Kotlin Coroutine Jobs (Beginner Example)

High quality Android programming courses: https://codingwithmitch.com/

In this video I take you through a beginner level kotlin coroutines example. Specifically, this example is about kotlin coroutine jobs.

In the past, handling things like: Network timeouts, cancellations, multiple asychronous operations at once, were all very difficult.
AsyncTask it was a nightmare
Executors was an improvement but still not great
RxJava is pretty good
BUT coroutines are by far the BEST

Coroutines have an object called "Completable Job".

Why you should care about a completable job:
Can be used to launch coroutines in their own independent context.
Job that can be completed manually by you (you have more control)
Ability to very easily cancel jobs and create new ones
Take action when a job is cancelled
Example: throw exception, display toast, display error dialog
