LiveData and RxJava are both libraries for handling data streams in Android applications, but they have key differences.
LiveData is a lifecycle-aware component from Android Architecture Components. It ensures that UI components only receive updates when they’re active, preventing memory leaks and crashes due to stopped activities. LiveData is best suited for simple use cases where you need to observe changes in data within the app’s lifecycle.
RxJava, on the other hand, is a more powerful library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences. It offers advanced features like error handling, backpressure control, and complex operators for combining and transforming data streams. RxJava is ideal for complex scenarios involving multiple data sources or operations that require precise control over concurrency and threading.
