Hey! How should we approach time-dependable UI with Jetpack Compose? Let's say I have a message in chat and it has statuses (sending, sent, delivered). When it's delivered we should hide the message status in 5 seconds from its delivery time. Can I use

System.currentTimeMillis()

in if inside composable directly (I think it won't cause recomposition)? Or should I pass it as part of the state and change with old good timer? Or are there better approaches?

Just use LaunchedEffect with delay(5.seconds)

I'd steer clear of doing any computation like that directly within the composition, you're just asking for problems. That's what the various "effects" APIs are for.

produceValue

might be a good choice for this

val showStatus by produceState(true) {
    value = true
    delay(5000)
    value = false
}
