rxjava

Sometimes, we may need to emit different RxJava Observables depending on the specific condition dynamically. Moreover, it’s good to do it right without breaking a chain (stream of Observables). We want to combine different Observables together and do not want to nest one subscription inside another subscription because this will lead us to “subscription hell” similar to “callback hell”. Luckily RxJava has mechanisms to deal with such problems. In this article, I’m basing my examples on RxJava 2....

This time, I upgraded my another reactive Android open-source project called ReactiveNetwork to RxJava2.x. Many thanks goes to @tushar-acharya who performed initial migration to the newer version of RxJava. During migration, I’ve also created new package rx2 to avoid potential import conflicts during migration inside Android apps. Besides migration, I’ve updated sample apps, documentation & JavaDocs on Github pages. You can still use RxJava1.x version and it’s available on the branch with that name....

I was asked to be a speaker during GDG DevFest 2015 conference in Warsaw, Poland. Of course, I accepted this invitation and prepared presentation titled “Reactive Live Coding”. Presentation covered basics of Reactive Programming, RxJava and RxAndroid. Besides my talk I’ve done live coding to show how to use mentioned libraries and basics principles of Reactive Programming in real life. I had only 20 minutes for all of that, so my time-box was very limited....

I’ve recently released ReactiveNetwork. It is an open-source Android library listening network connection state and change of the WiFi signal strength with RxJava Observables. It’s a successor of Network Events library rewritten with Reactive Programming approach. Library is compatible with RxJava 1.0.+ and RxAndroid 1.0.+ and uses them under the hood. Min Android SDK version is 9. JavaDoc can be found at: http://pwittchen.github.io/ReactiveNetwork. Repository is available at: https://github.com/pwittchen/ReactiveNetwork. This library is much simpler and easier to use than NetworkEvents....
