Asynchronous means âyou can request something, do something else, and then get notified later when the result is readyâ
Because you can do something else while waiting for the results, it looks like you're doing multiple things at once, but that's not always really the case.
Multi-threaded really means doing multiple things at once.
It's possible to be asynchronous with or without being multi-threaded. For example:
⢠Kotlin/JS is always single-threaded.
⢠KotlinX.Coroutines' MainScope is single-threaded and asynchronous.
⢠KotlinX.Coroutines' Dispatchers.IO is multi-threaded and asynchronous.
⢠if you're using another library, you'll need to find in the docs which combination they use
