Question

by the time that this code reaches the oncomplete listener requests to an API which use the `carsService` object have already went out

oday · Answer

ok this thread

oday · Answer

and when I do this without having a completeListener I get back fgrom each of those requessts that Task is not yet complete referring to the task of getting the token ID

oday · Answer

sorry mac keyboard

So the idea is that you write a `suspend` extension function on whatever you need to wait for using a callback In this case that would be whatever `getIdToken` returns

oday · Answer

alright and what does that suspend

diesieben07 · Answer

gt sorry mac keyboard My sincerest condolences

oday · Answer

my whole program

oday · Answer

i just wanna buy a second

diesieben07 · Answer

No the current coroutine I see that in your code you are doing this inside an `init` block that cannot work

oday · Answer

yes

diesieben07 · Answer

You can t suspend in an init block or a constructor

oday · Answer

aha

oday · Answer

this init block initializes the object on which other dependent api requests depend on

oday · Answer

hope that s clear

oday · Answer

cause this whole object is provided through DI

diesieben07 · Answer

Yes I know what an init block does stuck out tongue

diesieben07 · Answer

But may I suggest using a factory method instead and doing the API requests there

diesieben07 · Answer

Generally constructors should be state less I don t think that s the right word

oday · Answer

well the place where those requests come out is inside an Activity pure UI

diesieben07 · Answer

Don t tell me you are doing requests on the UI thread

oday · Answer

no i just call the presenter the presenter calls the repository implementation class which is provided by dagger to that activity which then passes it to the presenter

oday · Answer

so inside the repository implementation the service is initialized with the HTTP client where the firebase token is grabbed and added to the header

oday · Answer

that service and all its calls go out in observables

diesieben07 · Answer

Okay Can we clarify what your primary problem is now

oday · Answer

that the requests when they go out the repository initialization code is not yet done with getting that token

oday · Answer

so they fire before

oday · Answer

actually you see in the paste i sent

diesieben07 · Answer

Okay so you want your `init ` to block until that listener is done

oday · Answer

hmmm

oday · Answer

let me fix that paste

oday · Answer

one second

oday · Answer

ok I solved it

oday · Answer

I simply should not be making this call at each time the headers are being prepared for an API request

oday · Answer

simply

oday · Answer

I just refresh this token at a point where I can and then in the oncomplete listener i save that token for the rest of the usage throughout the program

diesieben07 · Answer

Well I m glad you solved it smile

oday · Answer

i dont ask for it at every single request

oday · Answer

crises averted

oday · Answer

thanks man
