10/23/2022, 3:48 PMAt first glance it looks like an Android library, e.g. the artifact is aar. Not sure why it's not a java library.

10/23/2022, 3:54 PMOh wow, yeah I did not catch that thanks for pointing that out. And I agree, not sure why that's not a Java library
Ryan Smith
10/23/2022, 3:57 PMTbf it looks like a pretty simple set of extension functions: https://androidx.tech/artifacts/compose.runtime/runtime-rxjava3/1.2.1-source/androidx/compose/runtime/rxjava3/RxJava3Adapter.kt.html

10/23/2022, 3:58 PMYeah, I would just copy-paste them.

10/23/2022, 3:59 PMAlso just in case, if you are working on a greenfield project and prefer Rx, I would also recommend checking out https://github.com/badoo/Reaktive

10/23/2022, 4:01 PMOoo this looks pretty nice at first glance - wonder why it hasn't made it to the official ReactiveX org
Ryan Smith
10/23/2022, 4:02 PMOh I see, it's already part of the Badoo Tech org, ignore me

10/23/2022, 4:02 PMThanks for sharing!

10/23/2022, 4:03 PMSadly, the reactivex website looks unmaintained. I filed an issue to add Reaktive a couple of years ago https://github.com/ReactiveX/reactivex.github.io/pull/396

Ryan Smith
10/23/2022, 4:04 PMThat's surprising 🤔 I would have thought that community too big for it to go unmaintained like that
Ryan Smith
10/23/2022, 4:04 PMThere has been RxKotlin for a while, but last time I looked at it it was pretty minimal
a
Arkadii Ivanov
10/23/2022, 4:05 PMRxKotlin is just a set of Kotlin extensions on top of RxJava. Reaktive is KMP Rx from scratch.
r
Ryan Smith
10/23/2022, 4:06 PMRight I would think Reaktive would deprecate and replace RxKotlin

10/23/2022, 11:36 PMNot sure why it's not a java library.
Because the runtime is an AAR and you can't have a jar depend on an aar

10/23/2022, 11:38 PMCurious why you want to use it, though? Flow is superior in every way and you can use the coroutines extensions to convert an observable to flow long before you UI sees it.

10/24/2022, 2:03 AMJust trying to make the learning curve a little less steep. Compose and coroutines are both new to me, but I'm pretty familiar with RxJava so using it instead of Flow for now helps. Plan was "RxJava3 now, migrate to Flow later".

10/24/2022, 2:05 AMIf you have any reference materials for learning coroutines that you stand behind and wouldn't mind sharing that would be awesome
