Create a Repeating Task Using Coroutine

Example of how to create repeating Task using Kotlin Coroutine

add Coroutine in Build.gradle

implementation ‘org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.4.2’

To create a repeating Job

/**
 * start Job
 * val job = startRepeatingJob()
 * cancels the job and waits for its completion
 * job.cancelAndJoin()
 * Params
 * timeInterval: time milliSeconds between next Tick
 */
private fun startRepeatingJob(timeInterval: Long): Job {
    return CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default).launch {
        while (NonCancellable.isActive) {
            
            //repeate Task Here
            delay(timeInterval)
        }
    }
}

To start Job:

Job repeatJob = startRepeatingJob(1000L)

To Stop Job:

secondTickJob.cancel()

Same approach using Handlers

repeateTaskkHandler = Handler()
taskRunnable= Runnable {
   //repeate Task Here
repeateTaskkHandler?.postAtTime(taskRunnable, interval)
}
taskRunnable.run()

Stop:

if (secondClockHandler != null) {
    repeateTaskkHandler?.removeCallbacks(taskRunnable)
}
