Unresolved reference async in Kotlin

Question

I am trying to perform network operation async in Kotlin. I read it you can do async using async function. I am getting below error, can anyone gue

Answer 1

async is available inside kotlinx.couroutines

Make sure that you added the dependency in your gradle file:

implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:1.1.1'

Also make sure that the async is called on a coroutine scrope such as GlobalScope.

 val deferredResult = GlobalScope.async {

            }
