RetainObserver
-
Cmn
interface RetainObserver
Objects implementing this interface are notified of their usage in retain.
An object is retained when its first captured as the return result of the calculation block used with retain. It is retired when the retain invocation is removed from composition and not being retained. In between being retained and retired, objects may enter and exit the composition. This occurs when the retained object is removed from composition but transiently held on to if the removed portion of the composition hierarchy is to be restored with its retained state.
When objects implementing this interface are retained or entering composition together, their onRetained and onEnteredComposition callbacks are dispatched in the order that they were added to the composition. When objects exit composition together, the onExitedComposition callback is invoked in the opposite order that the objects appear in the composition hierarchy. There are no ordering guarantees around when or in what order the onRetired callback may be dispatched.
Objects that implement this interface and used in the composition as the result of a remember call will receive no callbacks to this interface, and are encouraged to implement RememberObserver either additionally or instead of RetainObserver.

Public functions
onEnteredComposition
fun onEnteredComposition(): Unit
Called after onRetained or onExitedComposition to indicate that content in the composition hierarchy has successfully realized this value as the return result of a call to retain. A composition is currently referencing this object.
This callback has the same ordering guarantees as RememberObserver.onRemembered, relative both to other RetainObservers and other RememberObserver instances. This function can be called multiple times and will be invoked only after onRetained or onExitedComposition.
onExitedComposition
fun onExitedComposition(): Unit
Called after onEnteredComposition to indicate that the Composition this value was retained for is no longer referencing this object. This object will be retained until onRetired or onEnteredComposition is called, at which point it can either be released entirely or reused, respectively.
This callback is invoked in the opposite order as onEnteredComposition and has the same ordering guarantees as RememberObserver.onForgotten, relative both to other RetainObservers and other RememberObserver instances.
onRetained
fun onRetained(): Unit
Called when this object is first returned as the result of the calculation block to retain.
onRetired
fun onRetired(): Unit
Called to indicate that this value was not used by a composition and will not be retained further. This value will never be reused unless it's returned as a result of the retain calculation block (and receives another call to onRetained).
This callback can be invoked after either onRetained, to indicate that the value was created but the composition was abandoned (see RememberObserver.onAbandoned), or after onExitedComposition. When called after onExitedComposition, this indicates that this value was previously used in composition, but the content retaining this value has been removed and will not be returned to (either because the relevant RetainScope was not retaining at the time of removal, or the removed content was not restored after all retained objects were restored).
Implementations of this method can be used to release resources held by the instance.
This callback does not guarantee any relative ordering among other RetainObserver instances. Similarly, because the timing of a retainment period comes with no guarantees, there could be an arbitrary delay between onExitedComposition and when this method is called — anywhere between immediately after exiting the composition, a single frame later, or indefinitely later.
