I have a problem with passing parameters in action `actionSt

Question

I have a problem with passing parameters in action `actionStartActivity` The click parameter is assign during composition and I cannot use hte dynamic state as I can for ActionCallback Rephrasing Is there a way to start activity but using class `ActionCallback` This class is called on click not during composition so i can get my parameters base on glanceID < Marcel Pinto>

Hey I was looking into this again I don t fully get the problem But it won t be feasible to have an action called before starting the activity That would create an Activity Trampoline Right now those are allowed for Widgets but discouraged and might be blocked at some point You could store in the state some identifier and pass that in the intent Then in your activity you could find the GlanceID with that identifier in the state
