// Old API using AsyncTask private class MyTask extends AsyncTask { @Override protected ResultType doInBackground(Void... voids) { // Perform background operations here return result; } @Override protected void onPostExecute(ResultType result) { // Update UI with the result } } // New approach using Kotlin Coroutines private fun fetchData() { CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch { val result = performBackgroundOperation() // Suspend function withContext(Dispatchers.Main) { // Update UI with the result } } } private suspend fun performBackgroundOperation(): ResultType { // Perform your background operations here return result }
