Kotlin Coroutines: Scope, Context, and Dispatchers
May 19, 2023
Scope
- Coroutines are launched within a coroutine scope, which sets the execution boundary.
- The coroutine scope acts as a platform, providing the necessary context for launching and managing coroutines.
Context
- The coroutine context contains crucial information, such as the coroutine’s name, designated thread, lifecycle, and error handling.
Dispatchers
- The coroutine dispatcher determines the thread(s) on which the coroutine executes.
- Coroutine dispatchers in coroutines are analogous to RxJava schedulers, facilitating efficient thread management during coroutine execution.
Happy learning 😊
