Summary for Coroutines on Android (part I): Getting the background
Update: 2021-02-13
Description
As Sean McQuillan said
"coroutines are a great solution to two problems:
- Long-running tasks are tasks that take too long to block the main thread.
- Main-safety allows you to ensure that any suspend function can be called from the main thread.
- Coroutines build upon regular functions by adding two new operations. In addition to invoking (or call) and return, coroutines add suspend and resume.
- Suspend and resume work together to replace callbacks.
- Coroutines will run on the main thread, and suspend does not mean background"
