Hello, is there a something like withTimeout(time) { operation }
but without canceling the operation?
What I want to achieve: If an operation takes longer than N millis I want to have a callback about this and I want the operation to continue working. Something like:

withTime(
    time = 500L, 
    block = { operation }, 
    onTimeOver = {  }
)

not coroutines related but you can use a timer https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.concurrent/java.util.-timer/

What about wrapping the withTimeout in a try catch block? Catch the CancellationException (and call your callback from there).

@streetsofboston tried this already. But the operation(network call) inside withTimeout is getting cancelled when timeout passes and I lose my results

sounds like you want multiple emits, ie. Flow

merge(yourAction, timer(x))

what about launch { delay(500); callTimer()}

[rmyhal]

Tried something like this:

launch {
    val job = launch {
        // doing some long operation
    }.apply {  start() }
    delay(N)
    if (!job.isCompleted) {
        // operation took longer than N millis. 
    }
}

And looks like it’s what I wanted. Thanks
