A handle to saved state passed down to androidx.lifecycle.ViewModel. You should use SavedStateViewModelFactory if you want to receive this object in ViewModel's constructor.

This is a key-value map that will let you write and retrieve objects to and from the saved state. These values will persist after the process is killed by the system and remain available via the same object.

You can read a value from it via get or observe it via androidx.lifecycle.LiveData returned by getLiveData.

You can write a value to it via set or setting a value to androidx.lifecycle.MutableLiveData returned by getLiveData.

Public constructors

SavedStateHandle

Cmn android
Added in 1.0.0
SavedStateHandle()

Creates a handle with the empty state.

SavedStateHandle

Cmn android
Added in 1.0.0
SavedStateHandle(initialState: Map<String, Any?>)

Creates a handle with the given initial arguments.

Parameters

Public functions

clearSavedStateProvider

Cmn android
Added in 2.3.0
@MainThread
fun clearSavedStateProvider(key: String): Unit

Clear any SavedStateProvider that was previously set via setSavedStateProvider.

Note: calling this method within SavedStateProvider.saveState is supported, but will only affect future state saving operations.

Parameters
key: String

a key previously used with setSavedStateProvider

contains

Cmn android
Added in 1.0.0
@MainThread
operator fun contains(key: String): Boolean
Parameters
key: String

The identifier for the value
Returns
Boolean

true if there is value associated with the given key.

get

Cmn android
Added in 1.0.0
@MainThread
operator fun <T : Any?> get(key: String): T?

Returns a value associated with the given key.

Note: If T is an Array of Parcelable classes, note that you should always use Array<Parcelable> and create a typed array from the result as going through process death and recreation (or using the Don't keep activities developer option) will result in the type information being lost, thus resulting in a ClassCastException if you directly try to assign the result to an Array<CustomParcelable> value.

val typedArray = savedStateHandle.get<Array<Parcelable>>("KEY").map {
  it as CustomParcelable
}.toTypedArray()
Parameters
key: String

a key used to retrieve a value.

getMutableStateFlow

Cmn android
Added in 2.9.0-alpha08
@MainThread
fun <T : Any?> getMutableStateFlow(key: String, initialValue: T): MutableStateFlow<T>

Returns a MutableStateFlow that will emit the currently active value associated with the given key.

val flow = savedStateHandle.getMutableStateFlow(KEY, "defaultValue")

Since this is a MutableStateFlow there will always be a value available which, is why an initial value must be provided. The value of this flow is changed by making a call to set, passing in the key that references this flow or by updating the value of the returned MutableStateFlow

If there is already a value associated with the given key, the initial value will be ignored.

Note 1: If T is an Array of Parcelable classes, note that you should always use Array<Parcelable> and create a typed array from the result as going through process death and recreation (or using the Don't keep activities developer option) will result in the type information being lost, thus resulting in a ClassCastException if you directly try to collect the result as an Array<CustomParcelable>.

val typedArrayFlow = savedStateHandle.getMutableStateFlow<Array<Parcelable>>(
  "KEY"
).map { array ->
  // Convert the Array<Parcelable> to an Array<CustomParcelable>
  array.map { it as CustomParcelable }.toTypedArray()
}

Note 2: On Android, this method is mutually exclusive with getLiveData for the same key. You should use either getMutableStateFlow or getLiveData to access the stored value, but not both. Using both methods with the same key will result in an IllegalStateException.

Parameters
key: String

The identifier for the flow
initialValue: T

If no value exists with the given key, a new one is created with the given initialValue.

getStateFlow

Cmn android
Added in 2.5.0
@MainThread
fun <T : Any?> getStateFlow(key: String, initialValue: T): StateFlow<T>

Returns a StateFlow that will emit the currently active value associated with the given key.

val flow = savedStateHandle.getStateFlow(KEY, "defaultValue")

Since this is a StateFlow there will always be a value available which, is why an initial value must be provided. The value of this flow is changed by making a call to set, passing in the key that references this flow.

If there is already a value associated with the given key, the initial value will be ignored.

Note: If T is an Array of Parcelable classes, note that you should always use Array<Parcelable> and create a typed array from the result as going through process death and recreation (or using the Don't keep activities developer option) will result in the type information being lost, thus resulting in a ClassCastException if you directly try to collect the result as an Array<CustomParcelable>.

val typedArrayFlow = savedStateHandle.getStateFlow<Array<Parcelable>>(
  "KEY"
).map { array ->
  // Convert the Array<Parcelable> to an Array<CustomParcelable>
  array.map { it as CustomParcelable }.toTypedArray()
}
Parameters
key: String

The identifier for the flow
initialValue: T

If no value exists with the given key, a new one is created with the given initialValue.

keys

Cmn android
Added in 1.0.0
@MainThread
fun keys(): Set<String>

Returns all keys contained in this SavedStateHandle

Returned set contains all keys: keys used to get LiveData-s, to set SavedStateProviders and keys used in regular set.

remove

Cmn android
Added in 1.0.0
@MainThread
fun <T : Any?> remove(key: String): T?

Removes a value associated with the given key. If there is a LiveData and/or StateFlow associated with the given key, they will be removed as well.

All changes to androidx.lifecycle.LiveDatas or StateFlows previously returned by SavedStateHandle.getLiveData or getStateFlow won't be reflected in the saved state. Also that LiveData or StateFlow won't receive any updates about new values associated by the given key.

Parameters
key: String

a key
Returns
T?

a value that was previously associated with the given key.

set

Cmn android
Added in 1.0.0
@MainThread
operator fun <T : Any?> set(key: String, value: T?): Unit

Associate the given value with the key. The value must have a type that could be stored in SavedState

This also sets values for any active LiveDatas or StateFlows.

Parameters
key: String

a key used to associate with the given value.
value: T?

object of any type that can be accepted by Bundle.
Throws
kotlin.IllegalArgumentException

value cannot be saved in saved state

setSavedStateProvider

Cmn android
Added in 2.3.0
@MainThread
fun setSavedStateProvider(
    key: String,
    provider: SavedStateRegistry.SavedStateProvider
): Unit

Set a SavedStateProvider that will have its state saved into this SavedStateHandle. This provides a mechanism to lazily provide the SavedState of saved state for the given key.

Calls to get with this same key will return the previously saved state as a SavedState if it exists.

Bundle previousState = savedStateHandle.get("custom_object");
if (previousState != null) {
    // Convert the previousState into your custom object
}
savedStateHandle.setSavedStateProvider("custom_object", () -> {
    Bundle savedState = new Bundle();
    // Put your custom object into the Bundle, doing any conversion required
    return savedState;
});

Note: calling this method within SavedStateProvider.saveState is supported, but will only affect future state saving operations.

Parameters
key: String

a key which will populated with a SavedState produced by the provider
provider: SavedStateRegistry.SavedStateProvider

a SavedStateProvider which will receive a callback to SavedStateProvider.saveState when the state should be saved

@SavedStateHandleSaveableApi
fun <T : Any?> SavedStateHandle.saveable(
    key: String,
    stateSaver: Saver<T, Any>,
    init: () -> MutableState<T>
): MutableState<T>

Inter-opt between SavedStateHandle and Saver so that any state holder that is being saved via rememberSaveable with a custom Saver can also be saved with SavedStateHandle.

The returned MutableState should be the only way that a value is saved or restored from the SavedStateHandle with the given key.

Using the same key again with another SavedStateHandle method is not supported, as values won't cross-set or communicate updates.

Use this overload if you remember a mutable state with a type which can't be stored in the Bundle so you have to provide a custom saver object.
