Kotlin Coroutines Examples for Android Development: Activity and ViewModel

• Single Network Call: Learn how to make a network call using Kotlin Coroutines. This is a very simple use-case in Android App Development. Blog: Retrofit with Kotlin Coroutines

  • Activity Code
  • ViewModel Code

• Series Network Calls: Learn how to make network calls in series using Kotlin Coroutines. This is useful when you want to make a network call which is dependent on an another network call.

  • Activity Code
  • ViewModel Code

• Parallel Network Calls: Learn how to make network calls in parallel using Kotlin Coroutines. This is useful when you want to make network calls in parallel which are independent of each other.

  • Activity Code
  • ViewModel Code

• Room Database Operation: Learn how to fetch or insert entity in database using Kotlin Coroutines. This is useful when you are using Room Database in your Android Application.

  • Activity Code
  • ViewModel Code

• Long Running Task: Learn how to run a long running task using Kotlin Coroutines. If you want to do any of your task in background thread using the Kotlin Coroutines, then this is useful.

  • Activity Code
  • ViewModel Code

• Two Long Running Tasks: Learn how to run two long running tasks in parallel using Kotlin Coroutines.

  • Activity Code
  • ViewModel Code

• Timeout: Learn how to add timeout to a task using Kotlin Coroutines. If you want to add a timeout to any of your background task in Android, this is going to super useful.

  • Activity Code
  • ViewModel Code

• Try-Catch Error Handling: Learn how to handle error in Kotlin Coroutines using Try-Catch.

  • Activity Code
  • ViewModel Code

• CoroutineExceptionHandler: Learn how to handle error in Kotlin Coroutines using CoroutineExceptionHandler.

  • Activity Code
  • ViewModel Code

• Ignore Error And Continue: Learn how to use supervisorScope to ignore error of a task and continue with other task. In other words, if more than two child jobs are running in parallel under a supervisor, one child job gets failed, we can continue with other.

  • Activity Code
  • ViewModel Code

• Unit Test: Learn how write unit-test for ViewModel which uses Kotlin Coroutines.

  • ViewModelTest Code
