How to do the filter operator from a list of a list in rxjava

Good afternoon. So I got a list with a list inside like this:

    {
  "category" : [
    {
      "name": "Bathroom",
      "products": [
        {
          "name": "Sink01"
        },
        {
          "name": "Shower01"
        }
      ]
    },{
      "name": "Kitchen",
      "products": [
        {
          "name": "Table"
        },
        {
          "name": "Stove"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

So if the user for example selects the category "Bathroom" I want to use rxjava to filter the list of products from the category "Bathroom" and if they select the category "Kitchen" I want to get the list of products from the category "Kitchen".

This is what I've tried so far:

    fun getProducts(category: Category): Single<MutableList<Product>> {
         return service.getProductsByCategories().filter{ response ->
             response.categoriesList.forEach {
                if (it.name == category.name) {
                  category.products
                }
             }
         }
    }

Right now I am getting "Typed mismatch. Requieres: Single<MutableList<Product>>, Found: Maybe<MyResponse!>!"

Why is this happening? What is the correct way to filter?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings

You can unroll the getProductsByCategories response, filter for the right category, map in the product list, then convert it to the desired output type:

getProductsByCategories()
.flattenAsObservable { it }
.filter { it.name == category.name }
.map { it.products }
.single( ArrayList<Product>() )
