Android : ViewModelStore

Ever wondered how ViewModel survive during configuration changes in our Android apps? 🤔

Let me introduce you to ViewModelStore!

🔍 What is`ViewModelStore`?

ViewModelStore is a class that stores and manages ViewModel instances. It's essential for keeping our ViewModels alive during configuration changes like screen rotations.

📌 Key Features:

RetainViewModels: Keeps ViewModels during configuration changes.
Efficient Resource Management: Automatically clears and notifies ViewModels when they are no longer needed, preventing memory leaks.
Easy Access: Retrieve ViewModelStore instances using ViewModelStoreOwner.getViewModelStore.

🛠️ How Does it Work?

Storing ViewModels: Use the put method to add a ViewModel with a unique key. If a ViewModel with the same key exists, it's replaced and the old one is cleared.
Retrieving ViewModels: Use the get method to fetch a ViewModel by its key.
Listing Keys: Use the keys method to get a set of all keys.
Clearing ViewModels: Call the clear method to notify and remove all ViewModels.

Implementing ViewModel in our app can significantly enhance its stability and performance. Give it a try and see the difference!

That's it for today. Happy Coding...
