rx

Class Single<T>

java.lang.Object

rx.Single<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the item emitted by the Single

public class Single<T>
extends java.lang.Object

The Single class implements the Reactive Pattern for a single value response. See Observable for the implementation of the Reactive Pattern for a stream or vector of values.

Single behaves the same as Observable except that it can only emit either a single successful value, or an error (there is no "onComplete" notification as there is for Observable)

Like an Observable, a Single is lazy, can be either "hot" or "cold", synchronous or asynchronous.

The documentation for this class makes use of marble diagrams. The following legend explains these diagrams:

Constructor Detail

Single

protected Single(Single.OnSubscribe<T> f)

Creates a Single with a Function to execute when it is subscribed to (executed).

Note: Use create(OnSubscribe) to create a Single, instead of this constructor, unless you specifically have a need for inheritance.

Parameters:

f - f to be executed when execute(SingleSubscriber) or subscribe(Subscriber) is called

Single

@Deprecated
protected Single(Observable.OnSubscribe<T> f)

Deprecated. 1.2.1: Not recommended, use Single(OnSubscribe) to avoid wrapping and conversion between the Observable and Single protocols.

Creates a Single with a Function to execute when it is subscribed to (executed).

Note: Use create(OnSubscribe) to create a Single, instead of this constructor, unless you specifically have a need for inheritance.

Parameters:

f - f to be executed when execute(SingleSubscriber) or subscribe(Subscriber) is called

Method Detail

create

public static <T> Single<T> create(Single.OnSubscribe<T> f)

Returns a Single that will execute the specified function when a SingleSubscriber executes it or a Subscriber subscribes to it.

Write the function you pass to create so that it behaves as a Single: It should invoke the SingleSubscriber onSuccess and/or onError methods appropriately.

A well-formed Single must invoke either the SingleSubscriber's onSuccess method exactly once or its onError method exactly once.

Scheduler:

create does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the item that this Single emits

Parameters:

f - a function that accepts an SingleSubscriber<T>, and invokes its onSuccess or onError methods as appropriate

Returns:

a Single that, when a Subscriber subscribes to it, will execute the specified function

ReactiveX operators documentation: Create

lift

@Beta
public final <R> Single<R> lift(Observable.Operator<? extends R,? super T> lift)

Lifts a function to the current Single and returns a new Single that when subscribed to will pass the values of the current Single through the Operator function.

In other words, this allows chaining TaskExecutors together on a Single for acting on the values within the Single.

task.map(...).filter(...).lift(new OperatorA()).lift(new OperatorB(...)).subscribe()

If the operator you are creating is designed to act on the item emitted by a source Single, use lift. If your operator is designed to transform the source Single as a whole (for instance, by applying a particular set of existing RxJava operators to it) use compose(rx.Single.Transformer<? super T, ? extends R>).

Scheduler:

lift does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

R - the downstream's value type (output)

Parameters:

lift - the Operator that implements the Single-operating function to be applied to the source Single

Returns:

a Single that is the result of applying the lifted Operator to the source Single

See Also:

RxJava wiki: Implementing Your Own Operators

compose

public <R> Single<R> compose(Single.Transformer<? super T,? extends R> transformer)

Transform a Single by applying a particular Transformer function to it.

This method operates on the Single itself whereas lift(rx.Observable.Operator<? extends R, ? super T>) operates on the Single's Subscribers or Observers.

If the operator you are creating is designed to act on the individual item emitted by a Single, use lift(rx.Observable.Operator<? extends R, ? super T>). If your operator is designed to transform the source Single as a whole (for instance, by applying a particular set of existing RxJava operators to it) use compose.

Scheduler:

compose does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

R - the value type of the single returned by the transformer function

Parameters:

transformer - implements the function that transforms the source Single

Returns:

the source Single, transformed by the transformer function

cache

@Experimental
public final Single<T> cache()

Returns a Single that subscribes to this Single lazily, caches its success or error event and replays it to all the downstream subscribers.

This is useful when you want a Single to cache its response and you can't control the subscribe/unsubscribe behavior of all the Subscribers.

The operator subscribes only when the first downstream subscriber subscribes and maintains a single subscription towards this Single. In contrast, the operator family of Observable.replay() that return a ConnectableObservable require an explicit call to ConnectableObservable.connect().

Note: You sacrifice the ability to unsubscribe from the origin when you use the cache Observer so be careful not to use this Observer on Observables that emit an infinite or very large number of items that will use up memory. A possible workaround is to apply `takeUntil` with a predicate or another source before (and perhaps after) the application of cache().

 AtomicBoolean shouldStop = new AtomicBoolean();

 source.takeUntil(v -> shouldStop.get())
       .cache()
       .takeUntil(v -> shouldStop.get())
       .subscribe(...);
 

Since the operator doesn't allow clearing the cached values either, the possible workaround is to forget all references to it via Observable.onTerminateDetach() applied along with the previous workaround:

 AtomicBoolean shouldStop = new AtomicBoolean();

 source.takeUntil(v -> shouldStop.get())
       .onTerminateDetach()
       .cache()
       .takeUntil(v -> shouldStop.get())
       .onTerminateDetach()
       .subscribe(...);
 

Backpressure:

The operator consumes this Single in an unbounded fashion but respects the backpressure of each downstream Subscriber individually.

Scheduler:

cache does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Returns:

a Single that, when first subscribed to, caches its response for the benefit of subsequent subscribers

Parameters:

func - a function to apply to the item emitted by the Single

Returns:

a Single that emits the item from the source Single, transformed by the specified function

mergeWith

public final Observable<T> mergeWith(Single<? extends T> t1)

Flattens this and another Single into a single Observable, without any transformation.

You can combine items emitted by multiple Singles so that they appear as a single Observable, by using the mergeWith method.

observeOn

public final Single<T> observeOn(Scheduler scheduler)

Modifies a Single to emit its item (or notify of its error) on a specified Scheduler, asynchronously.

Scheduler:

you specify which Scheduler this operator will use

Parameters:

scheduler - the Scheduler to notify subscribers on

Returns:

the source Single modified so that its subscribers are notified on the specified Scheduler

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: ObserveOn, RxJava Threading Examples, subscribeOn(rx.Scheduler)

onErrorReturn

public final Single<T> onErrorReturn(Func1<java.lang.Throwable,? extends T> resumeFunction)

Instructs a Single to emit an item (returned by a specified function) rather than invoking onError if it encounters an error.

By default, when a Single encounters an error that prevents it from emitting the expected item to its subscriber, the Single invokes its subscriber's Observer.onError(java.lang.Throwable) method, and then quits without invoking any more of its subscriber's methods. The onErrorReturn method changes this behavior. If you pass a function (resumeFunction) to a Single's onErrorReturn method, if the original Single encounters an error, instead of invoking its subscriber's Observer.onError(java.lang.Throwable) method, it will instead emit the return value of resumeFunction.

You can use this to prevent errors from propagating or to supply fallback data should errors be encountered.

Scheduler:

onErrorReturn does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

resumeFunction - a function that returns an item that the new Single will emit if the source Single encounters an error

Returns:

the original Single with appropriately modified behavior

See Also:

ReactiveX operators documentation: Catch

onErrorResumeNext

@Beta
public final Single<T> onErrorResumeNext(Single<? extends T> resumeSingleInCaseOfError)

Instructs a Single to pass control to another Single rather than invoking Observer.onError(Throwable) if it encounters an error.

By default, when a Single encounters an error that prevents it from emitting the expected item to its Observer, the Single invokes its Observer's onError method, and then quits without invoking any more of its Observer's methods. The onErrorResumeNext method changes this behavior. If you pass another Single (resumeSingleInCaseOfError) to a Single's onErrorResumeNext method, if the original Single encounters an error, instead of invoking its Observer's onError method, it will instead relinquish control to resumeSingleInCaseOfError which will invoke the Observer's onNext method if it is able to do so. In such a case, because no Single necessarily invokes onError, the Observer may never know that an error happened.

You can use this to prevent errors from propagating or to supply fallback data should errors be encountered.

Scheduler:

onErrorResumeNext does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

resumeSingleInCaseOfError - a Single that will take control if source Single encounters an error.

Returns:

the original Single, with appropriately modified behavior.

Since:

(if this graduates from Experimental/Beta to supported, replace this parenthetical with the release number)

ReactiveX operators documentation: Catch

onErrorResumeNext

@Beta
public final Single<T> onErrorResumeNext(Func1<java.lang.Throwable,? extends Single<? extends T>> resumeFunctionInCaseOfError)

Instructs a Single to pass control to another Single rather than invoking Observer.onError(Throwable) if it encounters an error.

By default, when a Single encounters an error that prevents it from emitting the expected item to its Observer, the Single invokes its Observer's onError method, and then quits without invoking any more of its Observer's methods. The onErrorResumeNext method changes this behavior. If you pass a function that will return another Single (resumeFunctionInCaseOfError) to a Single's onErrorResumeNext method, if the original Single encounters an error, instead of invoking its Observer's onError method, it will instead relinquish control to resumeSingleInCaseOfError which will invoke the Observer's onNext method if it is able to do so. In such a case, because no Single necessarily invokes onError, the Observer may never know that an error happened.

You can use this to prevent errors from propagating or to supply fallback data should errors be encountered.

Scheduler:

onErrorResumeNext does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

resumeFunctionInCaseOfError - a function that returns a Single that will take control if source Single encounters an error.

Returns:

the original Single, with appropriately modified behavior.

unsafeSubscribe

public final Subscription unsafeSubscribe(Subscriber<? super T> subscriber)

Subscribes to a Single and invokes the Single.OnSubscribe function without any contract protection, error handling, unsubscribe, or execution hooks.

Use this only for implementing an Observable.Operator that requires nested subscriptions. For other purposes, use subscribe(Subscriber) which ensures the Rx contract and other functionality.

Scheduler:

unsafeSubscribe does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

subscriber - the Subscriber that will handle the emission or notification from the Single

Returns:

the subscription that allows unsubscribing

subscribe

public final Subscription subscribe(Observer<? super T> observer)

Subscribes an Observer to this single and returns a Subscription that allows unsubscription.

Parameters:

Returns:

the Subscription that allows unsubscription

subscribe

public final Subscription subscribe(Subscriber<? super T> subscriber)

Subscribes to a Single and provides a Subscriber that implements functions to handle the item the Single emits or any error notification it issues.

A typical implementation of subscribe does the following:

1. It stores a reference to the Subscriber in a collection object, such as a List<T> object.
2. It returns a reference to the Subscription interface. This enables Subscribers to unsubscribe, that is, to stop receiving the item or notification before the Single completes.

A Single<T> instance is responsible for accepting all subscriptions and notifying all Subscribers. Unless the documentation for a particular Single<T> implementation indicates otherwise, Subscribers should make no assumptions about the order in which multiple Subscribers will receive their notifications.

For more information see the ReactiveX documentation.

Scheduler:

subscribe does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

subscriber - the Subscriber that will handle the emission or notification from the Single

Returns:

a Subscription reference can request the Single stop work.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if subscribe is unable to obtain an OnSubscribe<> function

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the Subscriber provided as the argument to subscribe is null

OnErrorNotImplementedException - if the Subscriber's onError method is null

java.lang.RuntimeException - if the Subscriber's onError method itself threw a Throwable

retry

public final Single<T> retry()

Returns a Single that mirrors the source Single, resubscribing to it if it calls onError (infinite retry count). If the source Single calls SingleSubscriber.onError(java.lang.Throwable), this method will resubscribe to the source Single rather than propagating the onError call.

Scheduler:

retry operates by default on the trampoline Scheduler.

Returns:

the source Single modified with retry logic

ReactiveX operators documentation: Retry

retry

public final Single<T> retry(long count)

Returns a Single that mirrors the source Single, resubscribing to it if it calls onError up to a specified number of retries. If the source Single calls SingleSubscriber.onError(java.lang.Throwable), this method will resubscribe to the source Single for a maximum of count resubscriptions rather than propagating the onError call.

Scheduler:

retry operates by default on the trampoline Scheduler.

Parameters:

count - number of retry attempts before failing

Returns:

the source Single modified with retry logic

ReactiveX operators documentation: Retry

retry

public final Single<T> retry(Func2<java.lang.Integer,java.lang.Throwable,java.lang.Boolean> predicate)

Returns a Single that mirrors the source Single, resubscribing to it if it calls onError and the predicate returns true for that specific exception and retry count.

Backpressure Support:

This operator honors backpressure.

Scheduler:

retry operates by default on the trampoline Scheduler.

Parameters:

predicate - the predicate that determines if a resubscription may happen in case of a specific exception and retry count

Returns:

the source Single modified with retry logic

retryWhen

public final Single<T> retryWhen(Func1<Observable<? extends java.lang.Throwable>,? extends Observable<?>> notificationHandler)

Returns a Single that emits the same values as the source Single with the exception of an onError. An onError notification from the source will result in the emission of a Throwable item to the Observable provided as an argument to the notificationHandler function.

Emissions from the handler Observable is treated as follows:

• If the handler Observable emits an onCompleted the retryWhen will call onError with NoSuchElementException on the child subscription.
• If the handler Observable emits an onError the retryWhen will call onError with the same Throwable instance on the child subscription.
• Otherwise, the operator will resubscribe to the source Single.

The notificationHandler function is called for each subscriber individually. This allows per-Subscriber state to be added to the error notification sequence.

 single.retryWhen(error -> {
     AtomicInteger counter = new AtomicInteger();
     return error.takeWhile(e -> counter.incrementAndGet() < 3).map(e -> "retry");
 }).subscribe(...);
 

Note that you must compose over the input Observable provided in the function call because retryWhen(rx.functions.Func1<rx.Observable<? extends java.lang.Throwable>, ? extends rx.Observable<?>>) expects an emission of the exception to be matched by an event from the handler Observable.

Scheduler:

retryWhen operates by default on the trampoline Scheduler.

Parameters:

notificationHandler - receives an Observable of notifications with which a user can complete or error, aborting the retry

Returns:

the source Single modified with retry logic

using

@Beta
public static <T,Resource> Single<T> using(Func0<Resource> resourceFactory,
                                Func1<? super Resource,? extends Single<? extends T>> singleFactory,
                                Action1<? super Resource> disposeAction)

Constructs a Single that creates a dependent resource object which is disposed of on unsubscription.

Scheduler:

using does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T - the value type of the generated source

Resource - the type of the per-subscriber resource

Parameters:

resourceFactory - the factory function to create a resource object that depends on the Single

singleFactory - the factory function to create a Single

disposeAction - the function that will dispose of the resource

Returns:

the Single whose lifetime controls the lifetime of the dependent resource object

using

@Beta
public static <T,Resource> Single<T> using(Func0<Resource> resourceFactory,
                                Func1<? super Resource,? extends Single<? extends T>> singleFactory,
                                Action1<? super Resource> disposeAction,
                                boolean disposeEagerly)

Constructs a Single that creates a dependent resource object which is disposed of just before termination if you have set disposeEagerly to true and unsubscription does not occur before termination. Otherwise resource disposal will occur on unsubscription. Eager disposal is particularly appropriate for a synchronous Single that reuses resources. disposeAction will only be called once per subscription.

Scheduler:

using does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Type Parameters:

T - the value type of the generated source

Resource - the type of the per-subscriber resource

Parameters:

resourceFactory - the factory function to create a resource object that depends on the Single

singleFactory - the factory function to create a Single

disposeAction - the function that will dispose of the resource

disposeEagerly - if true then disposal will happen either on unsubscription or just before emission of a terminal event (onComplete or onError).

Returns:

the Single whose lifetime controls the lifetime of the dependent resource object

delaySubscription

@Beta
public final Single<T> delaySubscription(Observable<?> other)

Returns a Single that delays the subscription to this Single until the Observable completes. In case the onError of the supplied observer throws, the exception will be propagated to the downstream subscriber and will result in skipping the subscription of this Single.

Scheduler:

This method does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.

Parameters:

other - the Observable that should trigger the subscription to this Single.

Returns:

a Single that delays the subscription to this Single until the Observable emits an element or completes normally.
