Hello, is it possible to call a collect in a collect?

I have this code:

dateFlow.collectLatest { date ->
    repository.getContentFromDate(date).collect { result ->

I can change the date so the content update.
But I have a favorite feature on the content.
On the default date, the favorite is working well (I collect the new value) but when I update the date, the collect doesn’t work on favorite events.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

you probably want to do

dateFlow
    .flatMapLatest { date ->
        repository.getContentFromDate(date)
    }
    .collect { result ->

which will cancel the previous repository.getContentFromDate collection on each new date

Thanks, but still the same issue.

I update dateFlow this way:

private val dateFlow: MutableStateFlow<Date> = MutableStateFlow(currentDate)
...
dateFlow.update {
   date
}

Maybe is it wrong?

The getContentFromDate:

override fun getContentFromDate(date: Date): Flow<Result<List<Content>>> = flow {
     emit(Result.Loading)
     ...
}

Aaaaaaah, my bad I managed the data in a specific way and I forgot to branch the data from Room during my network call (I saved the network content in room but I was returning the network “static” content and not the database content)

Thank you @ephemient for your help. At least the method you shared make it cleaner.
