Async code on Kotlin: RxJava or/and coroutines
15:10/15:50
It’s never easy to write async code but luckily there are many libraries to manage asynchronicity without adding too much complexity. In the last years RxJava and the other ReactiveX libraries have been very popular but lately there is a new way to manage async code in Kotlin: the coroutines. In this talk we’ll see pros and cons of there two approaches and how to leverage them to simplify asynchronous code on Android. Do they solve the same problem? Can we use them together? How can we use them effectively in Android development? Spoiler alert: They are both great!
