What is ReactiveX ?

====== Reactive : Reactive programming is a programming paradigm oriented around data flows and the propagation of change. Reactive programming is programming with asynchronous data streams.

ReactiveX : - Is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs by using observable sequences. It extends the observer pattern to support sequences of data and/or events and adds operators that allow you to compose sequences together declaratively while abstracting away concerns about things like low-level threading, synchronization, thread-safety, concurrent data structures, and non-blocking I/O. - Rx* library family is widely available for many languages and platforms (.NET, Java , Scala, Clojure, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, C++, Objective-C/Cocoa, Groovy, etc).

What is RXAndroid ?

Extended version from RX-Java to Android .
RXAndroid provides many classes which facilities working with android , like - AndroidSchedulers for facilitating managing multi-threading. - AndroidObservable for facilitating dealing within the Android lifecycle. - ViewObservable & WidgetObservable for facilitating binding views , user clicks ... ect.

How RX concept works ?

An Observable performs some action, and publishes the result.
An Observer waits and watches the Observable, and reacts whenever the Observable publishes results.
There are three different changes that can occur on an Observable that the Observer reacts to. These are:
- Publishing a value
- Throwing an error
- Completed publishing all values

When I can choose RXAndroid to do some behaviour ?

When we have concurrent tasks , like you would fetch data from Remote connections , database , any background processes .
When you would to handle stream of UI actions like : user scrolling , clicks , update UI upon some events .....ect .

What is the RXAndroid benefits?

RXAndroid will provide you to deal with below problems in one fell swoop:

No standard mechanism to recover from errors.
Lack of control over thread scheduling (unless you like to dig deep).
No obvious way to compose asynchronous operations.
No obvious and hassle-free way of attaching to Context.

Handle Retrofit with RXAndroid

Add RX to your gradle file

 compile 'io.reactivex:rxandroid:1.2.1'
 compile 'io.reactivex:rxjava:1.1.6'
 compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:adapter-rxjava:2.0.2'

Replace Retrofit Call with Observable . From @GET("topstories/v2/home.json") Call<NewsModel> fetchNews(); to @GET("topstories/v2/home.json") Observable<Response<NewsModel>> fetchNews();
Create Observable 10. Inform your Observable to emit data in background thread with subscribeOn(Schedulers.io()) . 11. Inform your Observable to propagate its stream of data to Main Thread withobserveOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread()) . 12. Register your subscriber to current Observable with subscribe(mSubscriber)

Observable .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io()) .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread()) .subscribe(mSubscriber);



	 13. create subscriber
	 
	 
	 ```
	 Subscriber mSubscriber=new Subscriber<Response<NewsModel>>() {
            @Override
            public void onCompleted() { //handle what should you do after Observable complete its emission , like dismiss dialog , build UI .
                 }
            @Override
            public void onError(Throwable e) {
                //Handle your error
                 }
            @Override
            public void onNext(Response<NewsModel> newsModelResponse) {
                // handle what should you do after receive each emission from observer , like update progress .... ect .
                }
        };

Keep your code clean according to MVP

yes , RXAndroid is easy , powerful , but you should know in which MVP layer you will put it .
for observables which will emit data stream , it has to be in your data layer , and don't inform those observables any thing else like in which thread those will consume , cause it is another responsibility , and according to Single responsibility principle in SOLID (object-oriented design) , so don't break this concept by mixing every thing due to RXAndroid ease .
