hello everyone, I want to know that to hold composables screens states in viewModel which one do I use SharedFlow or StateFlow ? cuurently I am using SharedFlow.

[Michael Paus]

StateFlow which you can then easily .collectAsState() in your composable functions.

Ok, thanks

[Zaki Shaikh]

SharedFlow can be collectAsState though, so what is major difference between them?

@Zaki Shaikh your composables always need to have a state. SharedFlow doesn't need an initial value but StateFlow does.

[Zaki Shaikh]

Yes and also it is easy to access last state by calling state.value, thank you
