Programming Android with Kotlin: Achieving Structured Concurrency with Coroutines

Book Description

Android development is so vast that mastering this mobile operating system can seem daunting–particularly now that Kotlin has become the official Android development language. This book helps Android developers make the transition from Java to Kotlin and shows them how Kotlin provides a true advantage for gaining control over asynchronous computations.

By focusing specifically on coroutines, a new asynchronous programming paradigm, this book describes how you can achieve structured concurrency with Kotlin. Authors Pierre-Oliver Laurence, Amanda Hinchman-Dominguez, and Mike Dunn provide implementations of the most common tasks in native Android development.

• The basics of the Kotlin language and the Android architecture
• Data transformations in Kotlin
• Android fundamentals in memory and threading
• Concurrency with coroutines
• Channels and flows
• Android profiling tools

书名：使用Kotlin对Android进行编程：使用协程实现结构化并发

Android的发展是如此巨大，掌握这一移动操作系统似乎令人望而生畏，尤其是现在Kotlin已经成为Android的官方开发语言。这本书帮助Android开发人员从Java过渡到Kotlin，并向他们展示Kotlin如何为获得对异步计算的控制提供真正的优势。

通过专门关注协程，这是一种新的异步编程范例，本书描述了如何使用Kotlin实现结构化并发。作者Pierre-Oliver Laurence、Amanda Hinchman-Domguez和Mike Dunn提供了原生Android开发中最常见任务的实现。
