12/20/2018, 2:13 PMOh... I'm trying to adapt a library's callbacks to coroutines, and I need to pass it a handler in
suspendCoroutine { }g

12/20/2018, 3:54 PMJust create a handler or pass it to await function, why do you need Handler from coroutineContext? Because coroutineContext may have no any dispatcher or no HandlerDispatcher
