Kotlin Coroutines for Android

About

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for implementing modern asynchronous patterns in Android development using Kotlin coroutines and Flow. It covers everything from basic coroutine launching in ViewModels to advanced reactive streams with StateFlow and SharedFlow. By enforcing structured concurrency, lifecycle-aware collection, and proper dispatcher management, it helps developers build highly responsive, memory-efficient applications while avoiding common pitfalls like main-thread blocking or memory leaks.

Key Features

• Provides robust exception handling and exponential backoff retry logic
• Implements structured concurrency using viewModelScope and lifecycleScope
• 72 GitHub stars
• Manages thread dispatching for IO, CPU-intensive, and UI operations
• Configures reactive data streams with Flow, StateFlow, and SharedFlow
• Ensures lifecycle-aware collection to prevent background crashes and leaks

Use Cases

• Implementing real-time UI state management for Jetpack Compose or XML
• Building robust repository layers with database and network flow integration
• Handling complex parallel operations and search debouncing in ViewModels
