Android Concurrency Standards
Priority: P0
Implementation Guidelines
Structured Concurrency
- •Scopes: Always use
viewModelScope(VM) orlifecycleScope(Activity/Fragment). - •Dispatchers: INJECT Dispatchers (
DispatcherProvider) for testability. Do not hardcodeDispatchers.IO.
Flow usage
- •Cold Streams: Use
Flowfor data streams. - •Hot Streams: Use
StateFlow(State) orSharedFlow(Events). - •Collection: Use
collectAsStateWithLifecycle()(Compose) orrepeatOnLifecycle(Views).
Anti-Patterns
- •GlobalScope:
**No GlobalScope**: Use structured scopes. - •Async/Await:
**Avoid Async**: Prefer simple suspend functions unless parallel execution is needed.
