# coroutines

I have converted callback to suspend function using suspendCoroutine
This suspend function works with viewModelScope, CoroutineScope implemented by the class but it does not work with runBlocking

Whenever I call this suspend function runBlocking on main thread callback never returns
But with other scopes it does

Has someone faced this situation where suspend callback never returns value

suspend fun suspendCallbackFun() : Boolean {
    return suspendCoroutine { 
        actualCallbackFunction { error ->
            if (error != null) {
                // Does not come here with runBlocking {}
                it.resume(false)
            }else {
                // Does not come here with runBlocking {}
                it.resume(true)
            }
        }
    }
}

I am using runBlocking because this functions result need to be used in Java file

[Dmitry Khalanskiy [JB]]

runBlocking blocks the thread it runs on until the block in it completes. So, the main thread can't do anything while this callback is awaited. Maybe this callback needs something to happen on the main thread, leading to a deadlock.

Ok. the callback functions does mention something about handling on UI thread
Now it makes sense
