How do I call a ViewModel method in MainActivity's onStart when using compose? Do I create a property and initialize it in setContent? In the past I would've used by viewModels().
Or should I use something like this?

I don't have an answer but aren't you coding in flow?

what is your usecase? for example, if you expose data from the ViewModel as StateFlow you can have started = SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed() inside stateIn. you also have repeatOnLifecycle and flowWithLifecycle methods for collecting flows. you can take a look how are they implemented, what do they do in order to work properly with compose. again, what is your usecase?

@Yousef yes 👋 @Marko Novakovic thanks for the input. I actually don't need it anymore now 😅
