Whats the correct way to pass a string resource (as an Int) to scaffoldState.snackbarHostState.showSnackbar ? I can't use stringResource there since that's a Composable.

Get the string earlier in a composable function.

[Florian]

but it's passed as an argument

[Dominaezzz]

Yeah where are you keeping this state? In a viewmodel?

[Florian]

it's sent as a one-off event from the ViewModel

[Florian]

through a Flow which I colled in LaunchedEffect

[Dominaezzz]

Ah then idk. Probably best to use Context to get the string at that point.

[Florian]

yea but I don't know how to get the context either 🤔

[Florian]

LocalContext.current doesn't work either

[Florian]

I guess I can pass it from the activity but I don't know if that's good

[Dominaezzz]

Are you not using AndroidViewModel ?

[Florian]

No. But Zhuinden said I can just call LocalContext.current above the LaunchedEffect

[Florian]

and then just use it inside it

[Florian]

no idea if that causes any problems

[muthuraj]

That won't cause any problems. That is the recommended way.
