Retrofit2 + RxJava2 Global handling errors

How to check a network connection and is the server available for all requests, using retrofit2 and rxjava2?

I can check the “server available” by sending a request to my server url, but can I check the network connection by sending a request to google.com or to another “good” website?

I have more api requests, for example one of this:

compositeDisposable.add(RetrofitClient
            .getApi()
            .somemethod()
            .map(response -> {
                Data data = null;
                if (response.isSuccessful()) {
                    data = response.body();
                } else {
                    data = new Data();
                    data.setResponseCode(response.code())
                }
                return data;
            })
            .onErrorReturnItem(new Data())
            .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
            .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
            .subscribe(this::checkResponse());

How to check these errors, which I wrote, for all requests in order not to duplicate the code? Thanks.

You could use lift method which allow you to implement your own operator for your case ApiErrorOperator

And use it as follow : 

@Override
  public @NonNull Observable<List<Category>> fetchCategories() {
    return this.service
      .categories()
      .lift(apiErrorOperator())
      .map(CategoriesEnvelope::categories)
      .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io());
  }

Call RxJavaPlugins.setErrorHandler in onCreate of your application class. For example:

    RxJavaPlugins.setErrorHandler(e -> {
        if ((e instanceof IOException) || (e instanceof SocketException)) {
            // handle exception
            return;
        }
    });
