Awesome! It works! Very useful, million thanks

Thanks

Thanks:+1:

Thanks

In case you get the Exception cannot invoke observeforever on a background thread you probably need to add this:

In your build.gradle (Module):

androidTestImplementation "androidx.arch.core:core-testing:2.1.0"

In your Test class

For Java:

@Rule
public InstantTaskExecutorRule instantTaskExecutorRule = new InstantTaskExecutorRule();

For Kotlin:

@get:Rule
val instantTaskExecutorRule = InstantTaskExecutorRule()
