The Complete Guide to RxJava
Learn Rx for easy multi-threading implementation and much more
RxJava is one of the most familiar and best frameworks for multi-threading across multiple platforms. Every developer at some point may encounter a situation of handling threads.
It’s not only the case if you want to differentiate yourself from others and try something new every day. But one would understand how much mess it was managing and maintaining these threads without any libraries.
To learn about the basics of threading, please check out my post on threading in Android.
The core part of Rx is multi-threading, however; it has some other interesting features to explore. It is basically an Observer pattern which we can use as per our requirements.
There are various benefits of using Rx:
- Memory leaks could be greatly reduced.
- RxJava will free us from the callback hell.
- Easy to manage huge chunks of data flow.
- Handling multiple network or database requests with simple code.
These are some facts to illustrate the importance of RxJava but there are many things that you will understand once you start to learn about Rx.
This article is just to keep all articles related to RxJava by me in one place. I will keep updating this with the latest Rx Java articles that I publish.
