Chaining requests in Retrofit + RxJava

I don’t think using map operator is the best way to go with things like storing the result of the api call.

What I like to do is to separate those things inside doOnNext operators. So your example would be something like this:

apiService.A()
        .doOnNext(modelA -> db.store(modelA))
        .flatMap(modelA -> apiService.B())
        .doOnNext(modelB -> db.store(modelB));

(add necessary observeOn and subscribeOn yourself, exactly like you need them)
