Hi! I have an issue with StateFlow -> when I open the screen for the first time and do actions to emit new values then value is updated, but when I re-open the view then value is not updated to initial value, but old value is still there.

This is the way I try to keep the state up to date:

private val valueChanges: MutableSharedFlow<Int> = MutableSharedFlow(
  extraBufferCapacity = 1, onBufferOverflow = BufferOverflow.DROP_OLDEST
)

private val valueState: StateFlow<Int> = valueChanges
  .stateIn(scope, SharingStarted.Eagerly, 0)

Then at the very beginning of the whole flow I call this function where changes is valueChanges flow:

updateChangesOnStart(changes: Flow<Int>) = changes
  .onStart { emit(0) }

To update the state later I use:

scope.launch{
  valueChanges.emit(${passed number})
}

Is the scope the one that does not allow me to update the value when function is reused?

check the second param of stateIn
