Profile Screen

This page explains how the profile screen works in the app. It covers the profile picture, username editing, and the inventory of collected cats.

Main files​

  • ProfileScreen.kt: screen wiring: state, effects and layout (portrait/landscape).
  • ProfileHeader.kt: header, username editing and status badge.
  • EditableProfileAvatar.kt: avatar, change/remove actions and image preview.
  • ProfileActions.kt: Settings / Friends action buttons.
  • Inventory.kt: inventory grid and cat card.
  • UserViewModel.kt: exposes user flow and methods to update username/profile image.
  • ProfileService.kt: persists profile updates (copies local URIs into app cache and updates Room).
  • AppNavHost.kt: registers the profile route.

How it works​

  • ProfileScreen observes UserViewModel.user and keeps local UI state (editing, selected image URI, etc.).
  • Avatar tap launches the Android photo picker; picked URI is forwarded to UserViewModel.updateProfileImage(...), which delegates to ProfileService to persist the image reference.
  • Username edits are saved via UserViewModel.updateUsername(...) → ProfileService.updateProfile(...) which updates Room.
  • Inventory shows collected cat IDs; each ID is resolved with CatList.getCatById(...) before rendering.

Notes​

  • The screen uses a different layout in portrait and landscape mode.
  • Collected cat IDs are resolved through CatList.getCatById(...) before they are shown.
  • Profile images are local-only for now; they are not uploaded to Supabase.
