anyone using koin? how do you handle cleaning up? e.g. closing open realm instances on closing app?

[dawidhyzy]

This is why I don’t use Realm.
But how is #koin related to realm lifecycle?

[Eric Martori]

I usually don't work with components that require manual cleanup. But I suppose that you could Scope your realm instances and close the scope and do the cleanup at the end of your application lifecycle

was just wondering how to handle removing listeners with koin in general

[Jan]

scope seems to be solving that

[ursus]

btw there is no thing as app closing

[Jan]

well activity destroy then ^^

Cleaning up realm is not koin's business imho.

I would suggest bind clearing to ViewModel scope

[kzotin]

We currently use both koin & realm - and don't use realm listeners (except few cursors for long lists, which are cleared with ViewModel).

Instead we open & close realm for each request to DB - works pretty stable and quickly

we're using realm listeners and transform them to livedata

https://github.com/exozet/AndroidCore/blob/master/core/src/main/java/com/exozet/android/core/realm/RealmResultsLiveData.kt

https://github.com/exozet/AndroidCore/blob/master/core/src/main/java/com/exozet/android/core/extensions/Realm+Extensions.kt#L9

so that we can run dao.getItems().asLiveData()

question was just how to make sure we don't produce leaks etc
