Kotlin Coroutines the right way in Android

Question

I\'m trying to update a list inside the adapter using async, I can see there is too much boilerplate.

Is it the right way to use Kotlin Coroutines?

Answer 1

If you want to return some thing from background thread use async

launch(UI) {
   val result = async(CommonPool) {
      //do long running operation   
   }.await()
   //do stuff on UI thread
   view.setText(result)
}

If background thread is not returning anything

launch(UI) {
   launch(CommonPool) {
      //do long running operation   
   }.await()
   //do stuff on UI thread
}
