Anyone stumble across ViewModel death during language change?

[Sam]

is onCleared being called?

[dawidhyzy]

Just checked and, yes

[dawidhyzy]

Do you have idea why this is called?

[dawidhyzy]

I debugged and in FragmentActivity.onDestroy() ViewModelStore is not null by mRetaining is false so mViewModelStore.clear() is called. Do you know why mRetaining is false?

[Sam]

Are you using ViewModel or AndroidViewModel? AndroidViewModel has access to resources using Application.getResources()

[dawidhyzy]

ViewModel

[Sam]

@dawidhyzy This works fine for me, both ViewModel and AndroidViewModel

[Sam]

@dawidhyzy Try this https://github.com/Ethan1983/ViewModelConfigChange. I'm curious if you found the cause

[dawidhyzy]

Issue was caused by bug in Support Library 27.1.1

[dawidhyzy]

After update to 28 it works as supposed

[Sam]

Ah, gotcha
