Combining Two Flows and add them to temporary list of StateFlow(Hot Flows)

I m getting data from two End points using flows and assigning those two list to temporary list in ViewModel. For this purpose, I'm using combine function and returning result as stateFlows with stateIn operator but that's not working. Can anyone point me out where I go wrong please.
ViewModel.kt
private val _movieItem: MutableStateFlow<State<List<HomeRecyclerViewItems>>> =
MutableStateFlow(State.Loading())
val movieItems: StateFlow<State<List<HomeRecyclerViewItems>>> = _movieItem
fun getHomeItemList() {
viewModelScope.launch {
val testList: Flow<State<List<HomeRecyclerViewItems.Movie>>> =
settingsRepo.getMovieList().map {
State.fromResource(it)
}
val directorList: Flow<State<List<HomeRecyclerViewItems.Directors>>> =
settingsRepo.getDirectorList().map {
State.fromResource(it)
}
_movieItem.value = combine(testList, directorList) { testList, directorList ->
testList + directorList // This is not working as "+" Unresolve Error
}.stateIn(
viewModelScope,
SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed(5000),
State.loading<Nothing>()
) as State<List<HomeRecyclerViewItems>> // Unchecked cast: StateFlow<Any> to State<List<HomeRecyclerViewItems>>
}

Note: I m following this tutorial simpliedCoding for api data for multirecyclerview but want to implement it with Kotlin State Flow. Any help in this regard is highly appreciated. Thanks.

Your problem is in here
val testList: Flow<State<List<HomeRecyclerViewItems.Movie>>> =
settingsRepo.getMovieList().map {
State.fromResource(it)
}
val directorList: Flow<State<List<HomeRecyclerViewItems.Directors>>> =
settingsRepo.getDirectorList().map {
State.fromResource(it)
}
_movieItem.value = combine(testList, directorList) { testList, directorList ->
testList + directorList
}
They are not returning a List<HomeRecyclerViewItems>, but a State<List<HomeRecyclerViewItems>. Maybe a better name for the variables are testsState and directorsState. After that it will be more clear why you need to unpack the values before combining the lists
_movieItem.value = combine(testsState, directorsState) { testsState, directorsState ->
val homeRecyclerViewItems = mutableListOf<HomeRecyclerViewItems>()
if (testsState is Success) homeRecyclerViewItems.add(testsState.data)
if (directorsState is Success) homeRecyclerViewItems.add(directorsState.data)
homeRecyclerViewItems
}

Firestore with StateFlow real time change is observed in repo and view model, but adapter is not being updated

As a developer one needs to adapt to change, I read somewhere it says:
If you don’t choose the right architecture for your Android project, you will have a hard time maintaining it as your codebase grows and your team expands.
I wanted to implement Clean Architecture with MVVM
My app data flow will look like this:
Model class
data class Note(
val title: String? = null,
val timestamp: String? = null
)
Dtos
data class NoteRequest(
val title: String? = null,
val timestamp: String? = null
)
and
data class NoteResponse(
val id: String? = null,
val title: String? = null,
val timestamp: String? = null
)
Repository layer is
interface INoteRepository {
fun getNoteListSuccessListener(success: (List<NoteResponse>) -> Unit)
fun deleteNoteSuccessListener(success: (List<NoteResponse>) -> Unit)
fun getNoteList()
fun deleteNoteById(noteId: String)
}
NoteRepositoryImpl is:
class NoteRepositoryImpl: INoteRepository {
private val mFirebaseFirestore = Firebase.firestore
private val mNotesCollectionReference = mFirebaseFirestore.collection(COLLECTION_NOTES)
private val noteList = mutableListOf<NoteResponse>()
private var getNoteListSuccessListener: ((List<NoteResponse>) -> Unit)? = null
private var deleteNoteSuccessListener: ((List<NoteResponse>) -> Unit)? = null
override fun getNoteListSuccessListener(success: (List<NoteResponse>) -> Unit) {
getNoteListSuccessListener = success
}
override fun deleteNoteSuccessListener(success: (List<NoteResponse>) -> Unit) {
deleteNoteSuccessListener = success
}
override fun getNoteList() {
mNotesCollectionReference
.addSnapshotListener { value, _ ->
noteList.clear()
if (value != null) {
for (item in value) {
noteList
.add(item.toNoteResponse())
}
getNoteListSuccessListener?.invoke(noteList)
}
Log.e("NOTE_REPO", "$noteList")
}
}
override fun deleteNoteById(noteId: String) {
mNotesCollectionReference.document(noteId)
.delete()
.addOnSuccessListener {
deleteNoteSuccessListener?.invoke(noteList)
}
}
}
ViewModel layer is:
interface INoteViewModel {
val noteListStateFlow: StateFlow<List<NoteResponse>>
val noteDeletedStateFlow: StateFlow<List<NoteResponse>>
fun getNoteList()
fun deleteNoteById(noteId: String)
}
NoteViewModelImpl is:
class NoteViewModelImpl: ViewModel(), INoteViewModel {
private val mNoteRepository: INoteRepository = NoteRepositoryImpl()
private val _noteListStateFlow = MutableStateFlow<List<NoteResponse>>(mutableListOf())
override val noteListStateFlow: StateFlow<List<NoteResponse>>
get() = _noteListStateFlow.asStateFlow()
private val _noteDeletedStateFlow = MutableStateFlow<List<NoteResponse>>(mutableListOf())
override val noteDeletedStateFlow: StateFlow<List<NoteResponse>>
get() = _noteDeletedStateFlow.asStateFlow()
init {
// getNoteListSuccessListener
mNoteRepository
.getNoteListSuccessListener {
viewModelScope
.launch {
_noteListStateFlow.emit(it)
Log.e("NOTE_G_VM", "$it")
}
}
// deleteNoteSuccessListener
mNoteRepository
.deleteNoteSuccessListener {
viewModelScope
.launch {
_noteDeletedStateFlow.emit(it)
Log.e("NOTE_D_VM", "$it")
}
}
}
override fun getNoteList() {
// Get all notes
mNoteRepository.getNoteList()
}
override fun deleteNoteById(noteId: String) {
mNoteRepository.deleteNoteById(noteId = noteId)
}
}
and last but not least Fragment is:
class HomeFragment : Fragment() {
private lateinit var binding: FragmentHomeBinding
private val viewModel: INoteViewModel by viewModels<NoteViewModelImpl>()
private lateinit var adapter: NoteAdapter
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View {
binding = FragmentHomeBinding.inflate(inflater, container, false)
return binding.root
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
val recyclerView = binding.recyclerViewNotes
recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(
ExFABScrollListener(binding.fab)
)
adapter = NoteAdapter{itemView, noteId ->
if (noteId != null) {
showMenu(itemView, noteId)
}
}
recyclerView.adapter = adapter
// initView()
fetchFirestoreData()
binding.fab.setOnClickListener {
val action = HomeFragmentDirections.actionFirstFragmentToSecondFragment()
findNavController().navigate(action)
}
}
private fun fetchFirestoreData() {
// Get note list
viewModel
.getNoteList()
// Create list object
val noteList:MutableList<NoteResponse> = mutableListOf()
// Impose StateFlow
viewModel
.noteListStateFlow
.onEach { data ->
data.forEach {noteResponse ->
noteList.add(noteResponse)
adapter.submitList(noteList)
Log.e("NOTE_H_FRAG", "$noteResponse")
}
}.launchIn(viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycleScope)
}
//In the showMenu function from the previous example:
#SuppressLint("RestrictedApi")
private fun showMenu(v: View, noteId: String) {
val menuBuilder = MenuBuilder(requireContext())
SupportMenuInflater(requireContext()).inflate(R.menu.menu_note_options, menuBuilder)
menuBuilder.setCallback(object : MenuBuilder.Callback {
override fun onMenuItemSelected(menu: MenuBuilder, item: MenuItem): Boolean {
return when(item.itemId){
R.id.option_edit -> {
val action = HomeFragmentDirections.actionFirstFragmentToSecondFragment(noteId = noteId)
findNavController().navigate(action)
true
}
R.id.option_delete -> {
viewModel
.deleteNoteById(noteId = noteId)
// Create list object
val noteList:MutableList<NoteResponse> = mutableListOf()
viewModel
.noteDeletedStateFlow
.onEach {data ->
data.forEach {noteResponse ->
noteList.add(noteResponse)
adapter.submitList(noteList)
Log.e("NOTE_H_FRAG", "$noteResponse")
}
}.launchIn(viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycleScope)
true
} else -> false
}
}
override fun onMenuModeChange(menu: MenuBuilder) {}
})
val menuHelper = MenuPopupHelper(requireContext(), menuBuilder, v)
menuHelper.setForceShowIcon(true) // show icons!!!!!!!!
menuHelper.show()
}
}
With all the above logic I'm facing TWO issues
issue - 1
As mentioned here, I have added SnapshotListener on collection as:
override fun getNoteList() {
mNotesCollectionReference
.addSnapshotListener { value, _ ->
noteList.clear()
if (value != null) {
for (item in value) {
noteList
.add(item.toNoteResponse())
}
getNoteListSuccessListener?.invoke(noteList)
}
Log.e("NOTE_REPO", "$noteList")
}
}
with it if I change values of a document from Firebase Console, I get updated values in Repository and ViewModel, but list of notes is not being updated which is passed to adapter, so all the items are same.
issue - 2
If I delete any item from list/recyclerview using:
R.id.option_delete -> {
viewModel
.deleteNoteById(noteId = noteId)
// Create list object
val noteList:MutableList<NoteResponse> = mutableListOf()
viewModel
.noteDeletedStateFlow
.onEach {data ->
data.forEach {noteResponse ->
noteList.add(noteResponse)
adapter.submitList(noteList)
Log.e("NOTE_H_FRAG", "$noteResponse")
}
}.launchIn(viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycleScope)
still I get updated list(i.e new list of notes excluding deleted note) in Repository and ViewModel, but list of notes is not being updated which is passed to adapter, so all the items are same, no and exclusion of deleted item.
Question Where exactly I'm making mistake to initialize/update adapter? because ViewModel and Repository are working fine.

Make following changes:
In init{} block of NoteViewModelImpl :
// getNoteListSuccessListener
mNoteRepository
.getNoteListSuccessListener{noteResponseList ->
viewModelScope.launch{
_noteListStateFlow.emit(it.toList())
}
}
you must add .toList() if you want to emit list in StateFlow to get notified about updates, and in HomeFragment
private fun fetchFirestoreData() {
// Get note list
viewModel
.getNoteList()
// Impose StateFlow
lifecycleScope.launch {
viewModel.noteListStateFlow.collect { list ->
adapter.submitList(list.toMutableList())
}
}
}
That's it, I hope it works fine.

Try to remove additional lists of items in the fetchFirestoreData() and showMenu() (for item R.id.option_delete) methods of the HomeFragment fragment and see if it works:
// remove `val noteList:MutableList<NoteResponse>` in `fetchFirestoreData()` method
private fun fetchFirestoreData() {
...
// remove this line
val noteList:MutableList<NoteResponse> = mutableListOf()
// Impose StateFlow
viewModel
.noteListStateFlow
.onEach { data ->
adapter.submitList(data)
}.launchIn(viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycleScope)
}
And the same for the delete menu item (R.id.option_delete).

MVVM Add to favourites functionality

I am implementing an "Add to favourites" functionality in a detail screen. If the user taps the FAB, I want to set the fab as selected and update my database. How could I use the same value that I am sending to the database to be used in my fragment (to be consistent, in case there is some issue while updating the DB)
Fragment
class BeerDetailsFragment : Fragment(R.layout.fragment_beer_details) {
private val viewModel by viewModels<BeerDetailsViewModel>()
private val args by navArgs<BeerDetailsFragmentArgs>()
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
subscribeToObservers()
viewModel.getBeer(args.beerId)
}
private fun subscribeToObservers() {
viewModel.beer.observe(viewLifecycleOwner, { resource ->
when(resource.status) {
Status.SUCCESS -> {
loadData(resource.data)
}
Status.ERROR -> {
showError(resource.message)
}
Status.LOADING -> {}
}
})
}
private fun loadData(beerDetails: BeerDomainModel?) {
if (beerDetails != null) {
Glide.with(requireContext())
.load(beerDetails.imageMedium)
.placeholder(R.drawable.ic_beer)
.error(R.drawable.ic_beer)
.fallback(R.drawable.ic_beer)
.into(beerDetailsImage)
beerDetailsName.text = beerDetails.name
beerDetailsDescription.text = beerDetails.description
fab.isSelected = beerDetails.isFavourite
fab.setOnClickListener {
viewModel.updateBeer(beerDetails)
// I shouldn't do it like this in case there is an issue while updating the DB
fab.isSelected = !beerDetails.isFavourite
}
}
}
...
View Model class
class BeerDetailsViewModel #ViewModelInject constructor(private val repository: BreweryRepository) : ViewModel() {
private val beerId = MutableLiveData<String>()
fun getBeer(id: String) {
beerId.value = id
}
var beer = beerId.switchMap { id ->
liveData {
emit(Resource.loading(null))
emit(repository.getBeer(id))
}
}
fun updateBeer(beer: BeerDomainModel) {
viewModelScope.launch {
repository.updateBeer(beer)
}
}
}
Repository
class BreweryRepository #Inject constructor(private val breweryApi: BreweryApi, private val beerDao: BeerDao, private val responseHandler: ResponseHandler) {
...
suspend fun getBeer(id: String): Resource<BeerDomainModel> {
return try {
withContext(IO) {
val isInDB = beerDao.isInDB(id)
if (!isInDB) {
val response = breweryApi.getBeer(id).beer.toDomainModel()
beerDao.insert(response.toBeerEntity())
responseHandler.handleSuccess(response)
} else {
val beer = beerDao.get(id).toDomainModel()
responseHandler.handleSuccess(beer)
}
}
} catch (e: Exception) {
responseHandler.handleException(e)
}
}
suspend fun updateBeer(beer: BeerDomainModel) {
withContext(IO) {
val dbBeer = with(beer) {
copy(isFavourite = !isFavourite)
toBeerEntity()
}
beerDao.update(dbBeer)
}
}
}

I would prefer to use a unidirectional flow with the following implementation:
Not sure how is your DAO implemented, but if you are using Room you could update your get method to return a Flow instead. That way whenever your data is updated, you will get back the updated data.
Then in your VM you just get that Flow or stream of data and subscribe to the updates. Flow has a very convenient method: asLiveData() so your code will look much cleaner.
If you are not using Room, then what I'd do is either construct a Flow or some type of stream and on updates successful updates send out the new data.

Android: Firebase Object is null when using kotlin flow

My problem is, that when I try to get a document out of my database, that this document aka the object is always null. I only have this problem when I use Kotlin Coroutines to get the document out of my database. Using the standard approach with listeners do work.
EmailRepository
interface EmailRepository {
suspend fun getCalibratePrice(): Flow<EmailEntity?>
suspend fun getRepairPrice(): Flow<EmailEntity?>
}
EmailRepository Implementation
class EmailRepositoryImpl #Inject constructor(private val db: FirebaseFirestore) : EmailRepository {
fun hasInternet(): Boolean {
return true
}
// This works! When using flow to write a document, the document is written!
override fun sendEmail(email: Email)= flow {
emit(EmailStatus.loading())
if (hasInternet()) {
db.collection("emails").add(email).await()
emit(EmailStatus.success(Unit))
} else {
emit(EmailStatus.failed<Unit>("No Email connection"))
}
}.catch {
emit(EmailStatus.failed(it.message.toString()))
}.flowOn(Dispatchers.Main)
// This does not work! "EmailEntity" is always null. I checked the document path!
override suspend fun getCalibratePrice(): Flow<EmailEntity?> = flow {
val result = db.collection("emailprice").document("Kalibrieren").get().await()
emit(result.toObject<EmailEntity>())
}.catch {
}.flowOn(Dispatchers.Main)
// This does not work! "EmailEntity" is always null. I checked the document path!
override suspend fun getRepairPrice(): Flow<EmailEntity?> = flow {
val result = db.collection("emailprice").document("Reparieren").get().await()
emit(result.toObject<EmailEntity>())
}.catch {
}.flowOn(Dispatchers.Main)
}
Viewmodel where I get the data
init {
viewModelScope.launch {
withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
if (subject.value != null){
when(subject.value) {
"Test" -> {
emailRepository.getCalibratePrice().collect {
emailEntity.value = it
}
}
"Toast" -> {
emailRepository.getRepairPrice().collect {
emailEntity.value = it
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
private val emailEntity = MutableLiveData<EmailEntity?>()
private val _subject = MutableLiveData<String>()
val subject: LiveData<String> get() = _subject
Fragment
#AndroidEntryPoint
class CalibrateRepairMessageFragment() : EmailFragment<FragmentCalibrateRepairMessageBinding>(
R.layout.fragment_calibrate_repair_message,
) {
// Get current toolbar Title and send it to the next fragment.
private val toolbarText: CharSequence by lazy { toolbar_title.text }
override val viewModel: EmailViewModel by navGraphViewModels(R.id.nav_send_email) { defaultViewModelProviderFactory }
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
// Here I set the data from the MutableLiveData "subject". I don't know how to do it better
viewModel.setSubject(toolbarText.toString())
}
}
One would say, that the Firebase rules are the problems here, but that should not be the case here, because the database is open and using the listener approach does work.
I get the subject.value from my CalibrateRepairMessageFragment. When I don't check if(subject.value != null) I get a NullPointerException from my init block.
I will use the emailEntitiy only in my viewModel and not outside it.
I appreciate every help, thank you.
EDIT
This is the new way I get the data. The object is still null! I've also added Timber.d messages in my suspend functions which also never get executed therefore flow never throws an error.. With this new approach I don't get a NullPointerException anymore
private val emailEntity = liveData {
when(subject.value) {
"Test" -> emailRepository.getCalibratePrice().collect {
emit(it)
}
"Toast" -> emailRepository.getRepairPrice().collect {
emit(it)
}
// Else block is never executed, therefore "subject.value" is either Test or toast and the logic works. Still error when using flow!
else -> EmailEntity("ERROR", 0F)
}
}
I check if the emailEntity is null or not with Timber.d("EmailEntity is ${emailEntity.value}") in one of my functions.
I then set the price with val price = MutableLiveData(emailEntity.value?.basePrice ?: 1000F) but because emailentity is null the price is always 1000
EDIT 2
I have now further researched the problem and made a big step forward. When observing the emailEntity from a fragment like CalibrateRepairMessageFragment the value is no longer null.
Furthermore, when observing emailEntity the value is also not null in viewModel, but only when it is observed in one fragment! So how can I observe emailEntity from my viewModel or get the value from my repository and use it in my viewmodel?

Okay, I have solved my problem, this is the final solution:
Status class
sealed class Status<out T> {
data class Success<out T>(val data: T) : Status<T>()
class Loading<T> : Status<T>()
data class Failure<out T>(val message: String?) : Status<T>()
companion object {
fun <T> success(data: T) = Success<T>(data)
fun <T> loading() = Loading<T>()
fun <T> failed(message: String?) = Failure<T>(message)
}
}
EmailRepository
interface EmailRepository {
fun sendEmail(email: Email): Flow<Status<Unit>>
suspend fun getCalibratePrice(): Flow<Status<CalibrateRepairPricing?>>
suspend fun getRepairPrice(): Flow<Status<CalibrateRepairPricing?>>
}
EmailRepositoryImpl
class EmailRepositoryImpl (private val db: FirebaseFirestore) : EmailRepository {
fun hasInternet(): Boolean {
return true
}
override fun sendEmail(email: Email)= flow {
Timber.d("Executed Send Email Repository")
emit(Status.loading())
if (hasInternet()) {
db.collection("emails").add(email).await()
emit(Status.success(Unit))
} else {
emit(Status.failed<Unit>("No Internet connection"))
}
}.catch {
emit(Status.failed(it.message.toString()))
}.flowOn(Dispatchers.Main)
// Sends status and object to viewModel
override suspend fun getCalibratePrice(): Flow<Status<CalibrateRepairPricing?>> = flow {
emit(Status.loading())
val entity = db.collection("emailprice").document("Kalibrieren").get().await().toObject<CalibrateRepairPricing>()
emit(Status.success(entity))
}.catch {
Timber.d("Error on getCalibrate Price")
emit(Status.failed(it.message.toString()))
}
// Sends status and object to viewModel
override suspend fun getRepairPrice(): Flow<Status<CalibrateRepairPricing?>> = flow {
emit(Status.loading())
val entity = db.collection("emailprice").document("Kalibrieren").get().await().toObject<CalibrateRepairPricing>()
emit(Status.success(entity))
}.catch {
Timber.d("Error on getRepairPrice")
emit(Status.failed(it.message.toString()))
}
}
ViewModel
private lateinit var calibrateRepairPrice: CalibrateRepairPricing
private val _calirateRepairPriceErrorState = MutableLiveData<Status<Unit>>()
val calibrateRepairPriceErrorState: LiveData<Status<Unit>> get() = _calirateRepairPriceErrorState
init {
viewModelScope.launch {
when(_subject.value.toString()) {
"Toast" -> emailRepository.getCalibratePrice().collect {
when(it) {
is Status.Success -> {
calibrateRepairPrice = it.data!!
_calirateRepairPriceErrorState.postValue(Status.success(Unit))
}
is Status.Loading -> _calirateRepairPriceErrorState.postValue(Status.loading())
is Status.Failure -> _calirateRepairPriceErrorState.postValue(Status.failed(it.message))
}
}
else -> emailRepository.getRepairPrice().collect {
when(it) {
is Status.Success -> {
calibrateRepairPrice = it.data!!
_calirateRepairPriceErrorState.postValue(Status.success(Unit))
}
is Status.Loading -> _calirateRepairPriceErrorState.postValue(Status.loading())
is Status.Failure -> _calirateRepairPriceErrorState.postValue(Status.failed(it.message))
}
}
}
price.postValue(calibrateRepairPrice.head!!.basePrice)
}
}
You can now observe the status in one of your fragments (but you dont need to!)
Fragment
viewModel.calibrateRepairPriceErrorState.observe(viewLifecycleOwner) { status ->
when(status) {
is Status.Success -> requireContext().toast("Price successfully loaded")
is Status.Loading -> requireContext().toast("Price is loading")
is Status.Failure -> requireContext().toast("Error, Price could not be loaded")
}
}
This is my toast extensions function:
fun Context.toast(text: String, duration: Int = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) {
Toast.makeText(this, text, duration).show()
}

NetworkOnMainThreadException when using rxandroid and mvvm design pattern

I have an issue with my code which is throwing NetworkOnMainThreadException. I am trying to connect to an Android app to Odoo using Android XML-RPC library.
Here is what I am doing.

val result =
client.call("login", database, login, password)
return Single.just(result as Int)
}}
This class is called from a repository class.
The repository if called by the viewmodel class using rxandroid

fun getUser(): LiveData<OdooResource<Int>> {
return user
}
}
I have called this class from my activity as follow
class OdooActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private lateinit var odooViewModel: OdooViewModel
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_odoo)
setupViewModel()
setupObserver()
}
private fun setupObserver() {
odooViewModel.getUser().observe(this, Observer {
Log.i("TAGGG", "Tests")
when (it.status) {
OdooStatus.AUTHENTICATION_SUCCESS -> {
progressBar.visibility = View.GONE
it.data?.let { server -> textView.setText(server.toString()) }
textView.visibility = View.VISIBLE
}
OdooStatus.AUTHENTICATION -> {
progressBar.visibility = View.VISIBLE
textView.visibility = View.GONE
}
OdooStatus.AUTHENTICATION_ERROR -> {
//Handle Error
progressBar.visibility = View.GONE
Toast.makeText(this, it.message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
else -> {
}
}
})
}
private fun setupViewModel() {
val viewModelFactory = OdooViewModelFactory(OdooApiHelper(OdooServiceImpl()), this)
odooViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this, viewModelFactory).get(OdooViewModel::class.java)
}
}
When I run the app this is a the line which is throwing the error
odooViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this, viewModelFactory).get(OdooViewModel::class.java)
What am I missing here??

The culprit is here:
val result = client.call("login", database, login, password)
return Single.just(result as Int)
The call to generate the result is executed, when setting up the Rx chain, which happens on the main thread. You have to make sure that the network-call is done when actually subscribing (on io()). One solution could be to return a Single.fromCallable:
return Single.fromCallable { client.call("login", database, login, password) as Int }
