Unexpected Result from Data Binding with RecyclerView and MutableState in Jetpack Compose
I'm working through a tutorial and I'm experimenting with I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm working on a personal project and I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help... I'm experiencing unexpected behavior when trying to use Data Binding with a RecyclerView in a Jetpack Compose setup. Specifically, I have a composable that displays a list of items using RecyclerView, but the UI does not reflect changes to the data stored in a `MutableState`. Here is a snippet of my Composable function: ```kotlin @Composable fun ItemList(items: List<Item>) { LazyColumn { items(items) { item -> ItemView(item) } } } ``` And my RecyclerView adapter: ```kotlin class ItemAdapter(private var items: List<Item>) : RecyclerView.Adapter<ItemAdapter.ItemViewHolder>() { class ItemViewHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) { fun bind(item: Item) { view.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.itemName).text = item.name } } override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ItemViewHolder { val view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.item_view, parent, false) return ItemViewHolder(view) } override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ItemViewHolder, position: Int) { holder.bind(items[position]) } override fun getItemCount(): Int = items.size } ``` In my ViewModel, I have a `MutableState` that I update when data changes: ```kotlin class MyViewModel : ViewModel() { var items by mutableStateOf(listOf<Item>()) private set fun updateItems(newItems: List<Item>) { items = newItems } } ``` When I call `updateItems()` from my activity, the data in `items` seems to update, but the RecyclerView does not reflect these changes. I am registering the adapter with the RecyclerView inside `onCreate()` of my Activity like this: ```kotlin recyclerView.adapter = ItemAdapter(viewModel.items) ``` I have tried notifying the adapter of data changes using `notifyDataSetChanged()`, but that doesn't seem to help either. In my logs, I do see the `updateItems` method being called correctly, but it's like my UI is not updating as expected. Is there something specific I might be missing when integrating Jetpack Compose with a traditional RecyclerView, especially in terms of state management? Any insights would be much appreciated! I'm working on a application that needs to handle this. Thanks in advance! My development environment is Windows. I've been using Kotlin for about a year now. Cheers for any assistance! My team is using Kotlin for this microservice.
