Does Kotlin Coroutines replace AsyncTask?

Is AsyncTask still needed?

In Android with Java, we used to implement an AsyncTask and AsyncTaskLoader, but recently I've been beginning to learn Kotlin and I've noticed that things like that are done by Kotlin Coroutines.

AsyncTask has been officially deprecated since Android 11.

Coroutines are the recommended choice, and considering Kotlin is the official language since 2017, then using AsyncTask is no longer a standard option.

Yes, you use Kotlin Coroutines to perform async operations now.

If you are looking for Coroutine usage, then here is an example of using Coroutines to fetch data from different sources asynchronously:-
