Hey Android devs!

Did you know that 70% of interviewers ask about StateFlow vs. SharedFlow? Make sure you're prepared!

Both SharedFlow and StateFlow are built upon the concept of a "hot" flow.

Unlike "cold" flows, which generate data for each collector, "hot" flows share emitted values among multiple collectors.

---

StateFlow:
- holder emitting its current state to new collectors
- has an initial value
- emits subsequent updates to that value

You can think of it as a LiveData replacement in the Kotlin Flow world.

Only the latest value is stored, and that value is emitted to new collectors.

---

SharedFlow:
- initial value is not mandatory
- can replay a certain number of previous emissions to new collectors
- supports features like buffering and backpressure

It allows more advanced use-cases, like broadcasting the same value to multiple collectors.

---

Important:
StateFlow is a specialized kind of SharedFlow.

You can think of StateFlow as a SharedFlow with a replay of 1 (always replays the latest value to new collectors).

This doesn't mean StateFlow is a direct subtype of SharedFlow in terms of OOP inheritance; it's more conceptual.

In a typical Android use-case:

👉 Use StateFlow when you have stateful data that you want to observe. It's analogous to observing a LiveData.

👉 Use SharedFlow when you need more advanced features like buffering, replaying, or when you have events that aren't tied to a particular state (like one-time events).

@sockeqwe Either use the network profiler which is exists within Android Studio. Or use Chucker (https://t.co/0SXQzVNQSI)
Much easier to analyze requests/responses than in the network profiler.

@Zhuinden @codinginflow This. `AppCompatActivity.onActivityResult()` was quite easy to use and straight forward. Recently I wanted to introduce my dad to android development and show him how to pass data between activites. Those contracts were way to complicated to understand for a newbie.

[Andreas Kling @awesomekling]

💁‍♂️ Programming tip: Make some time to learn a new data structure or algorithm every now and then. Implement it by yourself to verify that you've understood it properly.

Growing your repertoire is a fantastic investment in yourself. 🤓👍
