I upload the file with workmanager. I want to observe the workmanager progress and show file upload progress in ui. I also update the progress variable with the high order function. The problem is my screen is constantly recomposed. I see that the progress suddenly reaches 100.
In the following example in WorkManager codelab, it is done with viewbinding(https://developer.android.com/codelabs/android-adv-workmanager#4)
How can I update progress bar on ui according to the progress of worker in workmanager ?

private fun progressObserver(state: (Float) -> Unit): androidx.lifecycle.Observer<List<WorkInfo>> {
    return androidx.lifecycle.Observer { listOfWorkInfo ->
        if (listOfWorkInfo.isNullOrEmpty()) {
            return@Observer
        }

        listOfWorkInfo.forEach { workInfo ->
            if (WorkInfo.State.RUNNING == workInfo.state) {
                val progress = workInfo.progress.getInt(PROGRESS, 0)
                state(progress.toFloat())
            }
        }
    }
}

@OptIn(ExperimentalFoundationApi::class)
@Composable
fun EditProfileComposableComponent(
    modifier: Modifier,
) {
    var progress = remember { mutableStateOf(0.1f) }
    profileViewModel.progressWorkInfoItems.observe(lifecycleOwner, progressObserver(
        state = { state -> progress.value = state }
    ))  
     LinearProgressIndicator(
            progress = progress.value,
            modifier = modifier.fillMaxWidth(1f),
            backgroundColor = backgroundColor
      )
   ...
}

I think what you are looking for is observeAsState

[Timo Drick]

For me it looks ok. But you need to respect the lifecycle of compose components.
You should use DisposableEffect() to subscribe unsubscribe for state updates.

observeAsState() does all that for you. Just use that

[Hatice Sarp]

Thank you for the answers. i changed the code like this.

val progressWorkInfo = profileViewModel.progressWorkInfoItems.observeAsState()

but I don't understand the thing how do I access the worker's progress values to give it to LinearProgressIndicator? @Ian Lake

The codelab you're following published an int as progress and uses workInfo.progress.getInt(PROGRESS, 0)
