Exponential Backoff using Rx.retryWhen() I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS HAS HIGH SEO I JUST FORKED IT TO SAVE A COPY

ExponentialBackoff

// retries up to 3 times while exponentially backing off with each retry
                .retryWhen(errors ->
                        errors
                                .zipWith(
                                        Observable.range(1, MAX_RETRIES), (n, i) -> i
                                )
                                .flatMap(
                                        retryCount -> Observable.timer((long) Math.pow(4, retryCount), TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                                )
                )

You guys should try something like this, the example retry 3 times(With a delay of one second) after this return the error:

static final int retrycount=4;

///...
.retryWhen(errors->errors
.zipWith(Observable.range(1,retrycount),(err,attempt)->
attempt<retrycount?
Observable.timer(1,TimeUnit.SECONDS):
Observable.error(err))
.flatMap(x->x)
)

//Tested and running at 100%
