MutableLiveData: Cannot invoke setValue on a background thread from Coroutine

Question

I\'m trying to trigger an update on LiveData from a coroutine:

object AddressList: MutableLiveData>()
fun getAddressesLiveData(): L         


        

Answer 1

You can do one of the following :

object AddressList: MutableLiveData>()
fun getAddressesLiveData(): LiveData> {
    AddressList.value = listOf()
    GlobalScope.launch {
        AddressList.postValue(getAddressList())
    }

return AddressList
}

or

fun getAddressesLiveData(): LiveData> {
    AddressList.value = listOf()
    GlobalScope.launch {
        val adresses = getAddressList()
        withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
            AddressList.value = adresses
        }
    }
    return AddressList
}
