i have code like this:

class MyViewModel: ViewModel() {

    val myRepository = ExampleRepository()

    init {
        fetchServerRequest()
    }

    fun reload() {
        fetchServerRequest()
    }

    private fun fetchServerRequest() {
        viewModelScope.launch {
            myRepository.fetchServerRequest() //repository returns Flow<String>
                .collect {
                    //handle result
                }
        }
    }
}

Repository returns cold Flow. Is it correct to create new coroutine c every time when i call this method?

Or coroutine will be finished when code in collect will finished?

What you are doing is fine, viewModelScope.launch() isn't creating a new Coroutine, it creates a new Job, you can see the return type if you put the mouse on the launch().

Or coroutine will be finished when code in collect will finished?
