Why does I'm not getting lifecycleScope in Java Android?

Question

Exactly this below code I want to use in my existing Java class, because write now it is not possible to convert entire class in Kotlin :

viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycleScope.launchWhenStarted {
    viewModel.tasksEvent.collect { event ->
            
    }
}

Kindly suggest the best approach. I know AsyncTask is deprecated.

If I'm not mistaken Kotlin coroutines are not interoperable with Java . To use Kotlin coroutines stick to the Kotlin code, don't try to use coroutines in Java . Try to convert Java file to Kotlin file using context menu item Convert Java File to Kotlin File .Or move coroutines code to a separate Kotlin File.
