Simple way to have a closure execute 250.milliseconds in the future? Looking for the Kotroid equivalent of the Swiftios

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + .milliseconds(250)) {
Foo().makeABar()
}

[Marko Mitic]

launch{
 delay(250)
 action()
}

btw, what is Kotroid?

This appears to be kolinx.coroutines thing? can/should I use that in an android environment?

Yes, because structured concurrency makes it much easier to get cancellation right when your lifecycle scope is no longer valid
