问题
I'm learning android development I'm using RXJava with retrofit to interact with an API. So i've successfully managed to GET Data from my API. The problem now is that the program continues before the data has been fetched. How can I wait for the data to be downloaded from the API and then run some function?
I have a retrofit client as shown
public class RetrofitClient {
private static Retrofit retrofit = null;
private RetrofitClient() {
}
public static Retrofit getClient(String baseUrl) {
if (retrofit == null) {
retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(baseUrl)
.addConverterFactory(SimpleXmlConverterFactory.create())
.addCallAdapterFactory(RxJavaCallAdapterFactory.create())
.build();
}
return retrofit;
}
}
I do an API call as such.
public void getData(MyFragment Fragment) {
mAPIService.getData()
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Subscriber<Data>() {
@Override
public void onCompleted() {
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
Log.i("ERROR IN GET DATA", e.toString());
}
@Override
public void onNext(Data response) {
Log.i("MY DATA", response.toString());
fragment.downloadData(response);
}
});
}
the problem is my android application does not wait for fragment.downloadData(response) to finish but instead continues executing code and then crashes because response is null.
I have a listener on a button that when clicked gets data from the API
button.setOnClickListener(v ->{
APICaller.getData(this);
Log.i("TEST", data.ToString()); //THIS IS NULL
});
This is the downloadData function that I run from the APICaller
public void downloadData(Data data) {
this.data = data;
}

You need to be waiting for your RxJava stream to emit a value (either error or response).
Firstly, for this, if you're expecting a "single" emission, success or failure, I would use a Single
. At the moment it looks your mAPIService.getData()
method is returning an Observable
. These are meant for streams that are going to emit multiple values which in your cause I am assuming is not what is going to happen. You only have one item that is going to be emitted so I would look at returning a Single
. Not part of your question but FYI.
What I like to do is to tell my UI that whatever I'm doing is "loading", normally in the doOnSubscribe
. Then the UI knows to show a loading icon or to not allow user interactions or something. Something like this (nb. notice how its after the observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread)
. Any time you interact with UI elements, do it on the main thread. I think this will do it):
mAPIService.getData()
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.doOnSubscribe(new Consumer<Disposable>() {
@Override
public void accept(Disposable disposable) throws Exception {
fragment.loading();
}
})
Then when either the onError
or onSuccess
returns in your subscription, that is where you tell the UI it's ready to proceed. You then either have a valid response or can show the error to the user.
EDIT: Reactive Programming
After your comments it looks like you do not understand reactive programming. It has a bit of a steep learning curve and I still struggle with it today.
Your APICaller
class, whatever it is, should return the Observable
itself. You shouldn't be passing in a Fragment
to this and handling it within there as you're opening yourself up to memory leaks and its a bit of a code smell. A better option is to just return the Observable
returned by mAPIService.getData()
. That's it. At the moment you are pushing the Observable
to another thread using Schedulers.io()
which says to your main thread, carry on and don't wait for me. You then come back to this thread when a response is emitted using the code .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
In your fragment is then where you handle the emission of a value or an error. Your fragment code then becomes:
button.setOnClickListener(v ->{
APICaller.getData()
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Subscriber<Data>() {
@Override
public void onCompleted() {
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
Log.i("ERROR IN GET DATA", e.toString());
}
@Override
public void onNext(Data response) {
Log.i("MY DATA", response.toString());
this.data = response
Log.i("TEST: "+data.toString());
}
});
});
I would like to recommend you watch some tutorials, do some reading and I'd also like to refer you back to my point about Single
s at the start
