Default Schedulers for rxjava on Android

Question

I\'m using Retrofit to return rxjava Observable\'s for my async network calls.

I find myself repeating the following invocation:

someApiCall().subscrib

Answer 1

The Change Log of Retrofit Version 2.0.0-beta2 (2015-09-28) shows subscribeOn() is required for running in the background.

Fix: Observable and Single-based execution of requests now behave synchronously (and thus requires subscribeOn() for running in the background).
