What are some advanced best practices for using async in Xamarin?

When using async in Xamarin, consider using the Async/Await pattern effectively, managing cancellation tokens, and optimizing UI responsiveness.

Can you explain how to manage cancellation tokens?

Certainly! You can use CancellationTokenSource to create a cancellation token and pass it to your async methods. This allows you to cancel ongoing operations gracefully.

What about error handling in async methods?

For error handling, wrap your await calls in try-catch blocks. This way, you can catch exceptions and handle them appropriately without crashing the app.

Are there any performance tips for async operations?

Yes! Minimize the number of await calls, avoid blocking calls, and use ConfigureAwait(false) when you don't need to resume on the UI thread.
