RxJava

Since its inception in 2012, RxJava has slowly gained in popularity for enabling reactive programming on Android. It is now deemed as the go-to and leading reactive library. Many companies have adopted the reactive way of programming, including Google, with its release of Android Architecture Components, which has many reactive elements in its design.

In this course, you will learn the fundamental principles of RxJava which will serve as a foundation for experienced Android developers who are new to the library and want to start integrating it into their apps.

Reactive Programming with RxJava

UI events, such as `Button` clicks or changes in an `EditText`, are another good place to use RxJava. An open-source library, [RxBinding](https://github.com/JakeWharton/RxBinding), created by Jake Wharton, provides the necessary bindings to turn `View` events into `Observable` streams.

Using RxBinding, we can turn `View` click events into an `Observable`.

Observable<Object> clicks = RxView.clicks(view);
clicks.subscribe(obj -> {
    // Get click events here
});

# Example
This example is quite simple, but the benefits of using Rxjava become apparent when used in conjunction with operators. Say, for example, we wanted to detect double clicks, or two clicks that happen within 300 milliseconds apart.
