Suspend function 'callGetApi' should be called only from a coroutine or another suspend function

Question

I am calling suspended function from onCreate(...)

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    ...
    ...
    callGetApi()
}

Answer 1

The above answer worked , but i solved it without inheriting CoroutineScope class by just using .... gradle.build

  dependencies {
      implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.3.3'
  }

Activity.kt

  import kotlinx.coroutines.GlobalScope
  import kotlinx.coroutines.Dispatchers

  GlobalScope.launch (Dispatchers.Main) { callGetApi() }

Dispatchers.Main is important cause you cannot update the UI in any other thread than main.

But its recommended to inherit CoroutineScope to maintain the lifecycle of the activity and onDestroy of the activity to kill the job
