What is the correct strategy to restoring a fragment commited inside a compose AndroidView? I would expect that something like the example below to be enough to handle the fragment state restoration in an orientation change, but when rotating the screen the fragment is no longer drawn.

                   val containerId = rememberSaveable {
                        ViewCompat.generateViewId()
                    }
                    val fragmentTag = rememberSaveable {
                        "FragmentTag$containerId"
                    }
                    AndroidView(factory = { context ->
                        FragmentContainerView(context).apply {
                            id = containerId
                        }
                    }, update = { containerView ->
                        if (containerView.getFragment<Fragment?>() == null) {
                            supportFragmentManager.commit {
                                replace(containerId, SomeFragment(), fragmentTag)
                            }
                        }
                    })

StackOverflow proposes a solution using reflection, but as that is not a public API I would like to avoid using it and instead having a proper support from androidx team.

It would be nice to have a composable version of FragmentContainerView that could handle Fragment state restoration properly.
