Handle Network error with Retrofit observable

Question

When using Observables with Retrofit how do you handle Network failure?

Given this code:

Observable observable = api.getApiService(         


        

Answer 1

My problem was actually elsewhere in my code. Handling network errors with rxJava + Retrofit is very easy as it just throws a RetrofitError in the onError method:

 @Override
 public void onError(Throwable e) {
     if (e instanceof RetrofitError) {
        if (((RetrofitError) e).isNetworkError()) {
            //handle network error
        } else {
            //handle error message from server
        }
     }
 }
