I figured that since both LiveData & Flow should be lifecycle aware that there is no reason to do this. Is there any benefit or detriment to setting them to null yourself in onCleared?

This depends on a your use case, you need to share your code to get a precise answer. – Jamal N Aug 17 '23 at 16:07

Since both LiveData and Flow are lifecycle-aware they will automatically clean up their resources in the ViewModel's onCleared() method. So there's no need to explicitly set them to null.

would there ever be a reason to create the livedata in a fragment/activity? When is a flow preferable to LiveData? – user1743524 Aug 19 '23 at 20:49
