Learning RxJava

Overview of this book

RxJava is not just a popular library for building asynchronous and event-based applications; it also enables you to create a cleaner and more readable code base. In this book, you’ll cover the core fundamentals of reactive programming and learn how to design and implement reactive libraries and applications. Learning RxJava will help you understand how reactive programming works and guide you in writing your first example in reactive code. You’ll get to grips with the workings of Observable and Subscriber, and see how they are used in different contexts using real-world use cases. The book will also take you through multicasting and caching to help prevent redundant work with multiple Observers. You’ll then learn how to create your own RxJava operators by reusing reactive logic. As you advance, you’ll explore effective tools and libraries to test and debug RxJava code. Finally, you’ll delve into RxAndroid extensions and use Kotlin features to streamline your Android apps. By the end of this book, you'll become proficient in writing reactive code in Java and Kotlin to build concurrent applications, including Android applications.

Using RxJava and RxAndroid

The primary feature of the RxAndroid library (https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxAndroid) is that it has Android schedulers to help your concurrency goals for your Android app. It has a Scheduler class for the Android main thread as well as an implementation that can target any message Looper class. Striving to be a core library, RxAndroid does not have many other features. You will need specialized reactive bindings libraries for Android to do more than that, which we will explore later.

Let's start simple. Let's execute the Android application that comes out of the box:

  1. Select Run or Run 'MainActivity' from the Run menu:
