What it is

RxLifecycle is a library that automatically completes RxJava Observables/Flowables/Singles based on Android lifecycle events, preventing memory leaks from incomplete subscriptions. It integrates with Android's Lifecycle architecture (androidx.lifecycle) and provides smart binding that terminates streams at opposing lifecycle events (e.g., subscriptions during START terminate at STOP). Core capability: compose-based operators like RxLifecycle.bindUntilEvent() and RxLifecycleAndroid.bindActivity() that inject completion signals into reactive chains. Multi-module Android library: root build.gradle defines shared versions; rxlifecycle-android-lifecycle/ contains the Java provider…

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/trello-archive/RxLifecycle.git
cd RxLifecycle
./gradlew build

Note: This is a library—no runnable app. Use ./gradlew test to run unit tests in rxlifecycle-android-lifecycle/src/test/. Add dependency to your app's build.gradle: `implementation 'com.trello.rxlifecycle4:rxlifecycle…

Daily commands:

This is a library, not an executable project. Build: ./gradlew build. Run tests: ./gradlew :rxlifecycle-android-lifecycle:test. Check code: ./gradlew lint. Publish locally: ./gradlew install (requires Maven loca…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 3y ago
• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 75% of recent commits
• No surprises, but: (1) This is a library, not an app—calling ./gradlew run won't work; use ./gradlew build and ./gradlew test. (2) MinSdkVersion 14 is very permissive; modern projects likely target 21+ and may…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
