AutoDispose is an RxJava 2+ library from Uber that automatically binds the execution of RxJava streams to a provided scope via disposal/cancellation. It prevents common bugs like UI updates after an Android Activity has been torn down by unsubscribing streams when the scope ends.

Use cases

  • prevent rxjava subscription leaks in android apps
  • automatically dispose observables when activity stops
  • bind reactive streams to android lifecycle
  • avoid updating ui after screen is destroyed
  • cancel network requests when view is torn down

When to choose

  • you use RxJava 2+ in Android apps and need lifecycle-aware disposal
  • you want to avoid manual subscription management and memory leaks
  • you need scope-based cancellation tied to events like Activity#onStop

When to avoid

  • you use Kotlin coroutines/Flow instead of RxJava
  • your project doesn't use reactive streams
  • you need lifecycle handling for non-RxJava async frameworks
