Maybe (RxJava Javadoc 3.0.0-RC4)

java.lang.Object
- io.reactivex.rxjava3.core.Maybe<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the value type

All Implemented Interfaces:

MaybeSource<T>

Direct Known Subclasses:

MaybeSubject
```
public abstract class Maybe<T>
extends Object
implements MaybeSource<T>
```
The Maybe class represents a deferred computation and emission of a single value, no value at all or an exception.
The Maybe class implements the MaybeSource base interface and the default consumer type it interacts with is the MaybeObserver via the subscribe(MaybeObserver) method.
The Maybe operates with the following sequential protocol:
```
 onSubscribe (onSuccess | onError | onComplete)?
 
```
Note that onSuccess, onError and onComplete are mutually exclusive events; unlike Observable, onSuccess is never followed by onError or onComplete.
Like Observable, a running Maybe can be stopped through the Disposable instance provided to consumers through MaybeObserver.onSubscribe(io.reactivex.rxjava3.disposables.Disposable).
Like an Observable, a Maybe is lazy, can be either "hot" or "cold", synchronous or asynchronous. Maybe instances returned by the methods of this class are cold and there is a standard hot implementation in the form of a subject: MaybeSubject.
The documentation for this class makes use of marble diagrams. The following legend explains these diagrams:

See Flowable or Observable for the implementation of the Reactive Pattern for a stream or vector of values.
Example:
```
 Disposable d = Maybe.just("Hello World")
 .delay(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS, Schedulers.io())
 .subscribeWith(new DisposableMaybeObserver<String>() {
 @Override
 public void onStart() {
 System.out.println("Started");
 }

 @Override
 public void onSuccess(String value) {
 System.out.println("Success: " + value);
 }

 @Override
 public void onError(Throwable error) {
 error.printStackTrace();
 }

 @Override
 public void onComplete() {
 System.out.println("Done!");
 }
 });
 
 Thread.sleep(5000);
 
 d.dispose();
 
```
Note that by design, subscriptions via subscribe(MaybeObserver) can't be disposed from the outside (hence the void return of the subscribe(MaybeObserver) method) and it is the responsibility of the implementor of the MaybeObserver to allow this to happen. RxJava supports such usage with the standard DisposableMaybeObserver instance. For convenience, the subscribeWith(MaybeObserver) method is provided as well to allow working with a MaybeObserver (or subclass) instance to be applied with in a fluent manner (such as in the example above).

public static <T> Flowable<T> concatEager(Iterable<? extends MaybeSource<? extends T>> sources)
```
 Concatenates a sequence of MaybeSources eagerly into a single stream of values.
 Eager concatenation means that once a subscriber subscribes, this operator subscribes to all of the source MaybeSources. The operator buffers the values emitted by these MaybeSources and then drains them in order, each one after the previous one completes.

public static <T> Flowable<T> concatEager(Publisher<? extends MaybeSource<? extends T>> sources)
```
 Concatenates a Publisher sequence of MaybeSources eagerly into a single stream of values.
 Eager concatenation means that once a subscriber subscribes, this operator subscribes to all of the emitted source Publishers as they are observed. The operator buffers the values emitted by these Publishers and then drains them in order, each one after the previous one completes.
 
 Backpressure:
 
 Backpressure is honored towards the downstream and the outer Publisher is expected to support backpressure. Violating this assumption, the operator will signal MissingBackpressureException.

 This method does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 T - the value type
 
 Parameters:
 
 sources - a sequence of Publishers that need to be eagerly concatenated

 - create
```
@CheckReturnValue
 @NonNull
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public static <T> Maybe<T> create(MaybeOnSubscribe<T> onSubscribe)
```
 Provides an API (via a cold Maybe) that bridges the reactive world with the callback-style world.
 Example:
```
 Maybe.<Event>create(emitter -> {
 Callback listener = new Callback() {
 @Override
 public void onEvent(Event e) {
 if (e.isNothing()) {
 emitter.onComplete();
 } else {
 emitter.onSuccess(e);
 }
 }

 @Override
 public void onFailure(Exception e) {
 emitter.onError(e);
 }
 };

 AutoCloseable c = api.someMethod(listener);

 emitter.setCancellable(c::close);

 });
 
```
 Whenever a MaybeObserver subscribes to the returned Maybe, the provided MaybeOnSubscribe callback is invoked with a fresh instance of a MaybeEmitter that will interact only with that specific MaybeObserver. If this MaybeObserver disposes the flow (making MaybeEmitter.isDisposed() return true), other observers subscribed to the same returned Maybe are not affected.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 create does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 Type Parameters:
 
 T - the value type
 
 Parameters:
 
 onSubscribe - the emitter that is called when a MaybeObserver subscribes to the returned Maybe
 
 Returns:

public static <T> Maybe<T> fromAction(Action run)
```
 Returns a Maybe instance that runs the given Action for each subscriber and emits either its exception or simply completes.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 fromAction does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Error handling:
 
 If the Action throws an exception, the respective Throwable is delivered to the downstream via MaybeObserver.onError(Throwable), except when the downstream has disposed this Maybe source. In this latter case, the Throwable is delivered to the global error handler via RxJavaPlugins.onError(Throwable) as an UndeliverableException.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 T - the target type

```
@CheckReturnValue
 @NonNull
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public static <T> Maybe<T> fromCallable(@NonNull Callable<? extends T> callable)
```
 Returns a Maybe that invokes the given Callable for each individual MaybeObserver that subscribes and emits the resulting non-null item via onSuccess while considering a null result from the Callable as indication for valueless completion via onComplete.
 This operator allows you to defer the execution of the given Callable until a MaybeObserver subscribes to the returned Maybe. In other terms, this source operator evaluates the given Callable "lazily".
 Note that the null handling of this operator differs from the similar source operators in the other base reactive classes. Those operators signal a NullPointerException if the value returned by their Callable is null while this fromCallable considers it to indicate the returned Maybe is empty.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 fromCallable does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Error handling:
 
 Any non-fatal exception thrown by Callable.call() will be forwarded to onError, except if the MaybeObserver disposed the subscription in the meantime. In this latter case, the exception is forwarded to the global error handler via RxJavaPlugins.onError(Throwable) wrapped into a UndeliverableException. Fatal exceptions are rethrown and usually will end up in the executing thread's Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler.uncaughtException(Thread, Throwable) handler.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 T - the type of the item emitted by the Maybe.
 
 Parameters:
 
 callable - a Callable instance whose execution should be deferred and performed for each individual MaybeObserver that subscribes to the returned Maybe.
 
 Returns:
 
 a new Maybe instance

@CheckReturnValue
 @NonNull
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public static <T> Maybe<T> fromFuture(Future<? extends T> future)
```
 Converts a Future into a Maybe, treating a null result as an indication of emptiness.
 
 You can convert any object that supports the Future interface into a Maybe that emits the return value of the Future.get() method of that object, by passing the object into the from method.
 Important note: This Maybe is blocking; you cannot dispose it.
 Unlike 1.x, disposing the Maybe won't cancel the future. If necessary, one can use composition to achieve the cancellation effect: futureMaybe.doOnDispose(() -> future.cancel(true));.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 fromFuture does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 T - the type of object that the Future returns, and also the type of item to be emitted by the resulting Maybe
 
 Parameters:
 
 future - the source Future
 
 Returns:
 
 a Maybe that emits the item from the source Future

```
 Converts a Future into a Maybe, with a timeout on the Future.
 
 You can convert any object that supports the Future interface into a Maybe that emits the return value of the Future.get() method of that object, by passing the object into the fromFuture method.
 Unlike 1.x, disposing the Maybe won't cancel the future. If necessary, one can use composition to achieve the cancellation effect: futureMaybe.doOnCancel(() -> future.cancel(true));.
 Important note: This Maybe is blocking on the thread it gets subscribed on; you cannot dispose it.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 fromFuture does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 T - the type of object that the Future returns, and also the type of item to be emitted by the resulting Maybe
 
 Parameters:
 
 future - the source Future
 
 timeout - the maximum time to wait before calling get
 
 unit - the TimeUnit of the timeout argument
 
 Returns:
 
 a Maybe that emits the item from the source Future

In this latter case, the exception is forwarded to the global error handler via RxJavaPlugins.onError(Throwable) wrapped into a UndeliverableException. Fatal exceptions are rethrown and usually will end up in the executing thread's Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler.uncaughtException(Thread, Throwable) handler.

If more than one MaybeSource signals an error, the resulting Flowable may terminate with the first one's error or, depending on the concurrency of the sources, may terminate with a CompositeException containing two or more of the various error signals. Throwables that didn't make into the composite will be sent (individually) to the global error handler via RxJavaPlugins.onError(Throwable) method as UndeliverableException errors. Similarly, Throwables signaled by source(s) after the returned Flowable has been cancelled or terminated with a (composite) error will be sent to the same global error handler. Use mergeDelayError(Iterable) to merge sources and terminate only when all source MaybeSources have completed or failed with an error.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 T - the common and resulting value type
 
 Parameters:
 
 sources - the Iterable sequence of MaybeSource sources

public static <T> Maybe<T> merge(MaybeSource<? extends MaybeSource<? extends T>> source)
```
 Flattens a MaybeSource that emits a MaybeSource into a single MaybeSource that emits the item emitted by the nested MaybeSource, without any transformation.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 merge does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Error handling:
 
 The resulting Maybe emits the outer source's or the inner MaybeSource's Throwable as is. Unlike the other merge() operators, this operator won't and can't produce a CompositeException because there is only one possibility for the outer or the inner MaybeSource to emit an onError signal. Therefore, there is no need for a mergeDelayError(MaybeSource<MaybeSource<T>>) operator.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 T - the value type of the sources and the output
 
 Parameters:
 
 source - a MaybeSource that emits a MaybeSource
 
 Returns:
 
 a Maybe that emits the item that is the result of flattening the MaybeSource emitted by source

```
 Constructs a Maybe that creates a dependent resource object which is disposed of just before termination if you have set disposeEagerly to true and a downstream dispose() does not occur before termination. Otherwise resource disposal will occur on call to dispose().

 Parameters:
 
 resourceSupplier - the factory function to create a resource object that depends on the Maybe
 
 sourceSupplier - the factory function to create a MaybeSource
 
 resourceDisposer - the function that will dispose of the resource
 
 eager - If true then resource disposal will happen either on a dispose() call before the upstream is disposed or just before the emission of a terminal event (onSuccess, onComplete or onError). If false the resource disposal will happen either on a dispose() call after the upstream is disposed or just after the emission of a terminal event (onSuccess, onComplete or onError).

 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public static <T,R> Maybe<R> zip(Iterable<? extends MaybeSource<? extends T>> sources,
 Function<? super Object[],? extends R> zipper)
```
 Returns a Maybe that emits the results of a specified combiner function applied to combinations of items emitted, in sequence, by an Iterable of other MaybeSources.
 Note on method signature: since Java doesn't allow creating a generic array with new T[], the implementation of this operator has to create an Object[] instead. Unfortunately, a Function<Integer[], R> passed to the method would trigger a ClassCastException.
 
 This operator terminates eagerly if any of the source MaybeSources signal an onError or onComplete. This also means it is possible some sources may not get subscribed to at all.
 
 Scheduler:

 Type Parameters:
 
 T - the common value type
 
 R - the zipped result type
 
 Parameters:

 zip does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 T1 - the value type of the first source
 
 T2 - the value type of the second source
 
 R - the zipped result type
 
 Parameters:
 
 source1 - the first source MaybeSource
 
 source2 - a second source MaybeSource
 
 zipper - a function that, when applied to an item emitted by each of the source MaybeSources, results in an item that will be emitted by the resulting Maybe

 @NonNull
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public static <T,R> Maybe<R> zipArray(Function<? super Object[],? extends R> zipper,
 MaybeSource<? extends T>... sources)
```
 Returns a Maybe that emits the results of a specified combiner function applied to combinations of items emitted, in sequence, by an array of other MaybeSources.
 Note on method signature: since Java doesn't allow creating a generic array with new T[], the implementation of this operator has to create an Object[] instead. Unfortunately, a Function<Integer[], R> passed to the method would trigger a ClassCastException.
 
 This operator terminates eagerly if any of the source MaybeSources signal an onError or onComplete. This also means it is possible some sources may not get subscribed to at all.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 zipArray does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 T - the common element type
 
 R - the result type
 
 Parameters:
 
 sources - an array of source MaybeSources
 
 zipper - a function that, when applied to an item emitted by each of the source MaybeSources, results in an item that will be emitted by the resulting MaybeSource

```
 Mirrors the MaybeSource (current or provided) that first signals an event.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 ambWith does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Parameters:
 
 other - a MaybeSource competing to react first. A subscription to this provided source will occur after subscribing to the current source.

 - blockingGet
```
@CheckReturnValue
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public final T blockingGet()
```
 Waits in a blocking fashion until the current Maybe signals a success value (which is returned), null if completed or an exception (which is propagated).
 
 Scheduler:
 
 blockingGet does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Error handling:
 
 If the source signals an error, the operator wraps a checked Exception into RuntimeException and throws that. Otherwise, RuntimeExceptions and Errors are rethrown as they are.
 
 Returns:
 
 the success value
 - blockingGet
```
@CheckReturnValue
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public final T blockingGet(T defaultValue)
```
 Waits in a blocking fashion until the current Maybe signals a success value (which is returned), defaultValue if completed or an exception (which is propagated).
 
 Scheduler:
 
 blockingGet does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Error handling:
 
 If the source signals an error, the operator wraps a checked Exception into RuntimeException and throws that. Otherwise, RuntimeExceptions and Errors are rethrown as they are.
 
 Parameters:
 
 defaultValue - the default item to return if this Maybe is empty
 
 Returns:
 
 the success value
 - cache
```
@CheckReturnValue
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public final Maybe<T> cache()
```
 Returns a Maybe that subscribes to this Maybe lazily, caches its event and replays it, to all the downstream subscribers.
 
 The operator subscribes only when the first downstream subscriber subscribes and maintains a single subscription towards this Maybe.
 Note: You sacrifice the ability to dispose the origin when you use the cache.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 cache does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Returns:
 
 a Maybe that, when first subscribed to, caches all of its items and notifications for the benefit of subsequent subscribers

 - cast
```
@CheckReturnValue
 @NonNull
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")

 Scheduler:
 
 cast does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 U - the target type
 
 Parameters:
 
 clazz - the type token to use for casting the success result from the current Maybe
 
 Returns:

 - compose
```
@CheckReturnValue
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public final <R> Maybe<R> compose(MaybeTransformer<? super T,? extends R> transformer)
```
 Transform a Maybe by applying a particular Transformer function to it.
 This method operates on the Maybe itself whereas lift(io.reactivex.rxjava3.core.MaybeOperator<? extends R, ? super T>) operates on the Maybe's MaybeObservers.
 If the operator you are creating is designed to act on the individual item emitted by a Maybe, use lift(io.reactivex.rxjava3.core.MaybeOperator<? extends R, ? super T>). If your operator is designed to transform the source Maybe as a whole (for instance, by applying a particular set of existing RxJava operators to it) use compose.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 compose does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 R - the value type of the Maybe returned by the transformer function
 
 Parameters:
 
 transformer - the transformer function, not null
 
 Returns:
 
 a Maybe, transformed by the transformer function

public final <R> Maybe<R> lift(MaybeOperator<? extends R,? super T> lift)
```
 This method requires advanced knowledge about building operators, please consider other standard composition methods first; Returns a Maybe which, when subscribed to, invokes the apply(MaybeObserver) method of the provided MaybeOperator for each individual downstream Maybe and allows the insertion of a custom operator by accessing the downstream's MaybeObserver during this subscription phase and providing a new MaybeObserver, containing the custom operator's intended business logic, that will be used in the subscription process going further upstream.
 Generally, such a new MaybeObserver will wrap the downstream's MaybeObserver and forwards the onSuccess, onError and onComplete events from the upstream directly or according to the emission pattern the custom operator's business logic requires. In addition, such operator can intercept the flow control calls of dispose and isDisposed that would have traveled upstream and perform additional actions depending on the same business logic requirements.
 Example:
```
 // Step 1: Create the consumer type that will be returned by the MaybeOperator.apply():
 
 public final class CustomMaybeObserver<T> implements MaybeObserver<T>, Disposable {

 // The downstream's MaybeObserver that will receive the onXXX events
 final MaybeObserver<? super String> downstream;

 // The connection to the upstream source that will call this class' onXXX methods
 Disposable upstream;

 // The constructor takes the downstream subscriber and usually any other parameters
 public CustomMaybeObserver(MaybeObserver<? super String> downstream) {
 this.downstream = downstream;
 }

 // In the subscription phase, the upstream sends a Disposable to this class
 // and subsequently this class has to send a Disposable to the downstream.
 // Note that relaying the upstream's Disposable directly is not allowed in RxJava
 @Override
 public void onSubscribe(Disposable d) {
 if (upstream != null) {
 d.dispose();
 } else {
 upstream = d;
 downstream.onSubscribe(this);
 }
 }

 // The upstream calls this with the next item and the implementation's
 // responsibility is to emit an item to the downstream based on the intended
 // business logic, or if it can't do so for the particular item,
 // request more from the upstream
 @Override
 public void onSuccess(T item) {
 String str = item.toString();
 if (str.length() < 2) {
 downstream.onSuccess(str);
 } else {
 // Maybe is usually expected to produce one of the onXXX events
 downstream.onComplete();
 }
 }

 // Some operators may handle the upstream's error while others
 // could just forward it to the downstream.
 @Override
 public void onError(Throwable throwable) {
 downstream.onError(throwable);
 }

 // When the upstream completes, usually the downstream should complete as well.
 @Override
 public void onComplete() {
 downstream.onComplete();
 }

 // Some operators may use their own resources which should be cleaned up if
 // the downstream disposes the flow before it completed. Operators without
 // resources can simply forward the dispose to the upstream.
 // In some cases, a disposed flag may be set by this method so that other parts
 // of this class may detect the dispose and stop sending events
 // to the downstream.
 @Override
 public void dispose() {
 upstream.dispose();
 }

 // Some operators may simply forward the call to the upstream while others
 // can return the disposed flag set in dispose().
 @Override
 public boolean isDisposed() {
 return upstream.isDisposed();
 }
 }

 // Step 2: Create a class that implements the MaybeOperator interface and
 // returns the custom consumer type from above in its apply() method.
 // Such class may define additional parameters to be submitted to
 // the custom consumer type.

 final class CustomMaybeOperator<T> implements MaybeOperator<String> {
 @Override
 public MaybeObserver<? super String> apply(MaybeObserver<? super T> upstream) {
 return new CustomMaybeObserver<T>(upstream);
 }
 }

 // Step 3: Apply the custom operator via lift() in a flow by creating an instance of it
 // or reusing an existing one.

 Maybe.just(5)
 .lift(new CustomMaybeOperator<Integer>())
 .test()
 .assertResult("5");

 Maybe.just(15)
 .lift(new CustomMaybeOperator<Integer>())
 .test()
 .assertResult();
 
```
 Creating custom operators can be complicated and it is recommended one consults the RxJava wiki: Writing operators page about the tools, requirements, rules, considerations and pitfalls of implementing them.
 Note that implementing custom operators via this lift() method adds slightly more overhead by requiring an additional allocation and indirection per assembled flows. Instead, extending the abstract Maybe class and creating a MaybeTransformer with it is recommended.
 Note also that it is not possible to stop the subscription phase in lift() as the apply() method requires a non-null MaybeObserver instance to be returned, which is then unconditionally subscribed to the upstream Maybe. For example, if the operator decided there is no reason to subscribe to the upstream source because of some optimization possibility or a failure to prepare the operator, it still has to return a MaybeObserver that should immediately dispose the upstream's Disposable in its onSubscribe method. Again, using a MaybeTransformer and extending the Maybe is a better option as subscribeActual(io.reactivex.rxjava3.core.MaybeObserver<? super T>) can decide to not subscribe to its upstream after all.

 Type Parameters:
 
 R - the output value type

public final Flowable<T> repeatUntil(BooleanSupplier stop)
```
 Returns a Flowable that repeats the sequence of items emitted by the source Maybe until the provided stop function returns true.
 
 Backpressure:
 
 This operator honors downstream backpressure.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 repeatUntil does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Parameters:
 
 stop - a boolean supplier that is called when the current Flowable completes and unless it returns false, the current Flowable is resubscribed
 
 Returns:
 
 the new Flowable instance
 
 Throws:
 
 NullPointerException - if stop is null

@BackpressureSupport(value=FULL)
 @CheckReturnValue
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public final Flowable<T> repeatWhen(Function<? super Flowable<Object>,? extends Publisher<?>> handler)
```
 Returns a Flowable that emits the same values as the source Publisher with the exception of an onComplete. An onComplete notification from the source will result in the emission of a void item to the Publisher provided as an argument to the notificationHandler function. If that Publisher calls onComplete or onError then repeatWhen will call onComplete or onError on the child subscription. Otherwise, this Publisher will resubscribe to the source Publisher.
 
 Backpressure:
 
 The operator honors downstream backpressure and expects the source Publisher to honor backpressure as well. If this expectation is violated, the operator may throw an IllegalStateException.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 repeatWhen does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Parameters:
 
 handler - receives a Publisher of notifications with which a user can complete or error, aborting the repeat.
 
 Returns:
 
 the source Publisher modified with repeat logic

 - retry
```
@CheckReturnValue
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public final Maybe<T> retry()
```
 Returns a Maybe that mirrors the source Maybe, resubscribing to it if it calls onError (infinite retry count).
 
 If the source Maybe calls MaybeObserver.onError(java.lang.Throwable), this method will resubscribe to the source Maybe rather than propagating the onError call.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 retry does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Returns:
 
 the new Maybe instance

@CheckReturnValue
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public final Maybe<T> retry(BiPredicate<? super Integer,? super Throwable> predicate)
```
 Returns a Maybe that mirrors the source Maybe, resubscribing to it if it calls onError and the predicate returns true for that specific exception and retry count.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 retry does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Parameters:
 
 predicate - the predicate that determines if a resubscription may happen in case of a specific exception and retry count
 
 Returns:
 
 the new Maybe instance

@CheckReturnValue
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public final Maybe<T> retry(long count)
```
 Returns a Maybe that mirrors the source Maybe, resubscribing to it if it calls onError up to a specified number of retries.
 
 If the source Maybe calls MaybeObserver.onError(java.lang.Throwable), this method will resubscribe to the source Maybe for a maximum of count resubscriptions rather than propagating the onError call.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 retry does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Parameters:
 
 count - the number of times to resubscribe if the current Maybe fails
 
 Returns:
 
 the new Maybe instance

```
@CheckReturnValue
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public final Maybe<T> retry(long times,
 Predicate<? super Throwable> predicate)
```
 Retries at most times or until the predicate returns false, whichever happens first.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 retry does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Parameters:
 
 times - the number of times to resubscribe if the current Maybe fails
 
 predicate - the predicate called with the failure Throwable and should return true to trigger a retry.
 
 Returns:
 
 the new Maybe instance
 - retry
```
@CheckReturnValue
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public final Maybe<T> retry(Predicate<? super Throwable> predicate)
```
 Retries the current Maybe if it fails and the predicate returns true.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 retry does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Parameters:
 
 predicate - the predicate that receives the failure Throwable and should return true to trigger a retry.
 
 Returns:
 
 the new Maybe instance
 - retryUntil
```
@CheckReturnValue
 @NonNull
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public final Maybe<T> retryUntil(BooleanSupplier stop)
```
 Retries until the given stop function returns true.
 
 Scheduler:
 
 retryUntil does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.
 
 Parameters:
 
 stop - the function that should return true to stop retrying
 
 Returns:
 
 the new Maybe instance
 - retryWhen
```
@CheckReturnValue
 @SchedulerSupport(value="none")
public final Maybe<T> retryWhen(Function<? super Flowable<Throwable>,? extends Publisher<?>> handler)
```
 Returns a Maybe that emits the same values as the source Maybe with the exception of an onError. An onError notification from the source will result in the emission of a Throwable item to the Publisher provided as an argument to the notificationHandler function. If that Publisher calls onComplete or onError then retry will call onComplete or onError on the child subscription. Otherwise, this Publisher will resubscribe to the source Publisher.
 
 Example: This retries 3 times, each time incrementing the number of seconds it waits.
```
 Maybe.create((MaybeEmitter<? super String> s) -> {
 System.out.println("subscribing");
 s.onError(new RuntimeException("always fails"));
 }, BackpressureStrategy.BUFFER).retryWhen(attempts -> {
 return attempts.zipWith(Publisher.range(1, 3), (n, i) -> i).flatMap(i -> {
 System.out.println("delay retry by " + i + " second(s)");
 return Flowable.timer(i, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
 });
 }).blockingForEach(System.out::println);
 
```
 Output is:
```
 
 subscribing
 delay retry by 1 second(s)
 subscribing
 delay retry by 2 second(s)
 subscribing
 delay retry by 3 second(s)
 subscribing
 
```
 Note that the inner Publisher returned by the handler function should signal either onNext, onError or onComplete in response to the received Throwable to indicate the operator should retry or terminate. If the upstream to the operator is asynchronous, signalling onNext followed by onComplete immediately may result in the sequence to be completed immediately. Similarly, if this inner Publisher signals onError or onComplete while the upstream is active, the sequence is terminated with the same signal immediately.
 The following example demonstrates how to retry an asynchronous source with a delay:
```
 Maybe.timer(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
 .doOnSubscribe(s -> System.out.println("subscribing"))
 .map(v -> { throw new RuntimeException(); })
 .retryWhen(errors -> {
 AtomicInteger counter = new AtomicInteger();
 return errors
 .takeWhile(e -> counter.getAndIncrement() != 3)
 .flatMap(e -> {
 System.out.println("delay retry by " + counter.get() + " second(s)");
 return Flowable.timer(counter.get(), TimeUnit.SECONDS);
 });
 })
 .blockingGet();
 
```
