Would I have any problem/drawback calling an activity on an companion object like that? Memory Leak or something like that?
``` companion object {
     
        fun start(context: Context) { 
        launch{
            if (context.prefs.fooProperty) //ext fun on shared pref{
                val intent = Intent(context, Foo::class.java)
                context.startActivity(intent)
            }
         }
        }
    }```

Why would you start a activity inside a coroutine? The issue would be ,that you might not have the current context

I was just curious about the downsides, I don’t even like this approach of starting activities. I think is on a coroutine because of the diskwrites of the shared preferences

Yea shared Preference needs to be handled in a separate thread or suspended function. But not with the changing of activity

you can have it ,so that it changes activity, after the function has completed

yes it will leak, i.e. it will hold a context reference until the method and the lambda is finished, so if its async, and that context is activity, it might go through destroying

and that lambda will hold onto that reference until finished
