PublishSubject emits items to currently subscribed Observers and terminal events to current or late Observers.
Following is the declaration for io.reactivex.subjects.PublishSubject<T> class −
public final class PublishSubject<T> extends Subject<T>
Create the following Java program using any editor of your choice in, say, C:\> RxJava.
import io.reactivex.subjects.PublishSubject; public class ObservableTester { public static void main(String[] args) { final StringBuilder result1 = new StringBuilder(); final StringBuilder result2 = new StringBuilder(); PublishSubject<String> subject = PublishSubject.create(); subject.subscribe(value -> result1.append(value) ); subject.onNext("a"); subject.onNext("b"); subject.onNext("c"); subject.subscribe(value -> result2.append(value)); subject.onNext("d"); subject.onComplete(); //Output will be abcd System.out.println(result1); //Output will be d only //as subscribed after c item emitted. System.out.println(result2); } }
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 −
abcd d
