So far you’ve been getting to know the Jetpack Compose framework, and it’s been going great! :]

private val _genresState = MutableLiveData(emptyList<Genre>())

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
  setContent { AddBookContent() }

  loadGenres()
}

private fun loadGenres() {
  lifecycleScope.launch {
    _genresState.value = repository.getGenres()
  }
}

val genres = _genresState.value ?: emptyList()
val isGenresPickerOpen = remember { mutableStateOf(false) }

val bookNameState = remember { mutableStateOf("") }
val bookDescriptionState = remember { mutableStateOf("") }
val selectedGenreName =
  genres.firstOrNull { it.id == _addBookState.value?.genreId }?.name ?: "None"

OutlinedTextField(
