Compose views + back stack don't work together as expected

[arthur-ghazaryan]

Hello there! 👋

I'm trying to use jetpack compose with ComposeRibView like this

class HomeViewImpl private constructor(context: Context) : ComposeRibView(context), HomeView {

  private var bottomBar = mutableStateOf<ComposeView?>(null)
  private var content = mutableStateOf<ComposeView?>(null)

  override val composable: @Composable () -> Unit = {
          Column(
              modifier =
                  Modifier.fillMaxSize().background(MaterialTheme.colors.surface)
          ) {
            Box(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth().weight(1f)) {
              content.value?.invoke()
            }
            bottomBar.value?.invoke()
          }
      }

  override fun getParentViewForSubtree(subtreeOf: Node<*>): MutableState<ComposeView?> {
    return when (subtreeOf) {
      is BottomBar -> bottomBar
      else -> content
    }
  }

  class Factory : HomeView.Factory {
    override fun invoke(p1: Nothing?): (RibView) -> HomeView = { HomeViewImpl(it.context) }
  }
}

Backstack uses content to show backstack content. The problem is that when I'm pushing something in the backstack attachChild is called before detachChild, so my content value becomes null after attaching the child. Are there any other ways to use compose with backstack ?

Hi @arthur-ghazaryan! That's weird. I'll try to reproduce it.

Hey @zsoltk 👋 , thanks for your fast response. If it's can help I've created a reproducible sample https://github.com/arthur-ghazaryan/rib-compose-sample

Thanks for the sample, it's really helpful. I checked it and I can confirm there's an issue. I couldn't dig deeper yet, but will do soon.
