozan]

The combine is returning a Flow though, instead of a StateFlow

[rkeazor]

But wouldn't that be all you need?

[rkeazor]

that way you can collect from it

[Orhan Tozan]

Not really, the mapped flow still represents a state

[Orhan Tozan]

Of course you can still collect from it, but can't access the flow's value at any time

[rkeazor]

yea that would be the only thing missing. I see what you mean

I filed an issue for it: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/2008
