Restituzione di un risultato (basato sullo stato serializzabile)

Questa ricetta mostra come restituire un risultato da una schermata a una precedente utilizzando un approccio basato sullo stato che sopravvive alle modifiche alla configurazione e all'interruzione del processo sfruttando Kotlin Serialization e rememberSerializable.

Come funziona

Questo esempio si basa su ResultEventBus e introduce una funzione di estensione personalizzata conflateAsSerializableState.

  1. ResultEventBusNavEntryDecorator: un NavEntryDecorator che fornisce un ResultEventBus tramite LocalResultEventBus.
  2. ResultEventBus: viene creato un ResultEventBus e reso disponibile ai componenti componibili tramite LocalResultEventBus. Questo EventBus invia e riceve i risultati.
  3. conflateAsSerializableState: una funzione di estensione personalizzata su ResultEventBus che utilizza rememberSerializable per creare un contenitore di stato e ResultEffect per ascoltare i nuovi risultati e renderli persistenti.
  4. Invio del risultato: la schermata che produce il risultato chiama resultBus.sendResult(person) per inviare nuovamente i dati.
  5. Osservazione del risultato: la schermata che richiede il risultato chiama LocalResultEventBus.current.conflateAsSerializableState<Person?>(null) per ottenere un oggetto State. La UI osserva questo stato e si ricompone ogni volta che il risultato cambia.

Questo approccio è adatto quando il risultato deve sopravvivere alle modifiche alla configurazione e all'interruzione del processo, mentre lo standard conflateAsState non lo fa.

Supporto dei tipi Nullable

La funzione standard rememberSerializable ha un vincolo generico di limite superiore di T : Any, che impedisce la conservazione diretta dei tipi Nullable.

Per supportare i tipi che accettano valori null (ad esempio Person?), conflateAsSerializableState aggira questa limitazione eseguendo il wrapping interno del valore in una classe @Serializable generica, NullableWrapper:

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

Serializzazione dei tipi personalizzati

Poiché questo approccio utilizza rememberSerializable dal pacchetto androidx.compose.runtime.saveable, qualsiasi classe personalizzata utilizzata come risultato (come Person) deve essere contrassegnata con l'annotazione @Serializable di Kotlin Serialization:

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

La funzione di estensione conflateAsSerializableState recupera automaticamente il KSerializer appropriato tramite l'helper serializer<T>() quando viene utilizzata la versione reificata:

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