delay

suspend fun delay(time: Int): Unit (source)

Delays coroutine for a given time without blocking a thread and resumes it after a specified time. This suspending function is cancellable. If the 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 CoroutineDispatcher implements Delay interface, otherwise it resumes using a built-in single-threaded scheduled executor service.

Parameters

time - time in milliseconds.

suspend fun delay(
    time: Long,
    unit: TimeUnit = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS
): Unit (source)
