delay
Delays coroutine for at least the given time without blocking a thread and resumes it after a specified time. If the given timeMillis is non-positive, this function returns immediately.
This suspending function is cancellable: if the Job of the current coroutine is cancelled while this suspending function is waiting, this function immediately resumes with CancellationException. There is a prompt cancellation guarantee: even if this function is ready to return the result, but was cancelled while suspended, CancellationException will be thrown. See suspendCancellableCoroutine for low-level details.
If you want to delay forever (until cancellation), consider using awaitCancellation instead.
Note that delay can be used in select invocation with onTimeout clause.
Implementation note: how exactly time is tracked is an implementation detail of CoroutineDispatcher in the context.
Parameters
time in milliseconds.
Delays coroutine for at least the given duration without blocking a thread and resumes it after the specified time. If the given duration is non-positive, this function returns immediately.
