Awesome

Deprecated

The newer live data offers a better solution to this problem. If you're interested in using rx with live data, you can checkout the live data from reactive streams api

RxLoader

compose() your Observables and Singles into ones that load data that's cached across activity orientation changes without leaking your Activity and without you having to worry about unsubscribing.

RxLoader accomplishes this by building on top of Android Loaders, so the library is super lightweight (only defines 47 methods).

There's a lot of data loading solutions already for Android. I detail why I felt we needed another one here

Code

Github repo is here. Note that it contains some rough sample code.

Javadoc

Basic Usage

build.gradle

dependencies {
  compile 'com.philosophicalhacker.rxloader:rxloader:0.4.0'
}

FooActivity

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    final RxLoader rxLoader = new RxLoader(this, getSupportLoaderManager());
    storyApiService
        .getAskStories()
        .compose(rxLoader.<List<Integer>>makeSingleTransformer())
        .subscribe(new Consumer<List<Integer>>() {
          @Override public void accept(List<Integer> integers) {
            Log.d(TAG, "call() called with: integers = [" + integers + "]");
          }
        });
}

Notice that you don't have worry about calling subscribeOn or observeOn either. That's handled by RxLoader.
