38. Process Death - Testing
    1. Developer Options -> Apps -> Background process limit
    2. Choose ‘No background processes’
    3. Open your app and put in the background
    4. Open another app and switch to your app

42. ViewModel
    ViewModels persist state across Activity recreation.
    ViewModels do not persist state on process death.

43. ViewModel
    ViewModels persist state across Activity recreation.
    ViewModels do not persist state on process death.
    Use SavedStateHandle to save state.

    fun saveProductId(productId: String) {

    }
    fun getProductId(): String {
    return state.get("productId")?: ""

47. onSaveInstanceState is still valid
    class ProfileBottomSheet() : BottomSheetDialogFragment() {
    private lateinit var name: String
    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
    button.setOnClickListener { name = editText.text.toString()}
    }
    override fun onSaveInstanceState(outState: Bundle) {
    outState.putString("name", name)
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState)
    }
    }
    

    View Slide

48. Custom View
    Views can save their own state.
    Views need to have an ID to be able to save state.

49. Custom View
    private class SavedState : BaseSavedState {
    var value = 1
    constructor(superState: Parcelable) : super(superState)
    private constructor(source: Parcel) : super(source) {
    value = source.readInt()
    }
    override fun writeToParcel(out: Parcel, flags: Int) {
    super.writeToParcel(out, flags)
    out.writeInt(value)
    }
    }

50. Custom View
    private class SavedState : BaseSavedState {
    //..
    companion object {
    val CREATOR: Parcelable.Creator =
    object : Parcelable.Creator {
    override fun createFromParcel(source: Parcel) = SavedState(source)
    override fun newArray(size: Int) = arrayOfNulls(size)
    }
    }
    }

51. Custom View
    class CustomView(context: Context) : View(context) {
    var value = 1
    override fun onSaveInstanceState(): Parcelable {
    val superState = super.onSaveInstanceState()
    val state = SavedState(superState)
    state.value = this.value
    return state
    }
    }

52. Custom View
    class CustomView(context: Context) : View(context) {
    override fun onRestoreInstanceState(state: Parcelable) {

    super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedState.superState)
    this.value = savedState.value
    }
    }

53. Fragment
    class ProfileBottomSheet(val name: String) : BottomSheetDialogFragment() {
    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
    textview.setText(name)
    }
    }

54. Fragment - Use Bundle
    val profileBottomSheet = ProfileBottomSheet()
    profileBottomSheet.arguments = Bundle().apply {
    putString("name", "subhrajyoti")
    }
