SQLBrite adds reactivity to SQLite (https://github.com/square/sqlbrite)

But in general I rely on RxJava to provide fine grained notifications. For example (psudeocode):

    someUserQueryThatReturnsObservable()
      .map(user->user.firstName)
      .distinct()
      .subscribe(newFirstName->newFirstName)

It's messy because you end up having to repeat everything after map for every property, not really an ideal solution
