Does anyone know how to update a recyclerview that is inside a Compose AndroidView?

[Gerardo Ernesto Rodriguez Navar]

This is the AndroidView that contains the recyclerview

[Gerardo Ernesto Rodriguez Navar]

AndroidView(
    factory = { context ->
        val recyclerView = RecyclerView(context)
        val linearLayoutManager =
            LinearLayoutManager(context, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false)

        with(recyclerView) {
            layoutManager = linearLayoutManager
            adapter = dateSelectorAdapter
        }

        recyclerView
    },
    update = {}
)

When a mutableState changes in my viewModel ideally I would want to update the adapter to update the recyclerView

Move your adapter = dateSelectorAdapter to the update lambda

Thanks @Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]! I’ll try it 😄

The documentation of AndroidView) may be helpful, there are a few important things to know about it, and it has guidance on how to use it properly. The docs explain that factory only produces the view and will only be called once, while "the update block can be run multiple times due to recomposition, and it is the right place to set View properties depending on state"
