rx-android

I am not getting the reason to use RxJava in Android and LiveData from Android Architectural Components.It would be really helpful if the usecases and differences between the both are explained along with sample example in the form of code which explains the differences between the both. Android LiveData is a variant of the original observer pattern, with the addition of active/inactive transitions. As such, it is very restrictive in its scope. Using the example described in Android LiveData , a class is created to monitor location data, and register and unregister based on application state.

I am building an Android application that has specific requirements regarding Bluetooth Low Energy. I need to write to a Write-only characteristic and receive responses on a separate notification characteristic, and I need to do it in many, many activities. Is there a Rx way to send a request on the 1st characteristic, wait for the answer on the second one, then proceed to another request? Also, to share my instance of RxAndroidBle I thought about doing some sort of BleManager Singleton where I would expose the Observables, so I can easily subscribe to them in my Presenter. I just want to

Consider the following use case: need to deliver first item as soon as possible need to debounce following events with 1 second timeout I ended up implementing custom operator based on OperatorDebounceWithTime then using it like this .lift(new CustomOperatorDebounceWithTime<>(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS, Schedulers.computation())) CustomOperatorDebounceWithTime delivers the first item immediately then uses OperatorDebounceWithTime operator's logic to debounce later items. Is there an easier way to achieve described behavior? Let's skip the compose operator, it doesn't solve the problem. I'm looking

I want to handle pagination in Retrofit using rxjava Observable. I followed the advice from another question . I have more than 100 pages that needs to be fetched, but chain fails around the 20th page and stops any further subscription to the observable with the below log in the logcat 04-04 04:12:11.766 2951-3012/com.example.app I/dalvikvm﹕ threadid=28: stack overflow on call to Ljava/util/concurrent/atomic/AtomicLongFieldUpdater$CASUpdater;.compareAndSet:ZLJJ 04-04 04:12:11.766 2951-3012/com.example.app I/dalvikvm﹕ method requires 56+20+32=108 bytes, fp is 0x94b52350 (80 left) 04-04 04:12:11

TL;DR How to convert Task.whenAll(List<Task>) into RxJava ? My existing code uses Bolts to build up a list of asynchronous tasks and waits until all of those tasks finish before performing other steps. Essentially, it builds up a List<Task> and returns a single Task which is marked as completed when all tasks in the list complete, as per the example on the Bolts site . I'm looking to replace Bolts with RxJava and I'm assuming this method of building up a list of async tasks (size not known in advance) and wrapping them all into a single Observable is possible, but I don't know how. I've tried
