None
Alternatives @ArturoMejia481 Threads Callbacks RX (Reactive extensions) Futures Promises
Threads @ArturoMejia481 Expensive, not easy to use. IOS deprecate threads.
DispatchQueue
Callbacks @ArturoMejia481 Don't call me, I'll call you!
Callbacks @ArturoMejia481 Callback Hell
Callbacks @ArturoMejia481 Callback Hell a.k.a Tilted Christmas Tree.
Callbacks @ArturoMejia481 Difficult error handling.
Promises and Futures @ArturoMejia481
Reactive Extensions @ArturoMejia481 You have to change the way that
you approach a problem. Operators RX Schedulers Streams
@ArturoMejia481 Reactive Extensions
@ArturoMejia481 Kotlin Coroutines Do async work the same way, exceptions,
loops, etc…
@ArturoMejia481 Kotlin Coroutines Clear differences between suspend functions
@ArturoMejia481 Kotlin Coroutines Same function signature
Coroutines = Lightweight @ArturoMejia481 Threads Coroutines
@ArturoMejia481 Kotlin Coroutines
Goal @ArturoMejia481 Suspend Dispatchers Coroutine Builders Launch Async/await
Suspend @ArturoMejia481 A key word to indicate the compiler that
a function can be suspended.
Suspend @ArturoMejia481 A suspend function should be called from a
coroutine or another suspend function.
Suspend @ArturoMejia481 The Kotlin compiler transforms the function to a
callback model and uses state machines to know when a function should be suspended or resume.
@ArturoMejia481 Coroutine ≈ Threads
Let’s get our hands dirty! @ArturoMejia481
Launch @ArturoMejia481 Launch is when we want to fire and
forget.
Async @ArturoMejia481 Async is when we want to run something,
then await the result.
Dispatchers @ArturoMejia481 DEFAULT (Computational) Uses the # cores of the
CPU, not good for computations like I/O, network, disk, etc. IO designed for doing blocking I/O operations, max #64 thread, share the pool with DEFAULT. MAIN designed to operate UI objects. Indicate in which thread pool a coroutine should run
Interoperate @ArturoMejia481 kotlinx-coroutines-rx2: Utilities for Rx. kotlinx-coroutines-jdk8: Integration with JDK8
CompletableFuture (Android API level 24). kotlinx-coroutines-android: Designed to operate UI objects.
