launchDefault
fun CoroutineScope.launchDefault(context: CoroutineContext = EmptyCoroutineContext, start: CoroutineStart = CoroutineStart.DEFAULT, block: suspend CoroutineScope.() -> Unit): Job
Content copied to clipboard
Launches a new coroutine without blocking the current thread and returns a reference to the coroutine as a Job. The coroutine is cancelled when the resulting job is cancelled.
Uses the defaultdispatcher.
The specific dispatcherProvider instance to be used is determined after the context parameter has been folded into the receiver's context.
The selected DispatcherProvider is essentially the first non-null result from:
the context parameter
the receiver CoroutineScope's coroutineContext
DefaultDispatcherProvider.get Extracts the DispatcherProvider from the CoroutineScope receiver
