RxJava 2 for the rest of us

on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

RxJava 2 is a full rewrite that splits Observable and Flowable so Flowable supports backpressure while Observable does not; the talk shows an Android RFID inventory app that maps, filters, groupBy requires completion, flatMaps and reduces streams to emit one count per SKU and it works but demands learning many operators (≈100 available, ~20 commonly used). Practical tips: hold disposables (CompositeDisposable), always provide error handlers, compose observables into smaller functions, and apply schedulers late.
