rxjava2-android-samples is a collection of example projects that teach RxJava 2 usage in Android development.
The project addresses the learning curve for developers adopting RxJava 2 or migrating from RxJava 1.x. It demonstrates how to use RxJava 2, which was completely rewritten on top of the Reactive-Streams specification. The repository provides working examples of key operators including Map, FlatMap, Filter, Zip, Take, Reduce, Skip, Buffer, Concat, Replay, Merge, and SwitchMap, showing how each transforms or combines Observable emissions in practical Android contexts.
This project suits developers new to reactive programming or those transitioning from RxJava 1.x who want to learn through concrete, runnable examples rather than documentation alone. The examples are organized by operator, making it straightforward to find and study specific functionality. Developers can build the project directly and explore how each operator works in an Android environment.
The repository is structured as an educational resource with accompanying blog posts explaining key concepts like the distinction between Map and FlatMap operators. The project includes integration guidance for adding RxJava 2 and RxAndroid libraries to an application's build configuration, helping developers move from examples to their own implementations.
