Pause a job

In case of Android, we can cancel a job and its children in onDestroy. Is there a way to pause it (e.g. in onStop) and resume it (e.g. in onStart)? Or any plan to implement it?

I’m closing this issue in favor of #258. Having thought about the issue I don’t think that solving “pausing” problem on a dispatcher level is a right way to do it. It is better to explicitly write code that suspends coroutine until the desired state is reached.

However, if you doing some UI animations with coroutines or something like that, then pausing them indeed makes sense.

Yes, it’s what I meant, there’s no problem with the HTTP response, but I want to delay displaying/toasting/animating something based on that response until the fragment/activity started (in case it is stopped).
