How to initialize or access packageManager out from coroutineContext?

Question

I have a Jetpack Compose project were I can access a coroutineContext object only. No context available here.

How can I access or initialize android.content.pm.PackageManager ?

You can get the context object from ContextAmbient.current, using that you can get the PackageManager

Example:

val context = ContextAmbient.current
val packageManager = context.packageManager

Getting context now is `val context = LocalContext.current` – Tsuharesu Nov 06 '21 at 18:42
