Hello, I am trying to create a multiplatform image loading library, I use

ktor

for remote loading and

okio

for local loading(files). I want to have an interface for fetcher that returns a flow of

Loading(progress)

,

Success(something)

,

Error(throwable)

I am not sure what

something

should be to support both fetchers.

You can create a channel from a

java.io.File

:

File("/path").readChannel()

or use a writer to write data to a channel:

val readChannel = GlobalScope.writer {
    // channel.writeFully()
    // channel.writeStringUtf8()
}.channel

It works for jvm, but not for other platforms, I tried making a new method based on that and change it to support

ByteReadChannel

but no luck

With a writer you can write data from any source.

I will try, thanks
