Cómo mostrar un resultado (basado en estados serializables)

En esta receta, se muestra cómo mostrar un resultado de una pantalla a la anterior con un enfoque basado en estados que sobrevive a los cambios de configuración y al cierre del proceso aprovechando la serialización de Kotlin y rememberSerializable.

Cómo funciona

En este ejemplo, se basa en ResultEventBus y se introduce una función de extensión personalizada conflateAsSerializableState.

  1. ResultEventBusNavEntryDecorator: Es un NavEntryDecorator que proporciona un ResultEventBus a través de LocalResultEventBus.
  2. ResultEventBus: Se crea un ResultEventBus y se pone a disposición de los componibles a través de LocalResultEventBus. Este EventBus envía y recibe los resultados.
  3. conflateAsSerializableState: Es una función de extensión personalizada en ResultEventBus que usa rememberSerializable para crear un contenedor de estado y ResultEffect para escuchar los resultados nuevos y conservarlos.
  4. Envío del resultado: La pantalla que produce el resultado llama a resultBus.sendResult(person) para enviar los datos.
  5. Observación del resultado: La pantalla que necesita el resultado llama a LocalResultEventBus.current.conflateAsSerializableState<Person?>(null) para obtener un objeto State. La IU observa este estado y se vuelve a componer cada vez que cambia el resultado.

Este enfoque es adecuado cuando el resultado debe sobrevivir a los cambios de configuración y al cierre del proceso, mientras que el conflateAsState estándar no lo hace.

Compatibilidad con tipos anulables

La función rememberSerializable estándar tiene una restricción genérica de límite superior de T : Any, lo que impide la conservación directa de tipos anulables.

Para admitir tipos anulables (como Person?), conflateAsSerializableState evita esta restricción envolviendo internamente el valor en una clase @Serializable genérica, NullableWrapper:

@Serializable
private data class NullableWrapper<T>(val value: T)

Serialización de tipos personalizados

Debido a que este enfoque usa rememberSerializable del paquete androidx.compose.runtime.saveable, cualquier clase personalizada que se use como resultado (como Person) debe marcarse con la anotación @Serializable de la serialización de Kotlin:

@Serializable
data class Person(val name: String, val favoriteColor: String)

La función de extensión conflateAsSerializableState recupera automáticamente el KSerializer adecuado a través del auxiliar serializer<T>() cuando se usa la versión reificada:

@Composable
inline fun <reified T> ResultEventBus.conflateAsSerializableState(
    defaultValue: T,
    vararg inputs: Any?,
    configuration: SavedStateConfiguration = SavedStateConfiguration.DEFAULT,
): State<T>
