Question about LifecycleOwner

[Ilya193]

Hi!

Components
RootComponent
Test1Component
Test2Component

Do I understand correctly that the LifecycleOwner is from androidx.lifecycle.compose.LocalLifecycleOwner without using JetpackComponentContext in Test2Content not display ON_PAUSE, ON_STOP and ON_DESTROY if navigating backwards from Test2Component?

[Ilya193]

correction: LifecycleOwner is from androidx.lifecycle

Decompose does nothing with LocalLifecycleOwner, so it's probably returns the hosting Activity (or Fragment). The recommended way is to handle lifecycle things in your components. If you really need it Compose, then you would have to do it manually: let your component extend LifecycleOwner interface (no need to implement, already done via ComponentContext). The you can propagate LocalLifecycleOwner manually for you child inside Children {...} or ChildStack {...}.

Please tell me, is there an example in the documentation?

Sorry for the late reply, I have just add this information to docs: https://arkivanov.github.io/Decompose/component/jetpack-component-context/#locallifecycleowner-in-compose

[Ilya193]

Please tell me, is it possible to use JetpackComponentContext together with retainedComponent, and also to create only individual components with JetpackComponentContext in the constructor?

Yes, both options should work fine.
