Learn how to implement RxJava in Android applications while maintaining backward compatibility. This guide provides practical solutions and code examples.

 
// Example of making RxJava backward compatible in Android
import io.reactivex.android.schedulers.AndroidSchedulers;
import io.reactivex.schedulers.Schedulers;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Observable.just("Hello, RxJava!")
                .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                .subscribe(System.out::println, Throwable::printStackTrace);
    }
}
