Is RxJava support for Room the same as RxJava

Question

There is now a RxJava support library for Room , and so I was wondering if I can remove RxJava library from my Android project, or use both together? I noticed that the Room support version has the same functionalities as RxJava (I am just using it for accessing a local database).

Answer 1

No, room-rxjava2 library has RxRoom which in turn depends on the components from rxjava2 library. Therefore build will fail in the case of excluding rxjava2 library from the project dependencies.
