I don't understand why this function does not work. I expect to get two distinct results and instead I am getting all of the duplicates as well. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

items(state.newsFeedItems) {println(listOf(it.feedTitle).distinct())}

[Joffrey]

listOf(it.feedTitle) is a list of 1 element. Calling distinct() on it has no effect because there cannot be duplicates in this list.

[Joffrey]

What you want is eliminating the duplicates in the original list instead (the one you pass to items() I guess)

ah ok, makes sense! Thanks!
