on YouTube ↗38m

" summary

Covers Android’s move to Kotlin coroutines as the recommended async model, shows WorkManager vs Guava/RxJava vs a CoroutineWorker example, explains Room’s suspend APIs and why libraries must inject dispatchers for testability, demonstrates converting callbacks with callbackFlow adapters, details lifecycle-ktx suspending APIs where launchWhenStarted suspends not cancels, previews StateFlow vs LiveData tradeoffs, and describes SharedFlow’s sharing operator and started options (SharedFlow not released yet).
