A naive question about Kotlin Android

1

Just started learning Kotlin a moment ago, and I really need some help!

In the main(first) window, I want it to show a number, and this number should increase one per second automatically, and when I jump to another window, this number should still keep increasing. I have no idea how to implement this and stuck this question about two days, though just wanted to practice textview at first

thanks anyway

This probably won’t make sense until you research the subject more, but I’d suggest creating a coroutine in a ViewModel that updates a StateFlow every second.

viewModelScope.launch {
    var i = 0
    while (isActive) {
        stateFlow.value = i
        i++
        delay(1000)
    }
}
