How to implement Dispatchers.Main and bind the main thread into it?

unfortunately I don't think you can bind to Dispatchers.Main because it's internal, but this is close

Ohh nice. Thanks for the help 😊

@octylFractal Btw what are immediate dispatchers, never heard of em.

[octylFractal]

it's part of the Dispatcher.Main setup, allowing you to dispatch on the same thread if you're already on the main thread. essentially this pseudocode: if (mainThread) runnable() else dispatch(runnable)

[Animesh Sahu]

ohh

[octylFractal]

that's the effect if you do scope.launch(mainDispatcher.immediate) { ... }

[Animesh Sahu]

what if when launching without immediate when currently on main?

[octylFractal]

it acts just like a normal dispatcher then

How about this approach? This uses the backing event-loop to do the same, https://stackoverflow.com/a/54195483/11377112

[octylFractal]

it's okay, you can't get the same immediate benefit though

[Animesh Sahu]

ohh, now i understood. It'd be better to use something like your implementation. Thanks again for your time 😉😊😁
