What thread will be used when calling subscribeOn inside flatMapCompletable?












0















I have a completable that I create like so:



public class Params {
// Contains input parameters
}

public Completable startSomething(Params params) {
return Completable
.fromRunnable(() -> someMainThreadThing(params))
.subscribeOn(this.schedulers.mainThread());
}


Now, I have a source providing a Single<Params>. This is provided as part of the API, so the current thread is unknown at subscribe time. This usage looks something like this:



public Completable doSomethingWithParams(Single<Params> params) {
// Do something with the params
}


I would like to implement doSomethingWithParams like so:



public Completable doSomethingWithParams(Single<Params> params) {
return params.flatMapCompletable(::startSomething);
}


My question is, is someMainThreadThing guaranteed to be executed on the main thread, or can the setup of the Single<Params> influence the thread it is executed on?

  • Yes, this setup guarantees someMainThreadThing runs on the main thread and completes there too because of subscribeOn applied to the inner Completable.

According to documentation Single.flatMapCompletable()




flatMapCompletable does not operate by default on a particular Scheduler.




That means that completable with startSomething() will be invoked on the same scheduler (thread) as previous chain actions if you don't call explicitly switching between schedulers.



To switch between schedulers you can use observeOn() operator. In your case reactive chain could look like



Single.fromCallable(getParams())
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(this.schedulers.mainThread())
.flatMapCompletable(::startSomething)


In that case subscribeOn() make executing getParams() on Schedulers.io(), after that observeOn() switches to main thread and execute startSomething() on it.
