RxJava -> useCase, repository, viewModels
views -> rxbinding

08/30/2018, 1:41 PMThanks guys, I’ll stick to LD in ViewModel layer, cause plays nicely with databinding and is lifecycle aware. Will do simple project with coroutines & RxJava on other layers and see what “works better”. Thanks for sharing
