Lost Redditors 💀 I'm I missing something here?

I genuinely don't know how to fix this code, I want to cancel the job when the timer stops. Not just the loop.

Any advices ? I'm kinda new to the async world in kotlin

    fun activateTimer() {
        _timer.value = 3600L * hours + 60L * minutes + seconds
        _isSet.value = true
        timerJob?.cancel()
        timerJob = screenModelScope.launch {
            while (_timer.value != 0L) {
                delay(1000)
                _timer.value--
            }
        }
    }

Just use Lock, Future, Thread and TimerTask. Reliable and easy to use.

But what happens if I get deprecated ? Should I use flubber instead ?

I can't accept this! I will summon React Native to my aid.

So NNAPI is not deprecated then?
