A from-scratch, re-implementation of RxAndroid with a consistent, opinionated API.
This library will not have releases and is subject to deletion at any time.
Weak references should not be used. RxJava's subscription graph allows for proper garbage collections of reference-holding objects provided the caller unsubscribes.
Mapping an observable to an Android event (e.g., view clicks) is a direct mapping. The
library is not responsible for supporting multiple observables bound to the same view.
Multiple listeners to the same view events can be achieved through share().
Naming conventions of classes and their packages should provide unambiguous information
on where functionality can be found. Helpers for platform classes can be found in packages
of the same name but prefixed with rx. and classes of the same name but prefixed with Rx.
For example, android.widget.TextView helpers are in rx.android.widget.RxTextView.
Observable factory method names is the plural of the verb (e.g., click --> clicks()). The verb
should be in the present tense, regardless of the platform's use (e.g., selected -> selection).
When there are multiple versions of the same verb, prefix with a qualifying noun or adjective that
differentiates (e.g., click vs. long click, item selection vs. nothing selection).
Each observable method factory also has an overload named in the singular and suffixed with "Events". This overload emits wrapper objects containing additional information about the event (origin view, timestamp). The name of the wrapper object is the concatenation of the view simple name, the verb (with optional adverb prefix), and "Event". These classes are in the public API.
Events for listeners with multiple methods should share an abstract base class. The naming follows
the same rules as a normal event class but without the qualifying prefix. An inner enum named
"Kind" and associated getter named "kind" should be present on the class. The constructor should
be package-private to prevent subclasses other than those defined for the listener methods. This
class should be in the public API.
The name of the OnSubscribe class for each observable is the concatenation of the view simple
name, the verb (with optional prefix), and "OnSubscribe". These classes not in the public API.
Action factory method names are the property prefixed with "set" (e.g., setEnabled). If the
associated listener has a return value, an overload that accepts a Func1<E, T> named "handled"
will be present for determining that value. No error handling will be done. These classes are not
in the public API and are currently defined anonymously.
(TODO just name these with the property? i.e., enabled)
