Android Room with RXJava2; onNext() of emitter is not properly triggered - rx-java2

Question

I am switching from async tasks to rxjava2 and have some issues with my code tests.
I have a room table of elements that have a certain monetary amount. On a usercontrol that is called DisplayCurrentBudget, a sum of all amounts should be displayed. This number must refresh everytime a new element is inserted. I tackled the requirement in two ways, but both produce the same result: My code does not care if the database is updated, it only updates when the fragment is recreated (onCreateView).
My first attempt was this:
//RxJava2 Test
Observable<ItemS> ItemObservable = Observable.create( emitter -> {
try {
List<ItemS> movies = oStandardModel.getItemsVanilla();
for (ItemS movie : movies) {
emitter.onNext(movie);
}
emitter.onComplete();
} catch (Exception e) {
emitter.onError(e);
}
});
DisposableObserver<ItemS> disposable = ItemObservable.
subscribeOn(Schedulers.io()).
observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread()).
subscribeWith(new DisposableObserver<ItemS>() {
public List<ItemS> BadFeelingAboutThis = new ArrayList<ItemS>();
#Override
public void onNext(ItemS movie) {
// Access your Movie object here
BadFeelingAboutThis.add(movie);
}
#Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
// Show the user that an error has occurred
}
#Override
public void onComplete() {
// Show the user that the operation is complete
oBinding.DisplayCurrentBudget.setText(Manager.GetBigSum(BadFeelingAboutThis).toString());
}
});
I already was uncomfortable with that code. My second attempt produces the exact same result:
Observable<BigDecimal> ItemObservable2 = Observable.create( emitter -> {
try {
BigDecimal mySum = oStandardModel.getWholeBudget();
emitter.onNext(mySum);
emitter.onComplete();
} catch (Exception e) {
emitter.onError(e);
}
});
DisposableObserver<BigDecimal> disposable = ItemObservable2.
subscribeOn(Schedulers.io()).
observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread()).
subscribeWith(new DisposableObserver<BigDecimal>() {
#Override
public void onNext(BigDecimal sum) {
// Access your Movie object here
oBinding.DisplayCurrentBudget.setText(sum.toString());
}
#Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
// Show the user that an error has occurred
}
#Override
public void onComplete() {
// Show the user that the operation is complete
}
});
Any obvious issues with my code?
Thanks for reading, much appreciate it!
Edit:
I was asked what Manager.GetBigSum does, it actually does not do much. It only adds BigDecimal-Values of an Item list.
public static BigDecimal GetBigSum(List<ItemS> ListP){
List<BigDecimal> bigDList = ListP.stream().map(ItemS::get_dAmount).collect(Collectors.toList());
return bigDList.stream()
.reduce(BigDecimal.ZERO, BigDecimal::add);
}
Further, I simplified the query. But it still does not care about DB updates, only about fragment recreation:
Single.fromCallable(() -> oStandardModel.getItemsVanilla())
.map(Manager::GetBigSum)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(
e -> oBinding.DisplayCurrentBudget.setText(e.toString())
);

Answer 1

Your rx logic has no error. That should be internal error in your getWholeBudget.
But why you write rx so complex?
For your case, you can just write:
Single.fromCallable(() -> oStandardModel.getItemsVanilla())
.map(Manager::GetBigSum)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(
e -> oBinding.DisplayCurrentBudget.setText(sum.toString()),
e -> log.error(e));

Answer 2

I solved it this way:
oStandardModel.getItemJointCatLive().observe(this, new Observer<List<ItemJointCat>>() {
#Override
public void onChanged(#Nullable final List<ItemJointCat> oItemSP) {
Single.fromCallable(() -> oStandardModel.getWholeBudget())
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(
e -> oBinding.DisplayCurrentBudget.setText(e.toString())
);
}
});
My mistake was that I assumed RXjava2 does not need an onchanged event...now i just use onchanged event of livedata observer to trigger a simple rxjava2 query.
Do you think there is anything wrong with that approach?
