What error management methods are applicable in coroutines?

Answer from AI

In Android coroutines (using Kotlin Coroutines), the following methods are used for error handling:

  • try-catch inside a coroutine — the standard way to handle exceptions.
try {
    // coroutine code
} catch (e: Exception) {
    // error handling
}
  • CoroutineExceptionHandler — a special exception handler that can be passed into the coroutine context for global unhandled exception handling.
val handler = CoroutineExceptionHandler { _, exception ->
    println("Caught $exception")
}

GlobalScope.launch(handler) {
    // code
}
  • supervisorScope and SupervisorJob — allow isolating errors in child coroutines so that one error does not cancel all others.

  • Error handling in Flow — using catch {} operators to handle exceptions in data streams.

Thus, the choice of method depends on the context and whether local or global error handling is needed.
