Coroutines by Example

on YouTube ↗38m

" summary

Converts an Android app from RxJava streams to Kotlin coroutines by replacing Retrofit adapters with a Retrofit Deferred adapter, changing Singles/Completables to suspending functions, and using coroutine builders (launch/async) plus dispatchers (IO/Main/DB/computation). Replaces disposables with a parent composite Job and adapts a Room Flowable to a receive channel via openSubscription to ReceiveChannel, then compiles and runs the app successfully with network, DB caching, UI binding and diff calculation moved off the main thread.
