What is use case of coroutines flow ? What does it provide ?

[zak.taccardi]

Flow<T> should be used when a class exposes multiple values of T

[zak.taccardi]

so any use case where you would register a listener for multiple emissions, Flow<T> should be used

[zak.taccardi]

if it’s a single asynchronous value, then suspend () -> T is the proper type

[Rohan Maity]

Any example for multiple emissions ? In respect to Android would be much better 😅

[gildor]

On Android it may be every callback-based API, you can convert onClickListener events to flow and any other View event, BroadcastReceiver.onReceive and many other

[gildor]

The same as RxJava and similar to LiveData

[streetsofboston]

A Flow is reactive and it will, when active, emit objects/data over time. Like Andrey said, Flow is similar to a cold observable in Rx (Java).

Cool I get it now .

I would try to convert onClicklisteners to flow
