Difference between RxJava and RxAndroid?

Question

Why do we need to use RxAndroid with RxJava? What is the functional difference between them and actual use of RxAndroid and RxJava? I can\'t find proper answer for this.

Answer 1

RxAndroid does not replace rxjava. It is a small library of Android specific rxjava utilities. For example it makes the Android application main thread available as an rxjava scheduler.
