Rxjava and Android ContentProviders

[ivano ivano]

In Android there is an important component called ContentProvider that offer a facade pattern to change data with other applications. As all the devs that are not still implementing RXJava I use it with a concurrency mechanism called CursorLoader( that asynchronously retrieve data from mySqlite(inbuilt in android) and send to the View.

Now I am changing my old app( to adapt to RxJava). Do I have to get rid of the ContentProvider and CursorLoader? I found only a blog page on the internet where the CursorLoader are implemented with RXJava, this looks quite ugly to me.

What is the best practice on that?
Thanks

finally I found it, I should use SQLBRITE that wrap the ContentProvider and the MYSQL db.
for the Cursor is really easy just create an Observable/FlowableProcessor(ex Subjects in rxjava`1`), and then subscribe the disposable when you need, remembering to call an async scheduler.

The solution was trivial but not immediate, because there is no official doc, so I went trough different blogs, also checked with my dev friends if was a best practice and they confirm it.

I am curious if can be used with ROOM the persistent DB prensented at the last I/O
