How can I let a composable execute a one-off event? This composable contains and 
AndroidView
which needs to call a method.
m
LaunchedEffect(Unit) ?
f
For this i would have to pass the event Flow all the way down to the composable
is that correct?
m
Since you are interested in the first composition, i don’t think it matters, unless you have some control variables like if(condition) composable()
place it as close as possible. i’m not sure the best practice here
z
If youre looking to call a method on the 
AndroidView
itself, the factory call for it might be viable for that?
m
Or maybe add the effect inside the composable, call a lambda, and do the action outside. Maybe the best practice i dont know 😛
f
@Zoltan Demant the problem is that I need it to happen one time, but compose usually works with state variables
I was considering passing an 
updateThisThing = true
boolean and a callback to reset it
z
The factory function is only invoked once, but if your composable leaves & re-enters the composition it will get called again; is that the problem?
f
the viewmodel sends a one-off event (via a Flow) that the AndroidView nees to react to by calling a method
z
In that case I like what @myanmarking mentioned above, just using 
LaunchedEffect(Unit)
to collect the flow & call the method. I think that makes for the best/cleanest code too, as compared to sending in a boolean & a callback to reset it!
f
But for this i would have to pass the event Flow all the way down to that composable
z
If you have a lot of nesting, it could be worth looking into using a 
CompositionLocal
that contains the flow or some wrapper. How deep is this composable for you?
f
3 levels or so
i just noticed that I can't even call from the LaunchedEffect into the 
AndroidView
So I guess my first idea of passing a boolean and a callback could be the way to go. But I am not sure
The other problem is that 
update
can be called multiple times. This probably makes it not suitable for side-effects like this.
so I ended up passing the boolean & callback
seems to work
