How do StateFlow and SharedFlow react to changes in configuration settings in the application?

Answer from AI

StateFlow and SharedFlow in Android are data streams from the Kotlin Coroutines library that do not have built-in logic for automatically responding to changes in the application's configuration settings (such as theme or language changes). To update data in these streams when settings change, you need to manually emit new values into the StateFlow or SharedFlow from the relevant part of the code (for example, from a ViewModel). Thus, reacting to configuration changes is implemented through updating the values in the streams, rather than automatically.
