Mohit Sarveiya Kotlin State & Shared Flows in Action @heyitsmohit
Kotlin State & Shared Flows in Action • State Flow
• Shared Flow • Broadcast Channel vs shared flow • Convert cold streams to shared flows • Buffer Overflow Strategies
Cold vs Hot Flows
What is a cold stream? A cold stream is a
flow that triggers the same code every time it is collected.
Cold Flows val flow = flowOf(1, 2, 3) .map
{ it + 1 }
Cold Flows val flow = flowOf(1, 2, 3) .map
{ it + 1 } flow.collect { ... }
Cold Flows val flow = flowOf(1, 2, 3) .map
{ it + 1 } flow.collect { ... }
Cold Flows val flow = flowOf(1, 2, 3) .map
{ it + 1 } flow.collect { ... }
Cold Flows val flow = flowOf(1, 2, 3) .map
{ it + 1 } flow.collect { // 2, 3, 4 }
Cold Flows val flow = flowOf(1, 2, 3) .map
{ it + 1 } flow.collect { ... } flow.collect { ... }
Cold Flows val flow = flowOf(1, 2, 3) .map
{ it + 1 } flow.collect { ... } flow.collect { ... }
Cold Flows val flow = flowOf(1, 2, 3) .map
{ it + 1 } flow.collect { ... } flow.collect { // 2, 3, 4 }
What is a hot stream? A hot stream is a
flow whose active instance exists independently of the presence of collectors.

Flow Sharing Strategies

Sharing Policies • While Subscribed • Eagerly • Lazily
Sharing Policies flow

Sharing Policies flow.shareIn( externalScope, )
Sharing Policies flow.shareIn( externalScope, replay = 1, )
Sharing Policies flow.shareIn( externalScope, replay = 1, started = SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed()
)
Sharing Policies val sharedFlow = flow.shareIn( externalScope, replay = 1,
started = SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed() )
While Subscribed • Active as long as external scope is
alive • Remains as long as there are collectors.
Properties Active as long as external scope is alive
Properties Active as long as external scope is alive sharedFlow.collect

flow.shareIn( externalScope, replay = 1, started = SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed() ) Properties
Active as long as external scope is alive

Properties Remains as long as there are collectors.
Properties Remains as long as there are collectors. val sharedFlow

Properties Remains as long as there are collectors. val sharedFlow

Properties • Active as long as external scope is alive
• Remains as long as there are collectors.
Sharing Policies • While Subscribed • Eagerly • Lazily
Eagerly flow.shareIn( externalScope, replay = 1, started = SharingStarted.Eagerly() )
Eagerly Start producer eagerly and never stop flow .onStart {
println("ON START") } .shareIn( ... started = SharingStarted.Eagerly)
Eagerly Start producer eagerly and never stop flow .onStart {
println("ON START") } .shareIn( ... started = SharingStarted.Eagerly)
Eagerly Start producer eagerly and never stop flow .onStart {
println("ON START") } .shareIn( ... started = SharingStarted.Eagerly) ON START
Eagerly Start producer eagerly and never stop flow .onComplete {
println("ON COMPLETE”) } .shareIn( ... started = SharingStarted.Eagerly)
Eagerly Start producer eagerly and never stop flow .onComplete {
println("ON COMPLETE”) } .shareIn( ... started = SharingStarted.Eagerly) externalScope.cancel()
Eagerly Start producer eagerly and never stop flow .onComplete {
println("ON COMPLETE”) } .shareIn( ... started = SharingStarted.Eagerly) Never stops externalScope.cancel()
Eagerly Start producer eagerly and never stop
Sharing Policies • While Subscribed • Eagerly • Lazily
Lazily Start sharing after the first subscriber appears and never
stop
Lazily flow.shareIn( externalScope, replay = 1, started = SharingStarted.Lazily )
Lazily flow .onStart { println("ON START") } .shareIn(…,started = SharingStarted.Lazily)
Lazily flow .onStart { println("ON START") } .shareIn(…,started = SharingStarted.Lazily)
launch { sharedFlow.collect { } }
Lazily flow .onStart { println("ON START") } .shareIn(…,started = SharingStarted.Lazily)
launch { sharedFlow.collect { } } "ON START"
Lazily flow .onCompletion { println("COMPLETE") } .shareIn(…,started = SharingStarted.Lazily)
flow .onCompletion { println("COMPLETE") } .shareIn(externalScope,…,started = SharingStarted.Lazily) Lazily
flow .onCompletion { println("COMPLETE") } .shareIn(externalScope,…,started = SharingStarted.Lazily) Lazily externalScope.cancel()
flow .onCompletion { println("COMPLETE") } .shareIn(externalScope,…,started = SharingStarted.Lazily) Lazily Never
stops externalScope.cancel()
Lazily Start sharing after the first subscriber appears and never
stop
Sharing Policies • While Subscribed • Active while there are
active subscribers. • Eagerly • Start producer eagerly and never stop • Lazily • Start after the first subscriber appears and never stop
