I initially had a problem with the shared ViewModel because the child fragments were creating a new instance from the one held by the parent fragment. The ViewModel instantiations below work for me: CreateLogFragment.kt (parent)
|
1 2 3 4 |
class CreateLogFragment : Fragment() { private val mainViewModel: MainViewModel by activityViewModels { MainViewModel.Factory } . . . |
CreateLogFoodFragment.kt (child)
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
class CreateLogFoodFragment : Fragment() { private val mainViewModel: MainViewModel by activityViewModels( null, factoryProducer = { MainViewModel.Factory }) . . . |
CreateLogNotesFragment.kt (another child)
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
class CreateLogFoodFragment : Fragment() { private val mainViewModel: MainViewModel by activityViewModels( null, factoryProducer = { MainViewModel.Factory }) . . . |
by activityViewModels turned things around!
