Is it an oversight that there’s no way to convert `Observable -> Flow` in the Flow RX extensions?...

Is it an oversight that there’s no way to convert Observable -> Flow in the Flow RX extensions? You can do Observable -> Flowable -> Flow but it would be nice to be able to do convert it directly

It's because they are different concepts. Observable doesn't support back pressure.

[ansman]

Well it could easily include the same back pressure strategy parameter as Observable to Flowable. I find it rare to use Flowable on Android

We mostly use Flowable… no that rare 🙂

[ansman]

There are few places where I think it makes sense to use Flowable on Android. Not that many cold observables besides network requests where you usually have a Single anyway

We’ve decided that it is not that useful initially.
Could you please create an issue for that?
