I’m having some issues with state and navigation in Compose.

I have a screen A with a searchbar. When a result of the search is clicked it navigates to a detail screen and when I navigate back, screen A is back to its initial state (no results, no search bar input, etc). Is there a way to maintain state of screen A when navigating back from detail screen?

I have tried with saveState and restoreState with no luck. I don’t know if this is a navigation configuration, or something else…

This is my NavHost:

SharedTransitionLayout {
        NavHost(
            modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize().padding(padding).background(MaterialTheme.colorScheme.background),
            navController = navController,
            startDestination = CardSearchRoute
        ) {

            composable<CardSearchRoute> {
                val viewModel = koinViewModel<CardSearchViewModel>()
                val state by viewModel.state.collectAsStateWithLifecycle()
                CardSearchScreen(
                    state = state,
                    onEvent = viewModel::onEvent,
                    animatedVisibilityScope = this,
                    onCardClicked = {
                        navController.navigate(CardDetailRoute(cardID = it.id))
                    }
                )

            }

            composable<CardDetailRoute> { backStackEntry ->
                val cardID = backStackEntry.toRoute<CardDetailRoute>().cardID
                val viewmodel = koinViewModel<CardDetailViewModel>(parameters = { parametersOf(cardID) })
                val state by viewmodel.state.collectAsStateWithLifecycle()
                CardDetailScreen(
                    state = state, animatedVisibilityScope = this,
                    onEvent = {}
                )
            }

            composable<ComingSoonRoute> {
                todoScreen("Collection")
            }

            composable<ScanRoute> {
                todoScreen("Scanning")
            }
        }
    }
