Description
[Example](https://github.com/android/architecture-samples/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/example/android/architecture/blueprints/todoapp/taskdetail/TaskDetailViewModel.kt)
He we load data model from repository. Usually we have here API IO so it can always fail.
In the example we map the fail into the Error class and later into error Ui State. Understandable.
Now assuming on the Error Ui we have the "Try again button" which will call onRetryClick() callback in the ViewModel.
How we supposed to re-start all that chain or only _taskAsync chain?
```
private val _taskAsync = taskRepository.getTaskStream(taskId)
.map { handleTask(it) }
.catch { emit(Async.Error(R.string.loading_task_error)) }
val uiState: StateFlow = combine(
_userMessage, _isLoading, _isTaskDeleted, _taskAsync
) { userMessage, isLoading, isTaskDeleted, taskAsync ->
when (taskAsync) {
Async.Loading -> {
TaskDetailUiState(isLoading = true)
}
is Async.Error -> {
TaskDetailUiState(
userMessage = taskAsync.errorMessage,
isTaskDeleted = isTaskDeleted
)
}
is Async.Success -> {
TaskDetailUiState(
task = taskAsync.data,
isLoading = isLoading,
userMessage = userMessage,
isTaskDeleted = isTaskDeleted
)
}
}
}
```

Research direction
Start with app/src/main/java/com/example/android/architecture/blueprints/todoapp/taskdetail/TaskDetailViewModel.kt and inspect how getTaskStream(taskId), _taskAsync, and uiState are connected. Determine the intended retry entry point for the Try again button; done means the retry behavior for the shown Error state is clearly documented or demonstrated.
