Understand Kotlin Coroutines on Android
summary
Explains concrete coroutines features now in Jetpack: a LiveData builder that runs coroutine blocks with a configurable context and a short timeout window to avoid wasted work during rapid rotate, lifecycleScope and viewModelScope to cancel coroutines on destroy while keeping long work across config changes using CompletableDeferred, WorkManager/Room/Retrofit support for suspend functions, and a kotlinx-coroutines-test story (testCoroutineDispatcher, runBlockingTest, advanceTimeBy) that makes deterministic unit tests and avoids flakiness.
