Simplifying Android Development with Coroutines and Flows

By: Jomar Tigcal

Overview of this book

Coroutines and flows are the new recommended way for developers to carry out asynchronous programming in Android using simple, modern, and testable code. This book will teach you how coroutines and flows work and how to use them in building Android applications, along with helping you to develop modern Android applications with asynchronous programming using real data. The book begins by showing you how to create and handle Kotlin coroutines on Android. You’ll explore asynchronous programming in Kotlin, and understand how to test Kotlin coroutines. Next, you'll learn about Kotlin flows on Android, and have a closer look at using Kotlin flows by getting to grips with handling flow cancellations and exceptions and testing the flows. By the end of this book, you'll have the skills you need to build high-quality and maintainable Android applications using coroutines and flows.

Preface

Kotlin coroutines and flows allow developers to do asynchronous programming in Android using simple, modern, and testable code.

This book focuses on coroutines and flows using hands-on learning. You will begin with the basics of asynchronous programming, including an overview of coroutines and flows while also integrating them into your Android projects. You’ll understand how to manage cancelations and exceptions, and then explore how to test your coroutines and flows.

By the end of this book, you will be able to use Kotlin coroutines and flows to simplify asynchronous programming in Android.
