kind of android related, but which coroutine scope would you use in background services? e.g. intent services or job services?

As long as it’s not reading files or anything I’d use

Dispatchers.Default

that's the context but how would you launch them?

thanks 🙂

CoroutineWorker

with WorkManager

Agreed with @Adam Powell with above implementation you will have to manage your coroutineScope to cancel. Better use WorkManager where you can return results as well.

Just beware of unique work, for some reason it could get stuck... if you return failed for sure, but even if not, sometimes I have some works that stay blocked and just don't run until all works get purged.
