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

I see async function is available in anko library not Kotlin library itself. https://github.com/Kotlin/anko

I resolved by adding this dependency in build.gradle compile "org.jetbrains.anko:anko-commons:0.10.1" as this is not available in Kotlin itself.

I see that async is deprecated now, library suggests to use doAsync instead.

doAsync {
    val forecastWeather = ForecastRequest("302015").execute()
    uiThread {
        Log.d("Test", forecastWeather.toString())
    }
}
