MutableLiveData: Cannot invoke setValue on a background thread from Coroutine

Question

I\'m trying to trigger an update on LiveData from a coroutine:

object AddressList: MutableLiveData>()
fun getAddressesLiveData(): L         


        

Answer 1

I just figured out that it's possible by using withContext(Dispatchers.Main){}:

object AddressList: MutableLiveData>()
fun getAddressesLiveData(): LiveData> {
    GlobalScope.launch {
        withContext(Dispatchers.Main){ AddressList.value = getAddressList() }
    }
    return AddressList
}
