Learning RxJava 2 for Android by example

How to use RxJava 2 in Android Application

How to migrate from RxJava 1.0 to RxJava 2.0

This project is for :

• who is migrating to RxJava 2
• or just started with RxJava.

Just Build the project and start learning RxJava by examples.

RxJava 2.0 has been completely rewritten from scratch on top of the Reactive-Streams specification. The specification itself has evolved out of RxJava 1.x and provides a common baseline for reactive systems and libraries.

Because Reactive-Streams has a different architecture, it mandates changes to some well known RxJava types.

Migration From RxJava 1.0 to RxJava 2.0

To allow having RxJava 1 and RxJava 2 side-by-side, RxJava 2 is under the maven coordinates io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.x.y and classes are accessible below io.reactivex.

Users switching from 1.x to 2.x have to re-organize their imports, but carefully.

Using RxJava 2.0 Library in your application

Add this in your build.gradle

compile 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.0.6'

If you are using RxAndroid also, then add the following

compile 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxandroid:2.0.1'

RxJava 2 Examples present in this sample project

• RxJava 2.0 Example using CompositeDisposable as CompositeSubscription and Subscription have been removed.

• RxJava 2 Example using Flowable.

• RxJava 2 Example using SingleObserver, CompletableObserver.

• RxJava 2 Example using RxJava2 operators such as map, zip, take, reduce, flatMap, filter, buffer, skip, merge, concat, replay, and much more:

• RxJava 2 Android Samples using Function as Func1 has been removed.

• RxJava 2 Android Samples using BiFunction as Func2 has been removed.

• And many others android examples

Quick Look on few changes done in RxJava2 over RxJava1

RxJava1 -> RxJava2

• onCompleted -> onComplete - without the trailing d
• Func1 -> Function
• Func2 -> BiFunction
• CompositeSubscription -> CompositeDisposable
• limit operator has been removed - Use take in RxJava2
• and much more.

Operators :

• Map -> transform the items emitted by an Observable by applying a function to each item
• Zip -> combine the emissions of multiple Observables together via a specified function and emit single items for each combination based on the results of this function
• Filter -> emit only those items from an Observable that pass a predicate test
• FlatMap -> transform the items emitted by an Observable into Observables, then flatten the emissions from those into a single Observable
• Take -> emit only the first n items emitted by an Observable
• Reduce -> apply a function to each item emitted by an Observable, sequentially, and emit the final value
• Skip -> suppress the first n items emitted by an Observable
• Buffer -> periodically gather items emitted by an Observable into bundles and emit these bundles rather than emitting the items one at a time
• Concat -> emit the emissions from two or more Observables without interleaving them
• Replay -> ensure that all observers see the same sequence of emitted items, even if they subscribe after the Observable has begun emitting items
• Merge -> combine multiple Observables into one by merging their emissions
