Constructor Detail

Observable

protected Observable(Observable.OnSubscribe<T> f)

Creates an Observable with a Function to execute when it is subscribed to.

Note: Use unsafeCreate(OnSubscribe) to create an Observable, instead of this constructor, unless you specifically have a need for inheritance.

Parameters:

f - Observable.OnSubscribe to be executed when subscribe(Subscriber) is called

Method Detail

create

@Deprecated
public static <T> Observable<T> create(Observable.OnSubscribe<T> f)

Deprecated. 1.2.7 - inherently unsafe, use the other create() methods for basic cases or see unsafeCreate(OnSubscribe) for advanced cases (such as custom operators)

Constructs an Observable in an unsafe manner, that is, unsubscription and backpressure handling is the responsibility of the OnSubscribe implementation.

Type Parameters:

T - the value type emitted

Parameters:

f - the callback to execute for each individual Subscriber that subscribes to the returned Observable

Returns:

the new Observable instance

See Also:

create(SyncOnSubscribe), create(AsyncOnSubscribe), create(Action1, rx.Emitter.BackpressureMode)

create

public static <T> Observable<T> create(Action1<Emitter<T>> emitter,
                                       Emitter.BackpressureMode backpressure)

Provides an API (via a cold Observable) that bridges the reactive world with the callback-style, generally non-backpressured world.

Example:

 Observable.<Event>create(emitter -> {
     Callback listener = new Callback() {
         @Override
         public void onEvent(Event e) {
             emitter.onNext(e);
             if (e.isLast()) {
                 emitter.onCompleted();
             }
         }

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

     AutoCloseable c = api.someMethod(listener);

     emitter.setCancellation(c::close);

 }, BackpressureMode.BUFFER);
 

You should call the Emitter's onNext, onError and onCompleted methods in a serialized fashion. The rest of its methods are thread-safe.

History: 1.2.7 - experimental

Type Parameters:

T - the element type

Parameters:

emitter - the emitter that is called when a Subscriber subscribes to the returned Observable

backpressure - the backpressure mode to apply if the downstream Subscriber doesn't request (fast) enough

Returns:

the new Observable instance

Since:

1.3

See Also:

Emitter, Emitter.BackpressureMode, Cancellable

unsafeCreate

public static <T> Observable<T> unsafeCreate(Observable.OnSubscribe<T> f)

Returns an Observable that executes the given OnSubscribe action for each individual Subscriber that subscribes; unsubscription and backpressure must be implemented manually.

Write the function you pass to create so that it behaves as an Observable: It should invoke the Subscriber's onNext, onError, and onCompleted methods appropriately.

A well-formed Observable must invoke either the Subscriber's onCompleted method exactly once or its onError method exactly once.

See Rx Design Guidelines (PDF) for detailed information.

Backpressure:

The OnSubscribe instance provided is responsible to be backpressure-aware or document the fact that the consumer of the returned Observable has to apply one of the onBackpressureXXX operators.

Scheduler:

unsafeCreate does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

History: 1.2.7 - experimental

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the items that this Observable emits

Parameters:

f - a function that accepts an Subscriber<T>, and invokes its onNext, onError, and onCompleted methods as appropriate

Returns:

an Observable that, when a Subscriber subscribes to it, will execute the specified function

Since:

1.3

create

public static <S,T> Observable<T> create(SyncOnSubscribe<S,T> syncOnSubscribe)

Returns an Observable that respects the back-pressure semantics. When the returned Observable is subscribed to it will initiate the given SyncOnSubscribe's life cycle for generating events.

Note: the SyncOnSubscribe provides a generic way to fulfill data by iterating over a (potentially stateful) function (e.g. reading data off of a channel, a parser, ). If your data comes directly from an asynchronous/potentially concurrent source then consider using the asynchronous overload.

See Rx Design Guidelines (PDF) for detailed information.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure and generates values on-demand (when requested).

Scheduler:

create does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the items that this Observable emits

S - the state type

Parameters:

syncOnSubscribe - an implementation of SyncOnSubscribe. There are many static creation methods on the class for convenience.

Returns:

an Observable that, when a Subscriber subscribes to it, will execute the specified function

Since:

1.2

create

@Beta
public static <S,T> Observable<T> create(AsyncOnSubscribe<S,T> asyncOnSubscribe)

Returns an Observable that respects the back-pressure semantics. When the returned Observable is subscribed to it will initiate the given AsyncOnSubscribe's life cycle for generating events.

Note: the AsyncOnSubscribe is useful for observable sources of data that are necessarily asynchronous (RPC, external services, etc). Typically most use cases can be solved with the synchronous overload.

See Rx Design Guidelines (PDF) for detailed information.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure and generates values on-demand (when requested).

Scheduler:

create does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the items that this Observable emits

S - the state type

Parameters:

asyncOnSubscribe - an implementation of AsyncOnSubscribe. There are many static creation methods on the class for convenience.

Returns:

an Observable that, when a Subscriber subscribes to it, will execute the specified function

lift

public final <R> Observable<R> lift(Observable.Operator<? extends R,? super T> operator)

This method requires advanced knowledge about building operators; please consider other standard composition methods first; Lifts a function to the current Observable and returns a new Observable that when subscribed to will pass the values of the current Observable through the Operator function.

In other words, this allows chaining Observers together on an Observable for acting on the values within the Observable.

observable.map(...).filter(...).take(5).lift(new OperatorA()).lift(new OperatorB(...)).subscribe()

If the operator you are creating is designed to act on the individual items emitted by a source Observable, use lift. If your operator is designed to transform the source Observable as a whole (for instance, by applying a particular set of existing RxJava operators to it) use compose(rx.Observable.Transformer<? super T, ? extends R>).

Backpressure:

The Operator instance provided is responsible to be backpressure-aware or document the fact that the consumer of the returned Observable has to apply one of the onBackpressureXXX operators.

Scheduler:

lift does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

R - the output value type

Parameters:

operator - the Operator that implements the Observable-operating function to be applied to the source Observable

Returns:

an Observable that is the result of applying the lifted Operator to the source Observable

See Also:

RxJava wiki: Implementing Your Own Operators

compose

public <R> Observable<R> compose(Observable.Transformer<? super T,? extends R> transformer)

Transform an Observable by applying a particular Transformer function to it.

This method operates on the Observable itself whereas lift(rx.Observable.Operator<? extends R, ? super T>) operates on the Observable's Subscribers or Observers.

If the operator you are creating is designed to act on the individual items emitted by a source Observable, use lift(rx.Observable.Operator<? extends R, ? super T>). If your operator is designed to transform the source Observable as a whole (for instance, by applying a particular set of existing RxJava operators to it) use compose.

Backpressure:

The operator itself doesn't interfere with the backpressure behavior which only depends on what kind of Observable the transformer returns.

Scheduler:

compose does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

R - the value type of the output Observable

Parameters:

transformer - implements the function that transforms the source Observable

Returns:

the source Observable, transformed by the transformer function

See Also:

RxJava wiki: Implementing Your Own Operators

to

public final <R> R to(Func1<? super Observable<T>,R> converter)

Calls the specified converter function during assembly time and returns its resulting value.

This allows fluent conversion to any other type.

Type Parameters:

R - the resulting object type

Parameters:

converter - the function that receives the current Observable instance and returns a value

Returns:

the value returned by the function

Since:

1.3

toSingle

public Single<T> toSingle()

Returns a Single that emits the single item emitted by the source Observable, if that Observable emits only a single item. If the source Observable emits more than one item or no items, notify of an IllegalArgumentException or NoSuchElementException respectively.

Backpressure:

The operator ignores backpressure on the source Observable and the returned Single does not have a notion of backpressure.

Scheduler:

toSingle does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Returns:

a Single that emits the single item emitted by the source Observable

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the source observable emits more than one item

java.util.NoSuchElementException - if the source observable emits no items

Since:

1.2

See Also:

ReactiveX documentation: Single

toCompletable

public Completable toCompletable()

Returns a Completable that discards all onNext emissions (similar to ignoreAllElements()) and calls onCompleted when this source observable calls onCompleted. Error terminal events are propagated.

Backpressure:

The operator ignores backpressure on the source Observable and the returned Completable does not have a notion of backpressure.

Scheduler:

toCompletable does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Returns:

a Completable that calls onCompleted on it's subscriber when the source Observable calls onCompleted

Since:

1.3

Combines two source Observables by emitting an item that aggregates the latest values of each of the source Observables each time an item is received from either of the source Observables, where this aggregation is defined by a specified function.

Backpressure:

The returned Observable honors backpressure from downstream. The source Observables are requested in a bounded manner, however, their backpressure is not enforced (the operator won't signal MissingBackpressureException) and may lead to OutOfMemoryError due to internal buffer bloat.

Scheduler:

combineLatest does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T1 - the element type of the first source

T2 - the element type of the second source

R - the combined output type

Parameters:

o1 - the first source Observable

o2 - the second source Observable

combineFunction - the aggregation function used to combine the items emitted by the source Observables

Returns:

an Observable that emits items that are the result of combining the items emitted by the source Observables by means of the given aggregation function

Combines four source Observables by emitting an item that aggregates the latest values of each of the source Observables each time an item is received from any of the source Observables, where this aggregation is defined by a specified function.

Backpressure:

The returned Observable honors backpressure from downstream. The source Observables are requested in a bounded manner, however, their backpressure is not enforced (the operator won't signal MissingBackpressureException) and may lead to OutOfMemoryError due to internal buffer bloat.

Scheduler:

combineLatest does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T1 - the element type of the first source

T2 - the element type of the second source

T3 - the element type of the third source

T4 - the element type of the fourth source

R - the combined output type

defer

public static <T> Observable<T> defer(Func0<Observable<T>> observableFactory)

Returns an Observable that calls an Observable factory to create an Observable for each new Observer that subscribes. That is, for each subscriber, the actual Observable that subscriber observes is determined by the factory function.

The defer Observer allows you to defer or delay emitting items from an Observable until such time as an Observer subscribes to the Observable. This allows an Observer to easily obtain updates or a refreshed version of the sequence.

Backpressure:

The operator itself doesn't interfere with backpressure which is determined by the Observable returned by the observableFactory.

Scheduler:

defer does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the items emitted by the Observable

Parameters:

observableFactory - the Observable factory function to invoke for each Observer that subscribes to the resulting Observable

Returns:

an Observable whose Observers' subscriptions trigger an invocation of the given Observable factory function

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Defer

empty

public static <T> Observable<T> empty()

Returns an Observable that emits no items to the Observer and immediately invokes its onCompleted method.

Backpressure:

This source doesn't produce any elements and effectively ignores downstream backpressure.

Scheduler:

empty does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the items (ostensibly) emitted by the Observable

Returns:

an Observable that emits no items to the Observer but immediately invokes the Observer's onCompleted method

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Empty

error

public static <T> Observable<T> error(java.lang.Throwable exception)

Returns an Observable that invokes an Observer's onError method when the Observer subscribes to it.

Backpressure:

This source doesn't produce any elements and effectively ignores downstream backpressure.

Scheduler:

error does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the items (ostensibly) emitted by the Observable

Parameters:

exception - the particular Throwable to pass to onError

Returns:

an Observable that invokes the Observer's onError method when the Observer subscribes to it

fromCallable

public static <T> Observable<T> fromCallable(java.util.concurrent.Callable<? extends T> func)

Returns an Observable that, when an observer subscribes to it, invokes a function you specify and then emits the value returned from that function.

This allows you to defer the execution of the function you specify until an observer subscribes to the Observable. That is to say, it makes the function "lazy."

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream.

Scheduler:

fromCallable does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the item emitted by the Observable

Parameters:

func - a function, the execution of which should be deferred; fromCallable will invoke this function only when an observer subscribes to the Observable that fromCallable returns

Returns:

an Observable whose Observers' subscriptions trigger an invocation of the given function

just

public static <T> Observable<T> just(T value)

Returns an Observable that emits a single item and then completes.

To convert any object into an Observable that emits that object, pass that object into the just method.

mergeDelayError

public static <T> Observable<T> mergeDelayError(Observable<? extends Observable<? extends T>> source)

Flattens an Observable that emits Observables into one Observable, in a way that allows an Observer to receive all successfully emitted items from all of the source Observables without being interrupted by an error notification from one of them.

This behaves like merge(Observable) except that if any of the merged Observables notify of an error via onError, mergeDelayError will refrain from propagating that error notification until all of the merged Observables have finished emitting items.

Even if multiple merged Observables send onError notifications, mergeDelayError will only invoke the onError method of its Observers once.

Type Parameters:

T - the common element base type

Parameters:

source - an Observable that emits Observables

Returns:

switchOnNext

public static <T> Observable<T> switchOnNext(Observable<? extends Observable<? extends T>> sequenceOfSequences)

Converts an Observable that emits Observables into an Observable that emits the items emitted by the most recently emitted of those Observables.

switchOnNext subscribes to an Observable that emits Observables. Each time it observes one of these emitted Observables, the Observable returned by switchOnNext begins emitting the items emitted by that Observable. When a new Observable is emitted, switchOnNext stops emitting items from the earlier-emitted Observable and begins emitting items from the new one.

The resulting Observable completes if both the outer Observable and the last inner Observable, if any, complete. If the outer Observable signals an onError, the inner Observable is unsubscribed and the error delivered in-sequence.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream. The outer Observable is consumed in an unbounded manner (i.e., without backpressure) and the inner Observables are expected to honor backpressure but it is not enforced; the operator won't signal a MissingBackpressureException but the violation may lead to OutOfMemoryError due to internal buffer bloat.

Scheduler:

switchOnNext does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T - the item type

Parameters:

sequenceOfSequences - the source Observable that emits Observables

Returns:

an Observable that emits the items emitted by the Observable most recently emitted by the source Observable

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Switch

switchOnNextDelayError

public static <T> Observable<T> switchOnNextDelayError(Observable<? extends Observable<? extends T>> sequenceOfSequences)

Converts an Observable that emits Observables into an Observable that emits the items emitted by the most recently emitted of those Observables and delays any exception until all Observables terminate.

switchOnNext subscribes to an Observable that emits Observables. Each time it observes one of these emitted Observables, the Observable returned by switchOnNext begins emitting the items emitted by that Observable. When a new Observable is emitted, switchOnNext stops emitting items from the earlier-emitted Observable and begins emitting items from the new one.

The resulting Observable completes if both the main Observable and the last inner Observable, if any, complete. If the main Observable signals an onError, the termination of the last inner Observable will emit that error as is or wrapped into a CompositeException along with the other possible errors the former inner Observables signalled.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream. The outer Observable is consumed in an unbounded manner (i.e., without backpressure) and the inner Observables are expected to honor backpressure but it is not enforced; the operator won't signal a MissingBackpressureException but the violation may lead to OutOfMemoryError due to internal buffer bloat.

Scheduler:

switchOnNext does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T - the item type

Parameters:

sequenceOfSequences - the source Observable that emits Observables

Returns:

an Observable that emits the items emitted by the Observable most recently emitted by the source Observable

                                               Action1<? super Resource> disposeAction)

Constructs an Observable that creates a dependent resource object which is disposed of on unsubscription.

Backpressure:

The operator is a pass-through for backpressure and otherwise depends on the backpressure support of the Observable returned by the resourceFactory.

Scheduler:

using does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T - the element type of the generated Observable

Resource - the type of the resource associated with the output sequence

Parameters:

resourceFactory - the factory function to create a resource object that depends on the Observable

observableFactory - the factory function to create an Observable

disposeAction - the function that will dispose of the resource

Returns:

the Observable whose lifetime controls the lifetime of the dependent resource object

zip

public static <R> Observable<R> zip(java.lang.Iterable<? extends Observable<?>> ws,
                                    FuncN<? extends R> zipFunction)

Returns an Observable that emits the results of a specified combiner function applied to combinations of items emitted, in sequence, by an Iterable of other Observables.

zip applies this function in strict sequence, so the first item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the first item emitted by each of the source Observables; the second item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the second item emitted by each of those Observables; and so forth.

The resulting Observable<R> returned from zip will invoke onNext as many times as the number of onNext invocations of the source Observable that emits the fewest items.

The operator subscribes to its sources in order they are specified and completes eagerly if one of the sources is shorter than the rest while unsubscribing the other sources. Therefore, it is possible those other sources will never be able to run to completion (and thus not calling doOnCompleted()). This can also happen if the sources are exactly the same length; if source A completes and B has been consumed and is about to complete, the operator detects A won't be sending further values and it will unsubscribe B immediately. For example:

zip(Arrays.asList(range(1, 5).doOnCompleted(action1), range(6, 5).doOnCompleted(action2)), (a) -> a)

action1 will be called but action2 won't.
To work around this termination property, use doOnUnsubscribed() as well or use using() to do cleanup in case of completion or unsubscription.

Backpressure:

The operator expects backpressure from the sources and honors backpressure from the downstream. (I.e., zipping with interval(long, TimeUnit) may result in MissingBackpressureException, use one of the onBackpressureX to handle similar, backpressure-ignoring sources.

Scheduler:

zip does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

R - the zipped result type

Parameters:

ws - an Iterable of source Observables

zipFunction - a function that, when applied to an item emitted by each of the source Observables, results in an item that will be emitted by the resulting Observable

Returns:

an Observable that emits the zipped results

Returns an Observable that emits the results of a specified combiner function applied to combinations of n items emitted, in sequence, by the n Observables emitted by a specified Observable.

zip applies this function in strict sequence, so the first item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the first item emitted by each of the Observables emitted by the source Observable; the second item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the second item emitted by each of those Observables; and so forth.

Returns an Observable that emits the results of a specified combiner function applied to combinations of four items emitted, in sequence, by four other Observables.

zip applies this function in strict sequence, so the first item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the first item emitted by o1, the first item emitted by o2, the first item emitted by o3, and the first item emitted by 04; the second item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the second item emitted by each of those Observables; and so forth.

public static <T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,R> Observable<R> zip(Observable<? extends T1> o1,
                                                   Observable<? extends T2> o2,
                                                   Observable<? extends T3> o3,
                                                   Observable<? extends T4> o4,
                                                   Observable<? extends T5> o5,
                                                   Func5<? super T1,? super T2,? super T3,? super T4,? super T5,? extends R> zipFunction)

Returns an Observable that emits the results of a specified combiner function applied to combinations of five items emitted, in sequence, by five other Observables.

zip applies this function in strict sequence, so the first item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the first item emitted by o1, the first item emitted by o2, the first item emitted by o3, the first item emitted by o4, and the first item emitted by o5; the second item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the second item emitted by each of those Observables; and so forth.

The resulting Observable<R> returned from zip will invoke onNext as many times as the number of onNext invocations of the source Observable that emits the fewest items.

The operator subscribes to its sources in order they are specified and completes eagerly if one of the sources is shorter than the rest while unsubscribing the other sources. Therefore, it is possible those other sources will never be able to run to completion (and thus not calling doOnCompleted()). This can also happen if the sources are exactly the same length; if source A completes and B has been consumed and is about to complete, the operator detects A won't be sending further values and it will unsubscribe B immediately. For example:

zip(range(1, 5).doOnCompleted(action1), range(6, 5).doOnCompleted(action2), ..., (a, b, c, d, e) -> a + b)

action1 will be called but action2 won't.
To work around this termination property, use doOnUnsubscribed() as well or use using() to do cleanup in case of completion or unsubscription.

Backpressure:

The operator expects backpressure from the sources and honors backpressure from the downstream. (I.e., zipping with interval(long, TimeUnit) may result in MissingBackpressureException, use one of the onBackpressureX to handle similar, backpressure-ignoring sources.

Scheduler:

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

T3 - the value type of the third source

T4 - the value type of the fourth source

T5 - the value type of the fifth source

R - the zipped result type

Parameters:

o1 - the first source Observable

o2 - a second source Observable

o3 - a third source Observable

o4 - a fourth source Observable

o5 - a fifth source Observable

zipFunction - a function that, when applied to an item emitted by each of the source Observables, results in an item that will be emitted by the resulting Observable

Returns:

an Observable that emits the zipped results

zip

public static <T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,R> Observable<R> zip(Observable<? extends T1> o1,

                                                      Observable<? extends T3> o3,
                                                      Observable<? extends T4> o4,

                                                      Observable<? extends T6> o6,
                                                      Func6<? super T1,? super T2,? super T3,? super T4,? super T5,? super T6,? extends R> zipFunction)

Returns an Observable that emits the results of a specified combiner function applied to combinations of six items emitted, in sequence, by six other Observables.

zip applies this function in strict sequence, so the first item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the first item emitted by each source Observable, the second item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the second item emitted by each of those Observables, and so forth.

The resulting Observable<R> returned from zip will invoke onNext as many times as the number of onNext invocations of the source Observable that emits the fewest items.

The operator subscribes to its sources in order they are specified and completes eagerly if one of the sources is shorter than the rest while unsubscribing the other sources. Therefore, it is possible those other sources will never be able to run to completion (and thus not calling doOnCompleted()). This can also happen if the sources are exactly the same length; if source A completes and B has been consumed and is about to complete, the operator detects A won't be sending further values and it will unsubscribe B immediately. For example:

zip(range(1, 5).doOnCompleted(action1), range(6, 5).doOnCompleted(action2), ..., (a, b, c, d, e, f) -> a + b)

action1 will be called but action2 won't.
To work around this termination property, use doOnUnsubscribed() as well or use using() to do cleanup in case of completion or unsubscription.

Backpressure:

The operator expects backpressure from the sources and honors backpressure from the downstream. (I.e., zipping with interval(long, TimeUnit) may result in MissingBackpressureException, use one of the onBackpressureX to handle similar, backpressure-ignoring sources.

Scheduler:

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

T3 - the value type of the third source

T4 - the value type of the fourth source

T5 - the value type of the fifth source

R - the zipped result type

Parameters:

o1 - the first source Observable

o2 - a second source Observable

o3 - a third source Observable

Returns an Observable that emits the results of a specified combiner function applied to combinations of seven items emitted, in sequence, by seven other Observables.

zip applies this function in strict sequence, so the first item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the first item emitted by each source Observable, the second item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the second item emitted by each of those Observables, and so forth.

The resulting Observable<R> returned from zip will invoke onNext as many times as the number of onNext invocations of the source Observable that emits the fewest items.

Returns an Observable that emits the results of a specified combiner function applied to combinations of eight items emitted, in sequence, by eight other Observables.

zip applies this function in strict sequence, so the first item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the first item emitted by each source Observable, the second item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the second item emitted by each of those Observables, and so forth.

Returns an Observable that emits the results of a specified combiner function applied to combinations of nine items emitted, in sequence, by nine other Observables.

zip applies this function in strict sequence, so the first item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the first item emitted by each source Observable, the second item emitted by the new Observable will be the result of the function applied to the second item emitted by each of those Observables, and so forth.

The resulting Observable<R> returned from zip will invoke onNext as many times as the number of onNext invocations of the source Observable that emits the fewest items.

The operator subscribes to its sources in order they are specified and completes eagerly if one of the sources is shorter than the rest while unsubscribing the other sources. Therefore, it is possible those other sources will never be able to run to completion (and thus not calling doOnCompleted()). This can also happen if the sources are exactly the same length; if source A completes and B has been consumed and is about to complete, the operator detects A won't be sending further values and it will unsubscribe B immediately. For example:

zip(range(1, 5).doOnCompleted(action1), range(6, 5).doOnCompleted(action2), ..., (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i) -> a + b)

action1 will be called but action2 won't.

ReactiveX operators documentation: Zip

all

public final Observable<java.lang.Boolean> all(Func1<? super T,java.lang.Boolean> predicate)

Returns an Observable that emits a Boolean that indicates whether all of the items emitted by the source Observable satisfy a condition.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream and consumes the source Observable in an unbounded manner (i.e., without applying backpressure).

Scheduler:

all does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

predicate - a function that evaluates an item and returns a Boolean

Returns:

an Observable that emits true if all items emitted by the source Observable satisfy the predicate; otherwise, false

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: All

ambWith

public final Observable<T> ambWith(Observable<? extends T> t1)

Mirrors the Observable (current or provided) that first either emits an item or sends a termination notification.

Backpressure:

The operator itself doesn't interfere with backpressure which is determined by the winning Observable's backpressure behavior.

Scheduler:

amb does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

t1 - an Observable competing to react first

Returns:

an Observable that emits the same sequence as whichever of the source Observables first emitted an item or sent a termination notification

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Amb

asObservable

public final Observable<T> asObservable()

Portrays a object of an Observable subclass as a simple Observable object. This is useful, for instance, when you have an implementation of a subclass of Observable but you want to hide the properties and methods of this subclass from whomever you are passing the Observable to.

Backpressure:

The operator itself doesn't interfere with backpressure which is determined by this Observable's backpressure behavior.

Scheduler:

asObservable does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Returns:

an Observable that hides the identity of this Observable

buffer

public final <TClosing> Observable<java.util.List<T>> buffer(Func0<? extends Observable<? extends TClosing>> bufferClosingSelector)

Returns an Observable that emits buffers of items it collects from the source Observable. The resulting Observable emits connected, non-overlapping buffers. It emits the current buffer and replaces it with a new buffer whenever the Observable produced by the specified bufferClosingSelector emits an item.

Backpressure:

This operator does not support backpressure as it is instead controlled by the given Observables and buffers data. It requests Long.MAX_VALUE upstream and does not obey downstream requests.

Scheduler:

This version of buffer does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

TClosing - the value type of the boundary-providing Observable

Parameters:

bufferClosingSelector - a Func0 that produces an Observable that governs the boundary between buffers. Whenever the source Observable emits an item, buffer emits the current buffer and begins to fill a new one

Returns:

an Observable that emits a connected, non-overlapping buffer of items from the source Observable each time the Observable created with the bufferClosingSelector argument emits an item

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Buffer

buffer

public final Observable<java.util.List<T>> buffer(int count)

Returns an Observable that emits buffers of items it collects from the source Observable. The resulting Observable emits connected, non-overlapping buffers, each containing count items. When the source Observable completes or encounters an error, the resulting Observable emits the current buffer and propagates the notification from the source Observable.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream and expects the source Observable to honor it as well, although not enforced; violation may lead to MissingBackpressureException somewhere downstream.

Scheduler:

This version of buffer does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

count - the maximum number of items in each buffer before it should be emitted

Returns:

an Observable that emits connected, non-overlapping buffers, each containing at most count items from the source Observable

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Buffer

buffer

public final Observable<java.util.List<T>> buffer(int count,
                                                  int skip)

Returns an Observable that emits buffers of items it collects from the source Observable. The resulting Observable emits buffers every skip items, each containing count items. When the source Observable completes or encounters an error, the resulting Observable emits the current buffer and propagates the notification from the source Observable.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream and expects the source Observable to honor it as well, although not enforced; violation may lead to MissingBackpressureException somewhere downstream.

Scheduler:

This version of buffer does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

count - the maximum size of each buffer before it should be emitted

skip - how many items emitted by the source Observable should be skipped before starting a new buffer. Note that when skip and count are equal, this is the same operation as buffer(int).

Returns:

an Observable that emits buffers for every skip item from the source Observable and containing at most count items

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Buffer

buffer

public final Observable<java.util.List<T>> buffer(long timespan,
                                                  long timeshift,
                                                  java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit)

Returns an Observable that emits buffers of items it collects from the source Observable. The resulting Observable starts a new buffer periodically, as determined by the timeshift argument. It emits each buffer after a fixed timespan, specified by the timespan argument. When the source Observable completes or encounters an error, the resulting Observable emits the current buffer and propagates the notification from the source Observable.

Backpressure:

This operator does not support backpressure as it uses time. It requests Long.MAX_VALUE upstream and does not obey downstream requests.

Scheduler:

This version of buffer operates by default on the computation Scheduler.

Parameters:

timespan - the period of time each buffer collects items before it is emitted

timeshift - the period of time after which a new buffer will be created

unit - the unit of time that applies to the timespan and timeshift arguments

Returns:

an Observable that emits new buffers of items emitted by the source Observable periodically after a fixed timespan has elapsed

                                                  java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit,
                                                  Scheduler scheduler)

Returns an Observable that emits buffers of items it collects from the source Observable. The resulting Observable starts a new buffer periodically, as determined by the timeshift argument, and on the specified scheduler. It emits each buffer after a fixed timespan, specified by the timespan argument. When the source Observable completes or encounters an error, the resulting Observable emits the current buffer and propagates the notification from the source Observable.

Backpressure:

This operator does not support backpressure as it uses time. It requests Long.MAX_VALUE upstream and does not obey downstream requests.

Scheduler:

you specify which Scheduler this operator will use

Parameters:

timespan - the period of time each buffer collects items before it is emitted

timeshift - the period of time after which a new buffer will be created

unit - the unit of time that applies to the timespan and timeshift arguments

scheduler - the Scheduler to use when determining the end and start of a buffer

Returns an Observable that emits buffers of items it collects from the source Observable. The resulting Observable emits connected, non-overlapping buffers, each of a fixed duration specified by the timespan argument. When the source Observable completes or encounters an error, the resulting Observable emits the current buffer and propagates the notification from the source Observable.

Backpressure:

This operator does not support backpressure as it uses time. It requests Long.MAX_VALUE upstream and does not obey downstream requests.

Scheduler:

This version of buffer operates by default on the computation Scheduler.

Parameters:

timespan - the period of time each buffer collects items before it is emitted and replaced with a new buffer

unit - the unit of time that applies to the timespan argument

Returns:

an Observable that emits connected, non-overlapping buffers of items emitted by the source Observable within a fixed duration

Scheduler:

This version of buffer does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

B - the boundary value type (ignored)

Parameters:

boundary - the boundary Observable

Returns:

                                                      int initialCapacity)

Returns an Observable that emits non-overlapping buffered items from the source Observable each time the specified boundary Observable emits an item.

Completion of either the source or the boundary Observable causes the returned Observable to emit the latest buffer and complete.

ReactiveX operators documentation: Buffer, buffer(rx.Observable, int)

cache

public final Observable<T> cache()

Returns an Observable that subscribes to this Observable lazily, caches all of its events and replays them, in the same order as received, to all the downstream subscribers.

This is useful when you want an Observable to cache responses and you can't control the subscribe/unsubscribe behavior of all the Subscribers.

The operator subscribes only when the first downstream subscriber subscribes and maintains a single subscription towards this Observable. In contrast, the operator family of replay() that return a ConnectableObservable require an explicit call to ConnectableObservable.connect().

Note: You sacrifice the ability to unsubscribe from the origin when you use the cache Observer so be careful not to use this Observer on Observables that emit an infinite or very large number of items that will use up memory. A possible workaround is to apply `takeUntil` with a predicate or another source before (and perhaps after) the application of cache().

 AtomicBoolean shouldStop = new AtomicBoolean();

 source.takeUntil(v -> shouldStop.get())
       .cache()
       .takeUntil(v -> shouldStop.get())
       .subscribe(...);
 

Since the operator doesn't allow clearing the cached values either, the possible workaround is to forget all references to it via onTerminateDetach() applied along with the previous workaround:

 AtomicBoolean shouldStop = new AtomicBoolean();

 source.takeUntil(v -> shouldStop.get())
       .onTerminateDetach()
       .cache()
       .takeUntil(v -> shouldStop.get())
       .onTerminateDetach()
       .subscribe(...);
 

Backpressure:

The operator consumes this Observable in an unbounded fashion but respects the backpressure of each downstream Subscriber individually.

Scheduler:

cache does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Returns:

an Observable that, when first subscribed to, caches all of its items and notifications for the benefit of subsequent subscribers

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Replay

Returns:

the new Observable instance with the specific behavior.

cacheWithInitialCapacity

public final Observable<T> cacheWithInitialCapacity(int initialCapacity)

Returns an Observable that subscribes to this Observable lazily, caches all of its events and replays them, in the same order as received, to all the downstream subscribers.

This is useful when you want an Observable to cache responses and you can't control the subscribe/unsubscribe behavior of all the Subscribers.

       .cache()
       .takeUntil(v -> shouldStop.get())
       .subscribe(...);
 

Since the operator doesn't allow clearing the cached values either, the possible workaround is to forget all references to it via onTerminateDetach() applied along with the previous workaround:

 AtomicBoolean shouldStop = new AtomicBoolean();

 source.takeUntil(v -> shouldStop.get())
       .onTerminateDetach()

       .onTerminateDetach()
       .subscribe(...);
 

Backpressure:

The operator consumes this Observable in an unbounded fashion but respects the backpressure of each downstream Subscriber individually.

Scheduler:

cache does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Note: The capacity hint is not an upper bound on cache size. For that, consider replay(int) in combination with ConnectableObservable.autoConnect() or similar.

initialCapacity - hint for number of items to cache (for optimizing underlying data structure)

Returns:

an Observable that, when first subscribed to, caches all of its items and notifications for the benefit of subsequent subscribers

doOnUnsubscribe

public final Observable<T> doOnUnsubscribe(Action0 unsubscribe)

Calls the unsubscribe Action0 if the downstream unsubscribes the sequence.

The action is shared between subscriptions and thus may be called concurrently from multiple threads; the action must be thread safe.

If the action throws a runtime exception, that exception is rethrown by the unsubscribe() call, sometimes as a CompositeException if there were multiple exceptions along the way.

Note that terminal events trigger the action unless the Observable is subscribed to via unsafeSubscribe().

Backpressure:

doOnUnsubscribe does not interact with backpressure requests or value delivery; backpressure behavior is preserved between its upstream and its downstream.

Scheduler:

doOnUnsubscribe does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

concatMapEager

public final <R> Observable<R> concatMapEager(Func1<? super T,? extends Observable<? extends R>> mapper,
                                              int capacityHint,
                                              int maxConcurrent)

Maps a sequence of values into Observables and concatenates these Observables eagerly into a single Observable.

Eager concatenation means that once a subscriber subscribes, this operator subscribes to all of the source Observables. The operator buffers the values emitted by these Observables and then drains them in order, each one after the previous one completes.

Backpressure:

Backpressure is honored towards the downstream, however, due to the eagerness requirement, sources are subscribed to in unbounded mode and their values are queued up in an unbounded buffer.

Scheduler:

This method does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

R - the value type

Parameters:

mapper - the function that maps a sequence of values into a sequence of Observables that will be eagerly concatenated

capacityHint - hints about the number of expected source sequence values

maxConcurrent - the maximum number of concurrent subscribed observables

Returns:

the new Observable instance with the specified concatenation behavior

Note: A GroupedObservable will cache the items it is to emit until such time as it is subscribed to. For this reason, in order to avoid memory leaks, you should not simply ignore those GroupedObservables that do not concern you. Instead, you can signal to them that they may discard their buffers by applying an operator like ignoreElements() to them.

Backpressure:

Both the returned and its inner Observables honor backpressure and the source Observable is consumed in a bounded mode (i.e., requested a fixed amount upfront and replenished based on downstream consumption). Note that both the returned and its inner Observables use unbounded internal buffers and if the source Observable doesn't honor backpressure, that may lead to OutOfMemoryError.

Scheduler:

groupBy does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

K - the key type

R - the element type

Parameters:

keySelector - a function that extracts the key for each item

elementSelector - a function that extracts the return element for each item

Returns:

an Observable that emits GroupedObservables, each of which corresponds to a unique key value and each of which emits those items from the source Observable that share that key value

Type Parameters:

K - the key type

R - the element type

Parameters:

keySelector - a function that extracts the key for each item

elementSelector - a function that extracts the return element for each item

evictingMapFactory - a function that given an eviction action returns a Map instance that will be used to assign items to the appropriate GroupedObservables. The Map instance must be thread-safe and any eviction must trigger a call to the supplied action (synchronously or asynchronously). This can be used to limit the size of the map by evicting keys by maximum size or access time for instance. Here's an example using Guava's CacheBuilder from v19.0:

            
            Func1<Action1<K>, Map<K, Object>> mapFactory
              = action -> CacheBuilder.newBuilder()
                  .maximumSize(1000)
                  .expireAfterAccess(12, TimeUnit.HOURS)
                  .removalListener(notification -> action.call(notification.getKey()))
                  .<K, Object> build().asMap();
            
            

Returns:

an Observable that emits GroupedObservables, each of which corresponds to a unique key value and each of which emits those items from the source Observable that share that key value

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if evictingMapFactory is null

evictingMapFactory - a function that given an eviction action returns a Map instance that will be used to assign items to the appropriate GroupedObservables. The Map instance must be thread-safe and any eviction must trigger a call to the supplied action (synchronously or asynchronously).

onBackpressureDrop

public final Observable<T> onBackpressureDrop(Action1<? super T> onDrop)

Instructs an Observable that is emitting items faster than its observer can consume them to discard, rather than emit, those items that its observer is not prepared to observe.

If the downstream request count hits 0 then the Observable will refrain from calling onNext until the observer invokes request(n) again to increase the request count.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream and consumes the source Observable in an unbounded manner (i.e., not applying backpressure to it).

Scheduler:

onBackpressureDrop does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

onDrop - the action to invoke for each item dropped. onDrop action should be fast and should never block.

Returns:

the source Observable modified to drop onNext notifications on overflow

Since:

1.1.0

ReactiveX operators documentation: backpressure operators

onBackpressureDrop

public final Observable<T> onBackpressureDrop()

Instructs an Observable that is emitting items faster than its observer can consume them to discard, rather than emit, those items that its observer is not prepared to observe.

If the downstream request count hits 0 then the Observable will refrain from calling onNext until the observer invokes request(n) again to increase the request count.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream and consumes the source Observable in an unbounded manner (i.e., not applying backpressure to it).

Scheduler:

onBackpressureDrop does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Returns:

the source Observable modified to drop onNext notifications on overflow

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: backpressure operators

onBackpressureLatest

public final Observable<T> onBackpressureLatest()

Instructs an Observable that is emitting items faster than its observer can consume them to hold onto the latest value and emit that on request.

Its behavior is logically equivalent to toBlocking().latest() with the exception that the downstream is not blocking while requesting more values.

Note that if the upstream Observable does support backpressure, this operator ignores that capability and doesn't propagate any backpressure requests from downstream.

Note that due to the nature of how backpressure requests are propagated through subscribeOn/observeOn, requesting more than 1 from downstream doesn't guarantee a continuous delivery of onNext events.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream and consumes the source Observable in an unbounded manner (i.e., not applying backpressure to it).

Scheduler:

onBackpressureLatest does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Returns:

the source Observable modified so that it emits the most recently-received item upon request

Since:

1.1.0

onErrorResumeNext

public final Observable<T> onErrorResumeNext(Func1<? super java.lang.Throwable,? extends Observable<? extends T>> resumeFunction)

Instructs an Observable to pass control to another Observable rather than invoking onError if it encounters an error.

By default, when an Observable encounters an error that prevents it from emitting the expected item to its Observer, the Observable invokes its Observer's onError method, and then quits without invoking any more of its Observer's methods. The onErrorResumeNext method changes this behavior. If you pass a function that returns an Observable (resumeFunction) to onErrorResumeNext, if the original Observable encounters an error, instead of invoking its Observer's onError method, it will instead relinquish control to the Observable returned from resumeFunction, which will invoke the Observer's onNext method if it is able to do so. In such a case, because no Observable necessarily invokes onError, the Observer may never know that an error happened.

You can use this to prevent errors from propagating or to supply fallback data should errors be encountered.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream. This and the resuming Observables are expected to honor backpressure as well. If any of them violate this expectation, the operator may throw an IllegalStateException when the source Observable completes or a MissingBackpressureException is signalled somewhere downstream.

Scheduler:

onErrorResumeNext does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

resumeFunction - a function that returns an Observable that will take over if the source Observable encounters an error

Returns:

the original Observable, with appropriately modified behavior

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Catch

onErrorResumeNext

public final Observable<T> onErrorResumeNext(Observable<? extends T> resumeSequence)

Instructs an Observable to pass control to another Observable rather than invoking onError if it encounters an error.

By default, when an Observable encounters an error that prevents it from emitting the expected item to its Observer, the Observable invokes its Observer's onError method, and then quits without invoking any more of its Observer's methods. The onErrorResumeNext method changes this behavior. If you pass another Observable (resumeSequence) to an Observable's onErrorResumeNext method, if the original Observable encounters an error, instead of invoking its Observer's onError method, it will instead relinquish control to resumeSequence which will invoke the Observer's onNext method if it is able to do so. In such a case, because no Observable necessarily invokes onError, the Observer may never know that an error happened.

You can use this to prevent errors from propagating or to supply fallback data should errors be encountered.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream. This and the resuming Observables are expected to honor backpressure as well. If any of them violate this expectation, the operator may throw an IllegalStateException when the source Observable completes or MissingBackpressureException is signalled somewhere downstream.

Scheduler:

onErrorResumeNext does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

resumeSequence - a function that returns an Observable that will take over if the source Observable encounters an error

Returns:

the original Observable, with appropriately modified behavior

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Catch

onErrorReturn

public final Observable<T> onErrorReturn(Func1<? super java.lang.Throwable,? extends T> resumeFunction)

Instructs an Observable to emit an item (returned by a specified function) rather than invoking onError if it encounters an error.

By default, when an Observable encounters an error that prevents it from emitting the expected item to its Observer, the Observable invokes its Observer's onError method, and then quits without invoking any more of its Observer's methods. The onErrorReturn method changes this behavior. If you pass a function (resumeFunction) to an Observable's onErrorReturn method, if the original Observable encounters an error, instead of invoking its Observer's onError method, it will instead emit the return value of resumeFunction.

You can use this to prevent errors from propagating or to supply fallback data should errors be encountered.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream. The source Observables is expected to honor backpressure as well. If it this expectation is violated, the operator may throw IllegalStateException when the source Observable completes or MissingBackpressureException is signalled somewhere downstream.

Scheduler:

onErrorReturn does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

resumeFunction - a function that returns an item that the new Observable will emit if the source Observable encounters an error

Returns:

the original Observable with appropriately modified behavior

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Catch

onExceptionResumeNext

public final Observable<T> onExceptionResumeNext(Observable<? extends T> resumeSequence)

Instructs an Observable to pass control to another Observable rather than invoking onError if it encounters an Exception.

This differs from onErrorResumeNext(rx.functions.Func1<? super java.lang.Throwable, ? extends rx.Observable<? extends T>>) in that this one does not handle Throwable or Error but lets those continue through.

By default, when an Observable encounters an exception that prevents it from emitting the expected item to its Observer, the Observable invokes its Observer's onError method, and then quits without invoking any more of its Observer's methods. The onExceptionResumeNext method changes this behavior. If you pass another Observable (resumeSequence) to an Observable's onExceptionResumeNext method, if the original Observable encounters an exception, instead of invoking its Observer's onError method, it will instead relinquish control to resumeSequence which will invoke the Observer's onNext method if it is able to do so. In such a case, because no Observable necessarily invokes onError, the Observer may never know that an exception happened.

You can use this to prevent exceptions from propagating or to supply fallback data should exceptions be encountered.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure from downstream. This and the resuming Observables are expected to honor backpressure as well. If any of them violate this expectation, the operator may throw an IllegalStateException when the source Observable completes or MissingBackpressureException is signalled somewhere downstream.

Scheduler:

onExceptionResumeNext does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

resumeSequence - a function that returns an Observable that will take over if the source Observable encounters an exception

Returns:

the original Observable, with appropriately modified behavior

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Catch

onTerminateDetach

public final Observable<T> onTerminateDetach()

Nulls out references to the upstream producer and downstream Subscriber if the sequence is terminated or downstream unsubscribes.

Backpressure:

The operator doesn't interfere with backpressure which is determined by the source Observable's backpressure behavior.

Scheduler:

onTerminateDetach does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Returns:

an Observable which out references to the upstream producer and downstream Subscriber if the sequence is terminated or downstream unsubscribes

Since:

1.3

publish

public final ConnectableObservable<T> publish()

Returns a ConnectableObservable, which is a variety of Observable that waits until its connect method is called before it begins emitting items to those Observers that have subscribed to it.

Backpressure:

The returned ConnectableObservable honors backpressure for each of its Subscribers and expects the source Observable to honor backpressure as well. If this expectation is violated, the operator will signal a MissingBackpressureException to its Subscribers and disconnect.

Scheduler:

publish does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Returns:

a ConnectableObservable that upon connection causes the source Observable to emit items to its Observers

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Publish

publish

public final <R> Observable<R> publish(Func1<? super Observable<T>,? extends Observable<R>> selector)

Returns an Observable that emits the results of invoking a specified selector on items emitted by a ConnectableObservable that shares a single subscription to the underlying sequence.

Backpressure:

The operator expects the source Observable to honor backpressure and if this expectation is violated, the operator will signal a MissingBackpressureException through the Observable provided to the function. Since the Observable returned by the selector may be independent from the provided Observable to the function, the output's backpressure behavior is determined by this returned Observable.

Scheduler:

publish does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

R - the type of items emitted by the resulting Observable

Parameters:

selector - a function that can use the multicasted source sequence as many times as needed, without causing multiple subscriptions to the source sequence. Subscribers to the given source will receive all notifications of the source from the time of the subscription forward.

Returns:

an Observable that emits the results of invoking the selector on the items emitted by a ConnectableObservable that shares a single subscription to the underlying sequence

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Publish

rebatchRequests

public final Observable<T> rebatchRequests(int n)

Requests n initially from the upstream and then 75% of n subsequently after 75% of n values have been emitted to the downstream.

This operator allows preventing the downstream to trigger unbounded mode via request(Long.MAX_VALUE) or compensate for the per-item overhead of small and frequent requests.

Backpressure:

The operator expects backpressure from upstream and honors backpressure from downstream.

Scheduler:

rebatchRequests does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

n - the initial request amount, further request will happen after 75% of this value

Returns:

the Observable that rebatches request amounts from downstream

Since:

1.3

reduce

public final Observable<T> reduce(Func2<T,T,T> accumulator)

Returns an Observable that applies a specified accumulator function to the first item emitted by a source Observable, then feeds the result of that function along with the second item emitted by the source Observable into the same function, and so on until all items have been emitted by the source Observable, and emits the final result from the final call to your function as its sole item.

This technique, which is called "reduce" here, is sometimes called "aggregate," "fold," "accumulate," "compress," or "inject" in other programming contexts. Groovy, for instance, has an inject method that does a similar operation on lists.

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure of its downstream consumer and consumes the upstream source in unbounded mode.

Scheduler:

reduce does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

accumulator - an accumulator function to be invoked on each item emitted by the source Observable, whose result will be used in the next accumulator call

Returns:

an Observable that emits a single item that is the result of accumulating the items emitted by the source Observable

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the source Observable emits no items

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Reduce, Wikipedia: Fold (higher-order function)

reduce

public final <R> Observable<R> reduce(R initialValue,
                                      Func2<R,? super T,R> accumulator)

Returns an Observable that applies a specified accumulator function to the first item emitted by a source Observable and a specified seed value, then feeds the result of that function along with the second item emitted by an Observable into the same function, and so on until all items have been emitted by the source Observable, emitting the final result from the final call to your function as its sole item.

This technique, which is called "reduce" here, is sometimes called "aggregate," "fold," "accumulate," "compress," or "inject" in other programming contexts. Groovy, for instance, has an inject method that does a similar operation on lists.

Note that the initialValue is shared among all subscribers to the resulting Observable and may cause problems if it is mutable. To make sure each subscriber gets its own value, defer the application of this operator via defer(Func0):

 Observable<T> source = ...
 Observable.defer(() -> source.reduce(new ArrayList<>(), (list, item) -> list.add(item)));

 // alternatively, by using compose to stay fluent

 source.compose(o ->
     Observable.defer(() -> o.reduce(new ArrayList<>(), (list, item) -> list.add(item)))
 );
 

Backpressure:

The operator honors backpressure of its downstream consumer and consumes the upstream source in unbounded mode.

Scheduler:

reduce does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

R - the accumulator and output value type

Parameters:

initialValue - the initial (seed) accumulator value

accumulator - an accumulator function to be invoked on each item emitted by the source Observable, the result of which will be used in the next accumulator call

Returns:

an Observable that emits a single item that is the result of accumulating the output from the items emitted by the source Observable

Returns a ConnectableObservable that shares a single subscription to the source Observable that replays at most bufferSize items emitted by that Observable. A Connectable Observable resembles an ordinary Observable, except that it does not begin emitting items when it is subscribed to, but only when its connect method is called.

Backpressure:

This operator supports backpressure. Note that the upstream requests are determined by the child Subscriber which requests the largest amount: i.e., two child Subscribers with requests of 10 and 100 will request 100 elements from the underlying Observable sequence.

Scheduler:

This version of replay does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

bufferSize - the buffer size that limits the number of items that can be replayed

Returns:

a ConnectableObservable that shares a single subscription to the source Observable and replays at most bufferSize items emitted by that Observable

This operator supports backpressure. Note that the upstream requests are determined by the child Subscriber which requests the largest amount: i.e., two child Subscribers with requests of 10 and 100 will request 100 elements from the underlying Observable sequence.

Scheduler:

you specify which Scheduler this operator will use

Parameters:

bufferSize - the buffer size that limits the number of items that can be replayed

time - the duration of the window in which the replayed items must have been emitted

unit - the time unit of time

scheduler - the scheduler that is used as a time source for the window

Returns:

a ConnectableObservable that shares a single subscription to the source Observable and replays at most bufferSize items that were emitted during the window defined by time

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bufferSize is less than zero

replay

public final ConnectableObservable<T> replay(Scheduler scheduler)

Returns a ConnectableObservable that shares a single subscription to the source Observable that will replay all of its items and notifications to any future Observer on the given Scheduler. A Connectable Observable resembles an ordinary Observable, except that it does not begin emitting items when it is subscribed to, but only when its connect method is called.

Backpressure:

This operator supports backpressure. Note that the upstream requests are determined by the child Subscriber which requests the largest amount: i.e., two child Subscribers with requests of 10 and 100 will request 100 elements from the underlying Observable sequence.

Scheduler:

you specify which Scheduler this operator will use

Parameters:

scheduler - the Scheduler on which the Observers will observe the emitted items

Returns:

a ConnectableObservable that shares a single subscription to the source Observable that will replay all of its items and notifications to any future Observer on the given Scheduler

ReactiveX operators documentation: Replay

retry

public final Observable<T> retry()

Returns an Observable that mirrors the source Observable, resubscribing to it if it calls onError (infinite retry count).

If the source Observable calls Observer.onError(java.lang.Throwable), this method will resubscribe to the source Observable rather than propagating the onError call.

Any and all items emitted by the source Observable will be emitted by the resulting Observable, even those emitted during failed subscriptions. For example, if an Observable fails at first but emits [1, 2] then succeeds the second time and emits [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] then the complete sequence of emissions and notifications would be [1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, onCompleted].

Backpressure:

The operator honors downstream backpressure and expects the source Observable to honor backpressure as well. If this expectation is violated, the operator may throw an IllegalStateException.

Scheduler:

retry operates by default on the trampoline Scheduler.

Returns:

the source Observable modified with retry logic
