Method Detail

hasObservers

public abstract boolean hasObservers()

Indicates whether the Subject has Observers subscribed to it.

Returns:

true if there is at least one Observer subscribed to this Subject, false otherwise

toSerialized

public final SerializedSubject<T,R> toSerialized()

Wraps a Subject so that it is safe to call its various on methods from different threads.

When you use an ordinary Subject as a Subscriber, you must take care not to call its Observer.onNext(T) method (or its other on methods) from multiple threads, as this could lead to non-serialized calls, which violates the Observable contract and creates an ambiguity in the resulting Subject.

To protect a Subject from this danger, you can convert it into a SerializedSubject with code like the following:

mySafeSubject = myUnsafeSubject.toSerialized();
 

Returns:

SerializedSubject wrapping the current Subject
