Limit a stream by a predicate

Question

Is there a Java 8 stream operation that limits a (potentially infinite) Stream until the first element fails to match a predicate?

In Java 9 we can use

Answer 1

You can use java8 + rxjava.

import java.util.stream.IntStream;
import rx.Observable;


// Example 1)
IntStream intStream  = IntStream.iterate(1, n -> n + 1);
Observable.from(() -> intStream.iterator())
    .takeWhile(n ->
          {
                System.out.println(n);
                return n < 10;
          }
    ).subscribe() ;


// Example 2
IntStream intStream  = IntStream.iterate(1, n -> n + 1);
Observable.from(() -> intStream.iterator())
    .takeWhile(n -> n < 10)
    .forEach( n -> System.out.println(n));
