RxJava - Conditional Operators

Following are the operators which evaluates one or multiple Observables or items emitted.

Sr.No. Operator & Description
1

All

Evaluates all items emitted to meet given criteria.
2

Amb

Emits all items from the first Observable only given multiple Observables.
3

Contains

Checks if an Observable emits a particular item or not.
4

DefaultIfEmpty

Emits default item if Observable do not emit anything.
5

SequenceEqual

Checks if two Observables emit the same sequence of items.
6

SkipUntil

Discards items emitted by first Observable until a second Observable emits an item.
7

SkipWhile

Discard items emitted by an Observable until a given condition becomes false.
8

TakeUntil

Discards items emitted by an Observable after a second Observable emits an item or terminates.
9

TakeWhile

Discard items emitted by an Observable after a specified condition becomes false.

Conditional Operator Example

Create the following Java program using any editor of your choice in, say, C:\> RxJava.

ObservableTester.java

import io.reactivex.Observable;
//Using defaultIfEmpty operator to operate on an Observable
public class ObservableTester  {
   public static void main(String[] args) {    
      final StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
      Observable.empty()
      .defaultIfEmpty("No Data")
      .subscribe(s -> result.append(s));
      System.out.println(result);
      String[] letters = {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g"};
      final StringBuilder result1 = new StringBuilder();
      Observable.fromArray(letters)
      .firstElement()
      .defaultIfEmpty("No data")   
      .subscribe(s -> result1.append(s));
      System.out.println(result1);
   }
}

Verify the Result

Compile the class using javac compiler as follows −

C:\RxJava>javac ObservableTester.java

Now run the ObservableTester as follows −

C:\RxJava>java ObservableTester

It should produce the following output −

No Data
