Class AsyncSubject<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - the type of item expected to be observed by the Subject
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    Observer<T>


    public final class AsyncSubject<T>
    extends Subject<T,T>
    Subject that publishes only the last item observed to each Observer that has subscribed, when the source Observable completes.

    Example usage:

      // observer will receive no onNext events because the subject.onCompleted() isn't called. AsyncSubject<Object> subject = AsyncSubject.create(); subject.subscribe(observer); subject.onNext("one"); subject.onNext("two"); subject.onNext("three"); // observer will receive "three" as the only onNext event. AsyncSubject<Object> subject = AsyncSubject.create(); subject.subscribe(observer); subject.onNext("one"); subject.onNext("two"); subject.onNext("three"); subject.onCompleted();

      • create

        public static <T> AsyncSubject<T> create()
        Creates and returns a new AsyncSubject.
        Type Parameters:
        T - the result value type
        Returns:
        the new AsyncSubject
      • hasObservers

        public boolean hasObservers()
        Description copied from class: Subject
        Indicates whether the Subject has Observers subscribed to it.
        Specified by:
        hasObservers in class  Subject<T,T>
        Returns:
        true if there is at least one Observer subscribed to this Subject, false otherwise
      • hasValue

        @Experimental
        public boolean hasValue()
        Check if the Subject has a value.

        Use the getValue() method to retrieve such a value.

        Note that unless hasCompleted() or hasThrowable() returns true, the value retrieved by getValue() may get outdated.

        Overrides:
        hasValue in class  Subject<T,T>
        Returns:
        true if and only if the subject has some value but not an error
      • hasThrowable

        @Experimental
        public boolean hasThrowable()
        Check if the Subject has terminated with an exception.
        Overrides:
        hasThrowable in class  Subject<T,T>
        Returns:
        true if the subject has received a throwable through onError.
      • hasCompleted

        @Experimental
        public boolean hasCompleted()
        Check if the Subject has terminated normally.
        Overrides:
        hasCompleted in class  Subject<T,T>
        Returns:
        true if the subject completed normally via onCompleted()
      • getValue

        @Experimental
        public T getValue()
        Returns the current value of the Subject if there is such a value and the subject hasn't terminated with an exception.

        The method can return null for various reasons. Use hasValue(), hasThrowable() and hasCompleted() to determine if such null is a valid value, there was an exception or the Subject terminated without receiving any value.

        Overrides:
        getValue in class  Subject<T,T>
        Returns:
        the current value or null if the Subject doesn't have a value, has terminated with an exception or has an actual null as a value.
      • getThrowable

        @Experimental
        public Throwable getThrowable()
        Returns the Throwable that terminated the Subject.
        Overrides:
        getThrowable in class  Subject<T,T>
        Returns:
        the Throwable that terminated the Subject or null if the subject hasn't terminated yet or it terminated normally.
      • getValues

        @Experimental
         @Deprecated
        public T[] getValues(T[] a)
        Deprecated. 
        Description copied from class: Subject
        Returns a snapshot of the currently buffered non-terminal events into the provided a array or creates a new array if it has not enough capacity.

        If the subject's values fit in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than the list), the element in the array immediately following the end of the subject's values is set to null.

        The operation is threadsafe.

        Overrides:
        getValues in class  Subject<T,T>
        Parameters:
        a - the array to fill in
        Returns:
        the array a if it had enough capacity or a new array containing the available values
