MaybeSubject (RxJava Javadoc 3.1.12)

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

Type Parameters:

T - the value type received and emitted

All Implemented Interfaces:

MaybeObserver<T>, MaybeSource<T>
```
public final class MaybeSubject<T>
extends Maybe<T>
implements MaybeObserver<T>
```
Represents a hot Maybe-like source and consumer of events similar to Subjects.

This subject does not have a public constructor by design; a new non-terminated instance of this MaybeSubject can be created via the create() method.
Since the MaybeSubject is conceptionally derived from the Processor type in the Reactive Streams specification, nulls are not allowed (Rule 2.13) as parameters to onSuccess(Object) and onError(Throwable). Such calls will result in a NullPointerException being thrown and the subject's state is not changed.
Since a MaybeSubject is a Maybe, calling onSuccess, onError or onComplete will move this MaybeSubject into its terminal state atomically.
All methods are thread safe. Calling onSuccess(Object) or onComplete() multiple times has no effect. Calling onError(Throwable) multiple times relays the Throwable to the RxJavaPlugins.onError(Throwable) global error handler.
Even though MaybeSubject implements the MaybeObserver interface, calling onSubscribe is not required (Rule 2.12) if the subject is used as a standalone source. However, calling onSubscribe after the MaybeSubject reached its terminal state will result in the given Disposable being disposed immediately.
This MaybeSubject supports the standard state-peeking methods hasComplete(), hasThrowable(), getThrowable() and hasObservers() as well as means to read any success item in a non-blocking and thread-safe manner via hasValue() and getValue().
The MaybeSubject does not support clearing its cached onSuccess value.

Scheduler:

MaybeSubject does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler and the MaybeObservers get notified on the thread where the terminating onSuccess, onError or onComplete methods were invoked.

Error handling:

When the onError(Throwable) is called, the MaybeSubject enters into a terminal state and emits the same Throwable instance to the last set of MaybeObservers. During this emission, if one or more MaybeObservers dispose their respective Disposables, the Throwable is delivered to the global error handler via RxJavaPlugins.onError(Throwable) (multiple times if multiple MaybeObservers cancel at once). If there were no MaybeObservers subscribed to this MaybeSubject when the onError() was called, the global error handler is not invoked.

Example usage:
```
 MaybeSubject<Integer> subject1 = MaybeSubject.create();

 TestObserver<Integer> to1 = subject1.test();

 // MaybeSubjects are empty by default
 to1.assertEmpty();

 subject1.onSuccess(1);

 // onSuccess is a terminal event with MaybeSubjects
 // TestObserver converts onSuccess into onNext + onComplete
 to1.assertResult(1);

 TestObserver<Integer> to2 = subject1.test();

 // late Observers receive the terminal signal (onSuccess) too
 to2.assertResult(1);

 // -----------------------------------------------------

 MaybeSubject<Integer> subject2 = MaybeSubject.create();

 TestObserver<Integer> to3 = subject2.test();

 subject2.onComplete();

 // a completed MaybeSubject completes its MaybeObservers
 to3.assertResult();

 TestObserver<Integer> to4 = subject1.test();

 // late Observers receive the terminal signal (onComplete) too
 to4.assertResult();
 
```

```
@CheckReturnValue
 @NonNull
public static <T> @NonNull MaybeSubject<T> create()
```
    Creates a fresh MaybeSubject.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the value type received and emitted
    
    Returns:
    
    the new MaybeSubject instance
  - onSubscribe
```
public void onSubscribe(Disposable d)
```
    Description copied from interface: MaybeObserver
    
    Provides the MaybeObserver with the means of cancelling (disposing) the connection (channel) with the Maybe in both synchronous (from within onSubscribe(Disposable) itself) and asynchronous manner.
    
    Specified by:
    
    onSubscribe in interface MaybeObserver<T>
    
    Parameters:
    
    d - the Disposable instance whose Disposable.dispose() can be called anytime to cancel the connection
  - onSuccess
```
public void onSuccess(T value)
```
    Description copied from interface: MaybeObserver
    
    Notifies the MaybeObserver with one item and that the Maybe has finished sending push-based notifications.
    The Maybe will not call this method if it calls MaybeObserver.onError(java.lang.Throwable).
    
    Specified by:
    
    onSuccess in interface MaybeObserver<T>
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the item emitted by the Maybe
