RXJava for Android

RXJava is a reactive programming library for Java and Kotlin. It allows developers to write applications that respond to data changes in an asynchronous, non-blocking manner.

RXJava is a powerful library that can be used for a variety of tasks, including:

  • Creating observables
  • Transformation of observables
  • Error handling
  • Creating responsive views

We do not recommend the use of RXJava. Coroutines and flows are preferred.
