autodispose

AutoDispose is an RxJava 2 tool for automatically binding the execution of RxJava 2 streams to a provided scope via disposal/cancellation.

The idea is simple: construct your chain like any other, and then at subscription you simply drop in the relevant factory call + method for that type as a converter. In everyday use, it usually looks like this:

myObservable
  .doStuff()
  .as(autoDisposable(this))   // <-- AutoDispose
  .subscribe(s -> ...);

By doing this, you will automatically unsubscribe from myObservable as indicated by your scope

• this helps prevent many classes of errors when an observable emits and item, but the actions taken in the subscription are no longer valid. For instance, if a network request comes back after a UI has already been torn down, the UI can't be updated - this pattern prevents this type of bug.
