BroadcastChannel | Migrate → SharedFlow (deprecated) |
ConflatedBroadcastChannel | Migrate → StateFlow (deprecated) |
Channel for single-consumer fire-once events (nav, snackbars, one-shot effects) | Keep — correct. Channel(BUFFERED).receiveAsFlow() |
Channel broadcast to multiple collectors | Migrate → SharedFlow (see below) |
Channel as producer-consumer queue | Keep — correct |
Channel.receiveAsFlow() is fan-out, NOT broadcast. With multiple collectors, each event reaches one collector (the framework picks which), not all of them. If every collector must see every event, you need SharedFlow. This is the trap that's easy to fall into when reaching for Channel to multicast.
For single-consumer one-shot events, Channel(BUFFERED).receiveAsFlow() is the default because send suspends until consumed (the event is queued, never dropped), whereas SharedFlow(replay = 0) drops the emission if no collector is active at the instant of emission. Expose the Flow, never the Channel, and collect with collect inside LaunchedEffect — not collectAsStateWithLifecycle, which retains the last event as state and re-fires it on every recomposition / config change.
private val _events = Channel<UiEvent>(Channel.BUFFERED)
val events: Flow<UiEvent> = _events.receiveAsFlow()
// in the UI
LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
viewModel.events.collect { event -> /* navigate / snackbar — consumed once */ }
}
Exactly-once is really at-most-once-with-very-high-probability. A receiveAsFlow() collector cancelled after receive() succeeds but before its block processes the element loses that element. Rare (most cancellations land between receives), but for payment/persistence-critical signals, store the outcome in durable state (a pendingResult field on UiState, cleared by the UI after consumption) — see compose/references/state-management.md "Durable state + acknowledgement".
launch { emit() } over tryEmitDefault to launch { _events.emit(e) } — it suspends until the collector is ready, so the effect is never silently lost. tryEmit() on a default MutableSharedFlow() (no buffer) silently drops when no subscriber is ready; adding extraBufferCapacity = 1 only moves the cliff (a second rapid emission while the buffer is full returns false and is dropped with no error). Use tryEmit only for miss-tolerable effects (tooltip, sound).
The _x (mutable) / x (read-only) two-property idiom collapses into a single property with explicit backing fields — stable in Kotlin 2.4, experimental in 2.3:
val uiState: StateFlow<UiState>
field = MutableStateFlow(UiState()) // inside the class: uiState.update { … }; callers see StateFlow
Applies wherever a StateFlow / SharedFlow is exposed from a mutable backing (MutableStateFlow is a StateFlow, so the default getter type-checks). It does not fit a Channel exposed as a Flow — a Channel isn't a Flow, so keep the explicit _events / receiveAsFlow() pair above. On Kotlin < 2.4 (check the version catalog), keep the classic private val _x + val x = _x.asStateFlow().
// Single value: suspendCancellableCoroutine — always prefer it (propagates cancellation)
suspend fun authenticate(token: String): User = suspendCancellableCoroutine { cont ->
val call = authApi.authenticate(token) { user, error ->
if (user != null) cont.resume(user) else cont.resumeWithException(error ?: Exception())
}
cont.invokeOnCancellation { call.cancel() }
}
// suspendCoroutine only when the API has no cancellation concept at all.
// Stream: callbackFlow — awaitClose is MANDATORY (omitting it leaks the callback and never completes)
fun LocationManager.locationUpdates(provider: String): Flow<Location> = callbackFlow {
val listener = LocationListener { trySend(it) }
requestLocationUpdates(provider, 1000L, 0f, listener)
awaitClose { removeUpdates(listener) }
}
For a third-party SDK with no deregistration API, set a flag inside awaitClose to signal shutdown and document the limitation.
repository.getItems()
.retryWhen { cause, attempt ->
if (cause is IOException && attempt < 3) { delay((attempt + 1) * 1_000L); true } else false
}
.collect { ... }
attempt is the 0-based retry index. Without the attempt < count check the flow retries forever on a persistent error. (retry(3) { it is IOException } is the simple form.)
.catch scope and the cancellation trap.catch intercepts upstream errors only (not exceptions thrown inside collect {}), and — unlike try/catch — it does not swallow CancellationException. So prefer the operator form, and for collector-side work catch specific types.
// ✓ upstream errors, cancellation-safe
repository.getItems().onEach { process(it) }.catch { logger.error(it) }.collect()
// ✗ catch (e: Exception) inside collect/any suspend fn swallows CancellationException and breaks
// structured concurrency — the single most common coroutine bug.
// If a broad catch is unavoidable: if (e is CancellationException) throw e // before handling
combine/map transformsTransform lambdas are pure and re-execute on every upstream emission and every resubscription (e.g. rotation with WhileSubscribed). A viewModelScope.launch {} or event emission inside one fires repeatedly. Move it to onEach after the transform:
combine(userFlow, settingsFlow) { user, settings -> UiState(user, settings) }
.onEach { analytics.logView(it.user.id) } // not inside combine
.stateIn(viewModelScope, SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed(5_000), UiState.Empty)
combine waits for every input to emit at least once before its first emission. If one input is a cold flow that never emits, the combined flow never emits — the classic "screen stuck on Loading" bug. Make each input a StateFlow, give cold inputs onStart { emit(initial) }, or sentinel-prefix them. (combine(a, b) { (x, y) -> … } destructuring doesn't compile.)
Expose Flow from shared code; collect per-platform (iOS: SKIE or a CoroutineScope wrapper). Avoid reading StateFlow.value from non-coroutine iOS contexts — use a collection wrapper.
Flow testing lives in android-skills:android-testing — read the two-schedulers trap (runTest + MainDispatcherRule must share one scheduler) before asserting on hot flows.

# Kotlin Flows
This reference covers the Flow traps and semantic edge cases — Channel vs SharedFlow, callback bridging, retry/error handling, side effects in transforms, and KMP boundaries — not the basics of cold/hot streams, the operator table, or lifecycle-safe collection.
## Channel vs SharedFlow — the semantics that bite
| Found | Action |
|---|---|
| `BroadcastChannel` | Migrate → `SharedFlow` (deprecated) |
| `ConflatedBroadcastChannel` | Migrate → `StateFlow` (deprecated) |
| `Channel` for single-consumer fire-once events (nav, snackbars, one-shot effects) | **Keep — correct.** `Channel(BUFFERED).receiveAsFlow()` |
| `Channel` broadcast to multiple collectors | Migrate → `SharedFlow` (see below) |
| `Channel` as producer-consumer queue | Keep — correct |
**`Channel.receiveAsFlow()` is fan-out, NOT broadcast.** With multiple collectors, each event reaches **one** collector (the framework picks which), not all of them. If every collector must see every event, you need `SharedFlow`. This is the trap that's easy to fall into when reaching for `Channel` to multicast.
For single-consumer one-shot events, `Channel(BUFFERED).receiveAsFlow()` is the default because `send` suspends until consumed (the event is queued, never dropped), whereas `SharedFlow(replay = 0)` drops the emission if no collector is active at the instant of emission. Expose the `Flow`, never the `Channel`, and collect with `collect` inside `LaunchedEffect` — **not** `collectAsStateWithLifecycle`, which retains the last event as state and re-fires it on every recomposition / config change.
```kotlin
private val _events = Channel<UiEvent>(Channel.BUFFERED)
val events: Flow<UiEvent> = _events.receiveAsFlow()
// in the UI
LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
viewModel.events.collect { event -> /* navigate / snackbar — consumed once */ }
}
```
**Exactly-once is really at-most-once-with-very-high-probability.** A `receiveAsFlow()` collector cancelled *after* `receive()` succeeds but *before* its block processes the element loses that element. Rare (most cancellations land between receives), but for payment/persistence-critical signals, store the outcome in durable state (a `pendingResult` field on `UiState`, cleared by the UI after consumption) — see `compose/references/state-management.md` "Durable state + acknowledgement".
### SharedFlow: `launch { emit() }` over `tryEmit`
Default to `launch { _events.emit(e) }` — it suspends until the collector is ready, so the effect is never silently lost. `tryEmit()` on a default `MutableSharedFlow()` (no buffer) **silently drops** when no subscriber is ready; adding `extraBufferCapacity = 1` only moves the cliff (a second rapid emission while the buffer is full returns `false` and is dropped with no error). Use `tryEmit` only for miss-tolerable effects (tooltip, sound).
## Exposing a read-only flow — explicit backing fields (Kotlin 2.4+)
The `_x` (mutable) / `x` (read-only) two-property idiom collapses into a single property with explicit backing fields — stable in Kotlin **2.4**, experimental in 2.3:
```kotlin
val uiState: StateFlow<UiState>
field = MutableStateFlow(UiState()) // inside the class: uiState.update { … }; callers see StateFlow
```
Applies wherever a `StateFlow` / `SharedFlow` is exposed from a mutable backing (`MutableStateFlow` *is* a `StateFlow`, so the default getter type-checks). It does **not** fit a `Channel` exposed as a `Flow` — a `Channel` isn't a `Flow`, so keep the explicit `_events` / `receiveAsFlow()` pair above. On Kotlin < 2.4 (check the version catalog), keep the classic `private val _x` + `val x = _x.asStateFlow()`.
## Callback bridging
```kotlin
// Single value: suspendCancellableCoroutine — always prefer it (propagates cancellation)
suspend fun authenticate(token: String): User = suspendCancellableCoroutine { cont ->
val call = authApi.authenticate(token) { user, error ->
if (user != null) cont.resume(user) else cont.resumeWithException(error ?: Exception())
}
cont.invokeOnCancellation { call.cancel() }
}
// suspendCoroutine only when the API has no cancellation concept at all.
// Stream: callbackFlow — awaitClose is MANDATORY (omitting it leaks the callback and never completes)
fun LocationManager.locationUpdates(provider: String): Flow<Location> = callbackFlow {
val listener = LocationListener { trySend(it) }
requestLocationUpdates(provider, 1000L, 0f, listener)
awaitClose { removeUpdates(listener) }
}
```
For a third-party SDK with no deregistration API, set a flag inside `awaitClose` to signal shutdown and document the limitation.
## retry / retryWhen — always guard the attempt count
```kotlin
repository.getItems()
.retryWhen { cause, attempt ->
if (cause is IOException && attempt < 3) { delay((attempt + 1) * 1_000L); true } else false
}
.collect { ... }
```
`attempt` is the 0-based retry index. Without the `attempt <` count check the flow retries **forever** on a persistent error. (`retry(3) { it is IOException }` is the simple form.)
## Error handling — `.catch` scope and the cancellation trap
`.catch` intercepts **upstream** errors only (not exceptions thrown inside `collect {}`), and — unlike `try/catch` — it does not swallow `CancellationException`. So prefer the operator form, and for collector-side work catch **specific** types.
```kotlin
// ✓ upstream errors, cancellation-safe
repository.getItems().onEach { process(it) }.catch { logger.error(it) }.collect()
// ✗ catch (e: Exception) inside collect/any suspend fn swallows CancellationException and breaks
// structured concurrency — the single most common coroutine bug.
// If a broad catch is unavoidable: if (e is CancellationException) throw e // before handling
```
## Side effects belong outside `combine`/`map` transforms
Transform lambdas are pure and **re-execute on every upstream emission and every resubscription** (e.g. rotation with `WhileSubscribed`). A `viewModelScope.launch {}` or event emission inside one fires repeatedly. Move it to `onEach` after the transform:
```kotlin
combine(userFlow, settingsFlow) { user, settings -> UiState(user, settings) }
.onEach { analytics.logView(it.user.id) } // not inside combine
.stateIn(viewModelScope, SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed(5_000), UiState.Empty)
```
**`combine` waits for every input to emit at least once before its first emission.** If one input is a cold flow that never emits, the combined flow never emits — the classic "screen stuck on Loading" bug. Make each input a `StateFlow`, give cold inputs `onStart { emit(initial) }`, or sentinel-prefix them. (`combine(a, b) { (x, y) -> … }` destructuring doesn't compile.)
## KMP
Expose `Flow` from shared code; collect per-platform (iOS: SKIE or a `CoroutineScope` wrapper). Avoid reading `StateFlow.value` from non-coroutine iOS contexts — use a collection wrapper.
## Testing
Flow testing lives in `android-skills:android-testing` — read the two-schedulers trap (`runTest` + `MainDispatcherRule` must share one scheduler) before asserting on hot flows.
