Coroutines: Scope, Context, and Dispatchers

Coroutines: Scope, Context, and Dispatchers

·

1 min read

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 😊
