When to dispose RxJava2 Disposable in ViewModel?

Question

I'm using ViewModel from Android Architecture Components in my app. In the ViewModel, I'm using RxJava2 subscription and I keep Disposable object after I subscribe. Before, when I did this in Activity, I was used to dispose the Disposable in onDestroy() - to avoid memory leaks:

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    disposable.dispose();
    super.onDestroy();
}

When and how should I dispose it in ViewModel? Do I actually need to do that?

Answer 1

with onCleared method

@Override
protected void onCleared () {
    disposable.dispose();
    super.onCleared ();
}
