Accessing layoutInfo field from LazyListState causes the enclosing composable to recompose infinitel-CodePudding

Here's an example:

@Composable
fun MyList(items: List<Item>) {
    val lazyListState = rememberLazyListState()

    lazyListState.layoutInfo // Accessing this field causes MyList to recompose infinitely

    LazyColumn(state = lazyListState) {
        itemsIndexed(items) { _, item ->
            MyItem(item)
        }
    }
}

Why does accessing layoutInfo causes MyList to recompose infinitely? What am I doing wrong here?

CodePudding user response：

You should use it inside derivedStateOf to react when any state you read changes frequently, especially more than recomposition or to cause recomposition on each frame when you read from it

val myState = remember { derivedStateOf { lazyListState.lazyLayoutInfo // access properties} }

as you can see in warning in

Also another option android studio suggest is to use SnapshotFlow as

LaunchedEffect(lazyListState) {
        snapshotFlow { lazyListState.layoutInfo }
            .collect { TODO("Collect the state") }
    }
