RxJava

Since its inception in 2012, RxJava has slowly gained in popularity for enabling reactive programming on Android. It is now deemed as the go-to and leading reactive library. Many companies have adopted the reactive way of programming, including Google, with its release of Android Architecture Components, which has many reactive elements in its design.

In this course, you will learn the fundamental principles of RxJava which will serve as a foundation for experienced Android developers who are new to the library and want to start integrating it into their apps.

Reactive Programming with RxJava

Use a `Subscriber` to allow fine-grained control of how a consumer notifies a producer that it can consume more data. In addition to the standard observer methods `.onNext(T)`, `.onError(Throwable)`, and `.onComplete()`, a `Subscriber` has an additional method, `.onSubscribe(Subscription)`, which is called upon subscribing to a producer ( `Flowable`). The `Subscription` object received from `.onSubscribe(Subscription)` is then used to control the flow of production from the producer through its method `.request(long)`. As soon as `.onSubscribe()` is invoked, we must immediately request data from the producer via `.request(long)` to begin receiving items.

Learn how a consumer can notify a producer using a Subscriber.
