Better asynchronous programming with Kotlin Coroutines

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Kotlin Coroutines are shown as a practical replacement for callback hell by building a tiny DSL: an extension on LifecycleOwner that returns a Deferred from an async loader and an infix UI extension that calls await on the main thread; automatic cancellation happens via a LifecycleObserver that cancels the job on onStop. The demo uses launch/async, suspend functions, actors to throttle clicks, mentions a Retrofit deferred adapter, and notes coroutines are experimental and require Gradle flags; code is on GitHub and runs.
