BroadcastChannel

Deprecated

BroadcastChannel is deprecated in the favour of SharedFlow and StateFlow, and is no longer supported

Creates a broadcast channel with the specified buffer capacity.

The resulting channel type depends on the specified capacity parameter:

  • when capacity positive, but less than UNLIMITED -- creates ArrayBroadcastChannel with a buffer of given capacity. Note: this channel looses all items that have been sent to it until the first subscriber appears;

  • when capacity is CONFLATED -- creates ConflatedBroadcastChannel that conflates back-to-back sends;

  • when capacity is BUFFERED -- creates ArrayBroadcastChannel with a default capacity.

  • otherwise -- throws IllegalArgumentException.

Note: This API is obsolete since 1.5.0 and deprecated for removal since 1.7.0 It is replaced with SharedFlow and StateFlow.
