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. What you will learnUnderstand how coroutines and flows differ from existing waysApply asynchronous programming in Android with coroutines and flowsFind out how to build your own coroutines and flows in AndroidHandle, manipulate, and combine data in coroutines and flowsHandle cancellations and exceptions from coroutines and flowsDiscover how to add tests for your coroutines and flowsIntegrate coroutines and flows into your Android projectsWho this book is forThis book is for intermediate-level Android developers who want to level up their Android app-building skills. Familiarity with Android development and basic knowledge of Kotlin are needed to make the most of this book.
