Hello, how i can create Kotlin job and start it later?

[Marko Mitic]

Explain the employer that you need time to leave you current job 😄

[gildor]

You can create lazy job using start param in launch/async

[gildor]

To start use start() function or join()/await()

[Alexjok]

@gildor something like:

fun startUpdate(): Lazy<Job> {
    return lazy {
        GlobalScope.launch {
            hierachyUpdater.doUpdate()
        }
    }
}

[Alexjok]

?

[gildor]

No

[gildor]

As I said, there is start param in launch/async functions

[gildor]

Check docs of launch/async

[Alexjok]

@gildor thx 🙂

[Alexjok]

fun startUpdate() = GlobalScope.launch(start = CoroutineStart.LAZY) {
    hierachyUpdater.doUpdate()
}

[gildor]

Yes, this is what I meant. But I wouldn't use GlobalScope
