Thanks so much for this intro to Rx. The Excel spreadsheet analogy is great, it makes a complex mindshift to Rx easier to grasp.

Another question. Why have two .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread()) in the subscription chain. Would mainThread be the default anyway?

You invoke the debounce() function in the createTextChangeObservable(). By default, it operates on the computation thread. That’s why you need to explicitly define the execution thread as main, otherwise, you’ll get CalledFromWrongThreadException, as you can access Android views from the main thread only
