Hi, how can I observe when the application is in background? What's the alternative to onStart/onStop lifecycle methods in Compose?

Nothing, at least right now. You'd still need to use the regular activity hooks for that stuff.

there is a

LifecycleOwnerAmbient

that you can use

What are you trying to do?

@flosch thanks, that's what I was looking for. @Ian Lake I have a composable that displays a real-time graph and it is quite battery intensive. So I was thinking that I could unmount the graph composable or just pause the graph temporarily when the app is in background.
