To convert callbacks to Kotlin Flows, you use callbackFlow, which bridges callback-based APIs into cold flows. This Skill explains this mechanism alongside other flow types like StateFlow and SharedFlow for reactive chains.

StateFlow and SharedFlow are hot flows used for state holding and event broadcasting in KMP. This guide covers their implementation, alongside shareIn and stateIn operators, to establish robust reactive programming patterns.

Handling backpressure in Kotlin Flows involves applying specific operators to manage data emission rates. This Skill details backpressure management techniques, alongside flowOn and lifecycle-aware collection, for Android applications.

You need prior knowledge of Kotlin and Android development to use Kotlin Flows effectively. This Skill is designed for developers already working within Android or KMP environments looking to improve reactive programming skills.

Lifecycle-aware collection for Kotlin Flows ensures data only emits when the Android lifecycle is active. This Skill provides guidance on implementing these patterns, including offline-first designs and backpressure handling.
