@prayutsu This can be a tricky task but considering that you have finished almost 3 PRs, I am assigning this to you. If you get stuck feel free to mention and we will deassign you.

Thank you so much for assigning me the issue and yes, I will surely need your help @rt4914

[prayutsu]

@rt4914 If we could wrap the options selected in a LiveData object. Then the checkboxes will survive configuration change. I explored the directories and packages. But I need a little help in identifying the correct files (like SelectionInteractionViewModel, SelectionInteractionContentViewModel, QuestionPlayerViewModel, etc) where I should try making changes. It would be a pleasure if you could do some help

@prayutsu things won't work with live data because they cannot retain values on configuration change.

[aggarwalpulkit596]

And you have to make changed ItemSelectionInteractionView

Thank you @aggarwalpulkit596 for your help.

@aggarwalpulkit596
I searched the file "ItemSelectionInteractionView" and found only this most closely matched file -

src/main/java/org/oppia/app/player/state/itemviewmodel/SelectionInteractionViewModel.kt

Is this what you are referring to?

[aggarwalpulkit596]

Yes that's correct

[prayutsu]

Yes that's correct

Thank you for that @aggarwalpulkit596
I want an extra help.
I am trying to install ktlint and bufbuild on my ubuntu system and for ktlint my terminal says -

**error: The publisher of snap "ktlint" has indicated that they do not consider
       this revision to be of production quality and that it is only meant for
       development or testing at this point. As a consequence this snap will
       not refresh automatically and may perform arbitrary system changes
       outside of the security sandbox snaps are generally confined to, which
       may put your system at risk.
       If you understand and want to proceed repeat the command including
       --devmode; if instead you want to install the snap forcing it into
       strict confinement repeat the command including --jailmode.**

I also tried another command which is there on their official website -
curl -sSLO https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint/releases/download/0.38.1/ktlint && chmod a+x ktlint

But nothing happens, there's not any logs in the terminal and the command isn't executed completely.

As per the wiki mentioned, we are currently using 0.37.0 version of the ktlint. Please check with this version and let me know if the same issue occurs.

@aggarwalpulkit596 I am trying to solve this issue by using savedStateHandle in SelectionInterActionViewModel
We can save the currently selected options in a key-value pair. And after configuration changes, when the ViewModel is created again, in the init block we can check if the state is not null, we use the stored values in selectedItems. This should work, right?

[prayutsu]

@anandwana001 Even after trying version 0.37.0, still the same thing is happening.

[anandwana001]

@anandwana001 Even after trying version 0.37.0, still the same thing is happening.

Just to confirm before I look into what's the issue, apart from ktlint does curl commands working on your machine?
Also, have you tried with brew - brew install ktlint

ok let me see, The common issue always is this command sets up the file which requires stable and strong internet connection.

@anandwana001 Please take a look on this
