Usage

First create a service which returns a RxBinder instance.

public class DummyService extends Service {

    private RxBinder<DummyService> binder = new RxBinder<DummyService>() {
        @NonNull
        @Override
        public DummyService getService() {
            return DummyService.this;
        }
    };
    
    ...

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return binder;
    }
}

Then to bind the service use this code.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private Disposable disposable;
    private DummyService dummyService;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    
        ...

        disposable = RxServiceConnection.bind(this, new Intent(this, DummyService.class)) // bind the service
                .subscribe(service -> {
		            dummyService = service
			    onServiceConnected();
		});
                
    }
    
    private void onServiceConnected() {
        // use the service
        dummyService.test()
                .subscribe(long -> {
                           // do something with data
                });
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        disposable.dispose(); // service will be unbound if you dispose the observable
    }
}

To unbind the service simply dispose the observable
