Any plannings for adding these function?
<R, T : R> LiveData<T>.observeAsState(initial: R, *policy: SnapshotMutationPolicy<R>*): State<R>

[Adam Powell]

No plans to so far. What's your use case?

[Alexander Karkossa]

Maybe very special case.

LiveData<List<Person>> from Database.
List which shows persons, markable as favourite. The Person is not immutable so you set isFavourite = true.
Insert it into Database.

-> The View will not recompose.

Reason: Because of the EqualityPolicy. isFavourite is already true in that person.

Workaround 1 (seems best/the way we use it at the moment): Make person immutable -> call: db.insert(person.copy(isFavourite = true))
Workaround 2: Don't use data class which generates these smart equals methods...

Thought: Maybe the are cases where i would change the policy simmilar to the mutableStateOf()

[Adam Powell]

Yeah I agree with immutable being the best answer in this case
