i'm paginating list and loading 5 items each time ...

# coroutines

[Kulwinder Singh]

i'm paginating list and loading 5 items each time recyclerview scrolled to last , then using coroutine i'm getting more data for each item from network like below

private fun onItemsLoaded(videosList: List<BaseVideo>) {
        uiScope.launch {
            val videoAndData = getUserDataForEachVideo(videosList)//suspending function
            adapter.addData(videoAndData)
        }
    }

so here everytime whenever new 5 items loaded then new coroutine is created, so here over the time it will increase created coroutines , i know that coroutines are light weight but is there any other way to solve this problem where i can create a single coroutine and then run my code inside that coroutine instead of creating new coroutine everytime

You don't have to worry aout it. They are very light weight.

have you considered using the paging library to handle all that for you?
