I am writing a toy Android app using Kotlin flow and Android Paging 3 library. The app calls some remote API to get a list of photos, and display them using a RecyclerView with a PagingDataAdapter.
I find that the code after pagingAdapter.submitData() is not executed.
Here is the code snippet (this function is in a Fragment):
fun refreshList() {
lifecycleScope.launch {
photosViewModel.listPhotos().collect {
// `it` is PagingData<Photo>
pagingAdapter.submitData(it)
Log.e(TAG, "After submitData")
}
}
}
The log After submitData is not printed.
However, if I put the logging in front of the pagingAdapter.submitData() line, it is printed, like this:
fun refreshList() {
lifecycleScope.launch {
photosViewModel.listPhotos().collect {
// `it` is PagingData<Photo>
Log.e(TAG, "Before submitData")
pagingAdapter.submitData(it)
}
}
}
The log Before submitData is printed with no problem.
Why does this happen, please?
