Thanks I appreciate that

Thanks a billion, that was just the missing piece I needed! I'd just used the regular LiveData without Rx, works just as well and less dependencies :)

Hey, I had a doubt how LiveData and Rx are compared, like when to use which?

I am currently building an app where i need to fetch the data only no other operations. What should i use LiveData or RxJava?

​@@preetgandhi1233 We can compare Rx and coroutines, but not LiveData and Rx. LiveData is just a life-cycle aware observable data holder class.

Hey Mitch, there is an interesting question in a comment from @Faqrul Ans: why can't we observe the retrofit call and when we get a response - just set value in a regular MuteableLiveData? (which will, in turn, update the activity)? p.s. great video, really want to go through all your tutorials.

Great tutorial series! Can you please answer me one question? With retrofit's Call return type there's onError callback (it also appears on RxJava if you use Observables). I used that to detect errors and react to them in some way (Like show error AlertDialog) Using the Flowable-to-LiveData as shown in this video - i can not see any way to detect and react to errors. Can you please clear this out if possible? Thanks a lot!

So basically what i am trying to say - how do you detect and determine errors of API calls with the implementation in this video?

Thanks! Very cool what you're doing. Have you consider using data binding for mvvm?

@@codingwithmitch Then do you prefer ButterKnife?

Man this is a Dagger playlist. And in a Dagger playlist you use reactive chains where you could just put a callback on a retrofit async call and put the result in a mutable livedata. Just .... why?

i have a question, why use LiveData instead of RxJava in the view? both make the same work

Yeah you could use either. This is the way I approach it: I'm personally more comfortable with LiveData. In this example it literally doesn't matter because it's not a complicated transaction. But when the transactions get more complicated I prefer to do the necessary RX, Then bring everything into the LiveData world simply because I'm more comfortable with it. But it really doesn't matter. You could go all Rx observables. Or you can convert to LiveData like I did. Whatever you like.

AFAIK, LiveData is aware of activity/fragment/service lifecycles so you don't need to unsubscribe from it when it's closing or on orientation changes.

First, thank you very much for the explanation sir, but I'm still a little bit confused about LiveDataReactiveStream & MediatorLiveData :'(, why we need these two things here ? Could we just do something like this (?) private MuteableLiveData userAuth = new MuteableLliveData(); public void authenticateWithId(int userId) { authApi.getUser(userId) .subscribeOn() .observeOn() .subscribe(user -> { userAuth.setValue(user) }) }

@CodingWithMitch Why did you write the logic for getting data from API in ViewModel. I am your premier customer and in the MVVM course you are getting data from API with help of repository

This should be written in the api client -> repository -> viewmodels -> ui
