Android have deprecated setRetainInstance () of a androidx.fragment.app.Fragment

class HomeFragment: Fragment (){
     override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: 
      Bundle?){
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

          retainInstance = true//deprecated
     }
}

How do I retain the fragment state being that this method is deprecated

code language KOTLIN

I've read this thread

Why use Fragment#setRetainInstance(boolean)? it doesn't answer the question.

I've been trying to implement the android documentation recommendation to no avail. what I need is a code snippet of a solution

the answer is not there. I've read that before asking. – Kennedy Sep 30 '21 at 15:30
WHat are you trying to use it for? It was always kind of a hack, there's generally better ways of accomplishing whatever it is you want to do. – Gabe Sechan Sep 30 '21 at 15:38
