Hi, I have an interface with a method like this fun doSomething(param: SomeParams): Single<Something> where Single is from RxJava. I want to use coroutines inside my implementation and wrap the value at the end. But how can I create the CoroutineContext? It’s ok to use the runBlocking in this context? something like this:

fun doSomething(param: SomeParams): Single<Something> = Single.just(
   runBlocking {
        doSomething()
    }
)
suspend fun doSomething(): Something = TODO()

Thanks

Using Single.just() is probably a mistake, that will do the runBlocking when doSomething is called instead of when someone subscribes to the Single. That defeats the entire goal of being reactive.

Also using runBlocking prevents cancellation.

Kotlin provides library for doing this mapping. https://kotlin.github.io/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-rx2/kotlinx.coroutines.rx2/rx-single.html

Thanks! This is what I was looking for!
