Is it possible to create a `CoroutineContext` from iOS and inject that into a kotlin/native class?

Is it possible to create a CoroutineContext from iOS and inject that into a kotlin/native class?

[gildor]

Yes, context is part of coroutines API

[gildor]

But it really depends what kind implementation do you want tot put to this context, because by default it’s just a container for metdata

[yusuf3000]

I’m not sure what i’m doing wrong, but I can’t seem to instantiate one on the iOS side. I can’t see it in the header file.

[gildor]

How do you instantiating it? Not every context implementation is available on every platform

[yusuf3000]

I have a kotlin class which takes in a CoroutineContext in it’s init:

class Calculation(
    val coroutineContext: CoroutineContext)

and we have a method in the class which also performs the following:

if (runningJob?.isActive != true) {
            runningJob = launch(coroutineContext) {
                update(value)
            }
        }

So i wanted to instantiate this class from the iOS side

[yusuf3000]

And i wanted to create the CoroutineContext from the ios side - is this the right approach?

Have you tried adding Kotlin function creating proper CoroutineContext and then calling it from the iOS side?

[yusuf3000]

Initially we had val coroutineContext: CoroutineContext = newSingleThreadContext("CalculationThread") but it’s not available in kotlin-common

[yusuf3000]

Specifically the newSingleThreadContext

[svyatoslav.scherbina]

newSingleThreadContext is not available, please try other options to create new context.
