Everything about Customizing coroutine contexts in kotlin | by Sandeep Kella | May, 2024
Customizing coroutine contexts in Kotlin is an advanced feature that allows you to control the execution environment of coroutines. This is crucial for optimizing performance, managing resources, and ensuring that coroutines run in the appropriate thread or dispatcher. Let’s dive into the details: A coroutine…
Everything you want to know about Functional interfaces in Kotlin | by Sandeep Kella | May, 2024
Functional interfaces in Kotlin are a key feature that enhances its functional programming capabilities and ensures smooth interoperability with Java. Here’s a comprehensive overview of functional interfaces in Kotlin: Single Abstract Method (SAM): A functional interface must have exactly one abstract method. This method represents…
Finally Ternary Operator in kotlin 2.0 | by Sandeep Kella | May, 2024
Finally Ternary Operator in kotlin 2.0 In Kotlin, the Elvis operator (?:) combined with smart casts can indeed be used to create a construct similar to the ternary operator in Java (condition ? trueExpression : falseExpression). While Kotlin doesn’t have a built-in ternary operator, the…
Composition Over Inheritance In Kotlin Explained
Inheritance is bad… Everyone knows it, but why? 1. What is inheritance? It’s a way for classes to ‘inherit’ all properties from another class. We usually say that the class we inherit is called a superclass, and the class that inherits properties is called a…

Kotlin Flow, StateFlow and SharedFlow Android | by amod kanthe | May, 2024
Kotlin flow provides an efficient way to handle asynchronous data in the form of streams. A Flow basically emits data asynchronously in the form streams these data streams then are consumed by A consumer. A flow is a coroutine-based asynchronous stream that can emit multiple…

Learning how to create a simple version of Retrofit from scratch DALL·E — A robot wearing a wig, a mustache, and a lab coat; realistic Mocks or Fakes? Which one do you choose? I’m kidding, I am not going to enter such a long tedious,…
Kotlin Design Patterns: Template Method Explained
Behavioral Design Pattern Overriding only a specific algorithm step without changing its general structure. You have a general algorithm structure in the superclass, but make one of the abstract steps so that the subclasses must implement it. It’s used to either create variants of the…
Kotlin Design Patterns: Strategy Explained
Behavioral Design Pattern Selection of algorithm in runtime. Instead of implementing algorithms directly in place of use, create a separate class for each algorithm and treat them like a family. Depending on the conditions, you’ll want to swap the algorithm you used. What do we…
