Would it be appropriate to use Singles for RxAndroidBle reads and writes?

Question

I'm still learning the Reactive paradigm, and just came across the Single<T> and SingleSubscriber<T> classes. It strikes me that these might be appropriate for "one-time" operations like reading or writing a control characteristic via BLE. Does this make sense? What are the pros and cons? Would it require implementation by the authors of RxAndroidBle? Any explanation & discussion appreciated.

Answer 1

When the RxAndroidBle library was started there were no Single nor Completable classes in the RxJava library. These constructs would fit well in the RxAndroidBle and are planned but it would need a bit of work from the library's author and would change the API - a version bump to 2.0.0 would be required.
