How can you implement logic that has retry with exponential backoff? for example if fooBar() throws an exception ... you catch the exception and retry some finite number of times

i am not looking to introduce Flow since my codebase isn't using Coroutines. we use RxJava

[Adrian Stypiński]

Maybe use kotlin-retry library?

[lawlorslaw]

do you have the link?

[Adrian Stypiński]

https://github.com/michaelbull/kotlin-retry i see it hasnt been updated since 2021. Perhaps you should find something else

[lawlorslaw]

yeah i would like to find a solution that is recently maintained

[Adrian Stypiński]

You can always use this lib as inspiration to your own implementation as it’s not that complicated to develop

they recently released 2.0, so it's alive and well

#arrow has a solution for this

Although I'm not sure how easy it will be to integrate it with RxJava, as it's designed around suspend functions
