While loop never return false-CodePudding

I have this while loop the problem is if the condition is false it will never break and keeps continue printing as true I'm using firebase to keep tracking of the value

private var gLTF: Boolean? = null

myRef.addValueEventListener(object : ValueEventListener {

    override fun onDataChange(dataSnapshot: DataSnapshot) {
        var gsLvlR = dataSnapshot.child("gLvl").value.toString()
        var gLt = gsLvlR.toInt()

        CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default).launch {
            while (checkGsValue(gLt)) {

                println("true")

                if (!checkGsValue(gLt)) {
                    println("false")
                    break
                }
                delay(15000)
            }

        }
    }

    override fun onCancelled(error: DatabaseError) {
        // Failed to read value
    }
})
//Function
fun checkGsValue(gL: Int): Boolean {
    gLTF = gL > 250
    return gLTF as Boolean
}

here the result from the logcat

CodePudding user response：

You are creating an infinite loop for every onDataChange call that isn't gl > 250

This while loop will never end because gLt is not updated in this context it never changes.

        while (checkGsValue(gLt)) {
            println("true")
            if (!checkGsValue(gLt)) {
                println("false")
                break
            }
            delay(15000)
        }

If act upon each snapshot individually when gLvl is 251 it will print false

 override fun onDataChange(dataSnapshot: DataSnapshot) {
        var gsLvlR = dataSnapshot.child("gLvl").value.toString()
        var gLt = gsLvlR.toInt()
        if(checkGsValue(gLt)){
            println("true")
        }else{
            println("false")
        }
 }
