Kotlin Coroutines & Flow ViewModel with StateFlow @HiltViewModel class UserViewModel @Inject constructor( private val getUserUseCase: GetUserUseCase, private val savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle ) : ViewModel() {
private val _uiState = MutableStateFlow(UserUiState())
val uiState: StateFlow<UserUiState> = _uiState.asStateFlow()
private val userId: String = checkNotNull(savedStateHandle["userId"])
init {
loadUser()
}
fun loadUser() {
viewModelScope.launch {
_uiState.update { it.copy(isLoading = true) }
getUserUseCase(userId)
.catch { e ->
_uiState.update {
it.copy(isLoading = false, error = e.message)
}
}
.collect { user ->
_uiState.update {
it.copy(isLoading = false, user = user, error = null)
}
}
}
}
fun clearError() {
_uiState.update { it.copy(error = null) }
}
}
data class UserUiState( val user: User? = null, val isLoading: Boolean = false, val error: String? = null )
Repository with Flow
interface UserRepository {
fun getUser(userId: String): Flow>
suspend fun saveUser(user: User)
}
class UserRepositoryImpl @Inject constructor( private val api: UserApi, private val dao: UserDao, private val dispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher = Dispatchers.IO ) : UserRepository {
override fun getUser(userId: String): Flow<User> = flow {
// Emit cached data first
dao.getUserById(userId)?.let { emit(it) }
// Fetch from network and update cache
val remoteUser = api.getUser(userId)
dao.insert(remoteUser)
emit(remoteUser)
}.flowOn(dispatcher)
override fun observeUsers(): Flow<List<User>> =
dao.observeAllUsers().flowOn(dispatcher)
override suspend fun saveUser(user: User) = withContext(dispatcher) {
api.saveUser(user)
dao.insert(user)
}
}
Jetpack Compose Screen with ViewModel @Composable fun UserScreen( viewModel: UserViewModel = hiltViewModel(), onNavigateBack: () -> Unit ) { val uiState by viewModel.uiState.collectAsStateWithLifecycle()
UserScreenContent(
uiState = uiState,
onRefresh = viewModel::loadUser,
onErrorDismiss = viewModel::clearError,
onNavigateBack = onNavigateBack
)
}
@Composable private fun UserScreenContent( uiState: UserUiState, onRefresh: () -> Unit, onErrorDismiss: () -> Unit, onNavigateBack: () -> Unit ) { Scaffold( topBar = { TopAppBar( title = { Text("User Profile") }, navigationIcon = { IconButton(onClick = onNavigateBack) { Icon(Icons.AutoMirrored.Filled.ArrowBack, "Back") } } ) } ) { padding -> Box( modifier = Modifier .fillMaxSize() .padding(padding) ) { when { uiState.isLoading -> { CircularProgressIndicator( modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.Center) ) } uiState.user != null -> { UserContent(user = uiState.user) } }
uiState.error?.let { error ->
Snackbar(
modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.BottomCenter),
action = {
TextButton(onClick = onErrorDismiss) {
Text("Dismiss")
}
}
) {
Text(error)
}
}
}
}
}
Sealed Classes for State
Result Wrapper
sealed interface Result
fun
inline fun

Kotlin Anti-Patterns ❌ Blocking coroutines on Main - Never use runBlocking on main thread ❌ GlobalScope usage - Use structured concurrency with viewModelScope/lifecycleScope ❌ Collecting flows in init - Use repeatOnLifecycle or collectAsStateWithLifecycle ❌ Mutable state exposure - Expose StateFlow not MutableStateFlow ❌ Not handling exceptions in flows - Always use catch operator ❌ Lateinit for nullable - Use lazy or nullable with ? ❌ Hardcoded dispatchers - Inject dispatchers for testability ❌ Not using sealed classes - Prefer sealed for finite state sets ❌ Side effects in Composables - Use LaunchedEffect/SideEffect ❌ Unstable Compose parameters - Use stable/immutable types or @Stable
