Hi guys, I want to use

delay

in my launch function. I always use

xxxL

value for

delay

. Is there any function to convert

seconds

,

minutes

&

hours

. For example / For 30 second

delay(30)

// For 1 minute

delay(1)

// For 2 Hour

delay(2)

It's so much confusing to multiple by value. Thanks

You could possibly use something like this:

delay(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(2))

TimeUnit exposes other enum values, such as:

MINUTES

,

HOURS

,

DAYS

, etc….

Delay supports Duration: https://kotlinlang.org/api/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-core/kotlinx.coroutines/delay.html (See overload which works with Duration, not with long)

I am trying to use like this

delay(Duration(1.minutes))

and imports are

import kotlinx.coroutines.delay
import kotlinx.coroutines.launch
import kotlin.time.Duration
import kotlin.time.Duration.Companion.minutes

but I am getting

Error on the screenshot is from duration constructor, not from delay

ohh nice thanks, It works
