UI Thread and Schedulers

Always make sure to update the UI on the RxApp.MainThreadScheduler to ensure UI changes happen on the UI thread. In practice, this typically means making sure to update view models on the main thread scheduler.

Do

FetchStuffAsync()
  .ObserveOn(RxApp.MainThreadScheduler)
  .Subscribe(x => this.SomeViewModelProperty = x);

Better

Even better, pass the scheduler to the asynchronous operation - this is often necessary for more complex tasks.

FetchStuffAsync(RxApp.MainThreadScheduler)
  .Subscribe(x => this.SomeViewModelProperty = x);

Don't

FetchStuffAsync()
  .Subscribe(x => this.SomeViewModelProperty = x);
