📌 Overview
In Android development, async/await (using suspend functions and coroutines) is used to perform background tasks, such as network requests, database operations, or file I/O, without blocking the UI thread. This ensures a smooth user experience while handling long-running tasks efficiently.

🎯 Features of This Example
✅ Fetch data from a mock API asynchronously
✅ Display a loading indicator while fetching data
✅ Update the UI with retrieved data
✅ Prevent UI freezing by using coroutines

🛠 Technologies Used
🔹 Language: Kotlin
🔹 Asynchronous Processing: Kotlin Coroutines (async, await)
🔹 Network Request: Retrofit (optional)
🔹 UI Design: Jetpack Compose or XML
