withMain
suspend fun <T> withMain(context: CoroutineContext = EmptyCoroutineContext, block: suspend CoroutineScope.() -> T): T
Content copied to clipboard
Calls the specified suspending block with a given coroutine context, suspends until it completes, and returns the result.
Uses the maindispatcher.
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
