Can we create flow in different dispatcher and collect flow in the different dispatcher, I was playing around while learning flow and wrote a code, Can someone explain

[Vivek Sharma]

output

[Vivek Sharma]

Oh, I think I am doing this the whole time, like changing context through flowOn(dispatcher) , and receiving in runBlocking{} scope which is in main dispatcher 😅, correct me if wrong

[gildor]

Yes, it's correct

[gildor]

Though you run blocking explicitly running on Default dispatcher (btw you can pass dispatcher directly to run blocking without with context)

[Vivek Sharma]

okay thanks

[gildor]

also keep in mind that context and thread is not the same, it can be different context, different dispatcher, but the same thread

[gildor]

IO and Default dispatchers share pool of threads

[Vivek Sharma]

oh, yes, a thread is a big thing and then we can have different contexts and dispatchers to dispatch coroutine to another thread, am I understanding this right?

[gildor]

we can have different contexts and dispatchers to dispatch coroutine to another thread

Not sure what you mean

My point that the same context or even the same dispatcher doesn’t mean that the same thread will be used, and opposite also true, different context and dispatchers doesn’t necessary mean that different thread will be used

[Vivek Sharma]

okay I am getting it
