Hi all I am getting color from state different in two places in same screen.
State class:

data class AddEditNoteState(
   val color: Int = Note.noteColors.random().toArgb(),
)

In ViewModel:

private val _addEditNoteSate = MutableStateFlow(AddEditNoteState())
val addEditNoteState = _addEditNoteSate
   .asStateFlow()
   .stateIn(viewModelScope, WhileViewSubscribed, AddEditNoteState())

In Compose:

val addEditNoteState by rememberFlowWithLifecycle(viewModel.addEditNoteState).collectAsState(AddEditNoteState())
val noteBackgroundColor = remember {
   Animatable(
      Color(if (noteColor != -1) noteColor else addEditNoteState.color)
   )
}

Now when I access addEditNoteState.color and noteBackgroundColor.value Both are different. Not able to find the error.
Note (noteColor != -1) is not true means we are using addEditNoteState.color in Animatable*

So you’re initializing the noteBackgroundColor to addEditNoteState.color, and then they’re different – does `addEditNoteState`’s value change after that initialization?

There was a problem in using rememberFlowWithLifecycle with collectAsState() in compose.
Only using collectAsState() will work perfectly.
