Method Detail

delay

public static java.lang.Object delay(long time,
                                     java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit,
                                     kotlin.coroutines.experimental.Continuation<? super kotlin.Unit> $continuation)

Delays coroutine for a given time without blocking a thread and resumes it after a specified time. This suspending function is cancellable. If the interface Job of the current coroutine is cancelled or completed while this suspending function is waiting, this function immediately resumes with CancellationException.

Note, that delay can be used in select invocation with onTimeout clause.

This function delegates to Delay.scheduleResumeAfterDelay if the context class CoroutineDispatcher implements interface Delay interface, otherwise it resumes using a built-in single-threaded scheduled executor service.
