Hi, how should I "await" for a standard Java Future inside a suspending function?

Using .await() assuming your future is in fact a CompletableFuture.

I'm using ApiFuture from Google API, which is a standard java.util.concurrent.Future with a addListener method. There is some utility in coroutines to use this addListener and avoid "callback hell"?

If it implements Guava ListenableFuture then you can use ready implementation of .await() from kotlinx-coroutines-guava module, if not, then you can copy-and-paste await extension from its source here https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/blob/master/integration/kotlinx-coroutines-guava/src/ListenableFuture.kt
