64.2 Adding Coroutine Support to the Project

The current version of Android Studio does not automatically include support for coroutines in newly created projects. Before proceeding, therefore, edit the Gradle Scripts -> build.gradle (Module: CoroutineDemo.app) file and add the following lines to the dependencies section (noting, as always, that newer versions of the libraries may be available):

dependencies {

.

.

    implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.4.1'

    implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:1.4.1'

.

.

}

After making the change, click on the Sync Now link at the top of the editor panel to commit the changes.
