I have a ScreenA which is using MyViewModel instantiated using hiltViewModel() function.
ScreenA calls ScreenB. I want to share MyViewModel between both screens. However, I’m popping ScreenA when I’m calling ScreenB.
Is there a way to do this without create a custom ViewModelStoreOwner? 🤔

You might wanna make ScreenA and ScreenB part of a nested navigation graph. They can then share a viewmodel by scoping it to the nested nav graph.

Seems like a good idea… 🤔

NavHost {
  navigation(route = "myNestedGraph") {
    composable { // ScreenA 
      val vm = hiltViewModel<MyViewModel>(viewModelStoreOwner = navController.getBackStackEntry("myNestedGraph"))
    }
    composable { // ScreenB
      // Get the vm in the same way.
    }
  }
}

It worked like a charm 😉 thanks @julioromano
