fromCallable in "Convert functions to Observable"

[sebaslogen]

Reading the defer+just solution I remembered there is a fromCallable() in Rx, wouldn't solve the problem described in a simpler way?

Is there any advantage in using defer+just instead of fromCallable in your example?

Huh, interesting! I think when we were developing the Khan Academy Android app, fromCallable wasn't yet implemented? (We also had a slight aversion to using any function that was annotated @Experimental.)

I will investigate to see if there are any differences, and update the item to specify fromCallable if there are not! Thank you for reporting this!
