Droidcon Italy 2017 // How to reactively load and cache data without even trying - Mike Nakhimovich

Android has a wealth of open source libraries covering everything from network clients to UI frameworks. Something that is missing is a library to help load data from multiple sources, particularly 2 levels of caching + network. NY Times has recently open sourced such a library built on RxJava, Guava + OKIO which will dramatically simplifiy the common task of “get from mem cache, if not there get from disk, if not there hit the network, parse and update cache“. I’ll be taking users through the problems that we tried to solve and the solution that we propose for it.
