Can android JobScheduler work as a replacement of RxJava?

This is a typical network call using rxjava (and retrofit). Can JobScheduler be used to replace this? If yes, how? Above all, is it recommended?

    Observable<GenericResponse> observable = someInterface.someMethod();
    observable.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io()).observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
            .subscribe(new Observer<GenericResponse>() {
                @Override
                public void onCompleted() {
                    Log.d(TAG, "Success");
                }

                @Override
                public void onError(Throwable e) {
                    Log.e(TAG, "Error: ", e);
                }

                @Override
                public void onNext(GenericResponse genericResponse) {
                    Log.d(TAG, "onNext");
                }
            });

Big No. The JobScheduler API schedules job which will be executed only when certain conditions that you define is met.

Short answer: No

Long: The JobScheduler API aims on creating background processes under some conditions (charging phone, network type etc...) usually when the phone is switched off. RxJava is a reactive library that can be used WITH JobScheduler -if you like - and anywhere in your code to facilitate how things are happening.
