在说Observer与Subscriber的关系之前,我们下重温下相关概念。
RxJava 的观察者模式
RxJava 有四个基本概念:Observable (可观察者,即被观察者)、 Observer (观察者)、 subscribe (订阅)、事件。Observable 和 Observer 通过 subscribe() 方法实现订阅关系,从而 Observable 可以在需要的时候发出事件来通知 Observer。
与传统观察者模式不同, RxJava 的事件回调方法除了普通事件 onNext() (相当于 onClick() / onEvent())之外,还定义了两个特殊的事件:onCompleted() 和 onError()。
- onCompleted(): 事件队列完结。RxJava 不仅把每个事件单独处理,还会把它们看做一个队列。RxJava 规定,当不会再有新的 onNext() 发出时,需要触发 onCompleted() 方法作为标志。
- onError(): 事件队列异常。在事件处理过程中出异常时,onError() 会被触发,同时队列自动终止,不允许再有事件发出。
- 在一个正确运行的事件序列中, onCompleted() 和 onError() 有且只有一个,并且是事件序列中的最后一个。需要注意的是,onCompleted() 和 onError() 二者也是互斥的,即在队列中调用了其中一个,就不应该再调用另一个。
RxJava 的观察者模式大致如下图:
RxJava的实现
基于以上的概念, RxJava 的基本实现主要有三点:
1) 创建 Observer
Observer 即观察者,它决定事件触发的时候将有怎样的行为。 RxJava 中的 Observer 接口的实现方式:
Observer<Apps> observer = new Observer<Apps>() {
@Override
public void onCompleted() {
listView.onRefreshComplete();
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
listView.onRefreshComplete();
}
@Override
public void onNext(Apps appsList) {
listView.onRefreshComplete();
appLists.addAll(appsList.apps);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
};
除了 Observer 接口之外,RxJava 还内置了一个实现了 Observer 的抽象类:Subscriber。 Subscriber 对 Observer 接口进行了一些扩展,但他们的基本使用方式是完全一样的:
Subscriber subscriber = new Subscriber<Apps>() {
@Override
public void onCompleted() {
listView.onRefreshComplete();
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
listView.onRefreshComplete();
}
@Override
public void onNext(Apps appsList) {
listView.onRefreshComplete();
appLists.addAll(appsList.apps);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
};
不仅基本使用方式一样,实质上,在 RxJava 的 subscribe 过程中,Observer 也总是会先被转换成一个 Subscriber 再使用。所以如果你只想使用基本功能,选择 Observer 和 Subscriber 是完全一样的。
Subscriber是Observer的实现类
public abstract class Subscriber<T> implements Observer<T>, Subscription
而onStart()方法是Subscriber中的一个方法。它也属于回调级别的。
subscribe(Subscriber)方法中有如下代码:
// if not already wrapped 包裹一层
if (!(subscriber instanceof SafeSubscriber)) {
// assign to `observer` so we return the protected version
subscriber = new SafeSubscriber<T>(subscriber);
}
他将subscriber包装起来,这个具体什么意思有待研究,继续下看。
hook.onSubscribeStart(observable, observable.onSubscribe).call(subscriber);
return hook.onSubscribeReturn(subscriber);
hook是什么呢?
private static final RxJavaObservableExecutionHook hook = RxJavaPlugins.getInstance().getObservableExecutionHook();

RxJavaObservableExecutionHook类的作用很特殊,似乎没有什么太大的作用,传进去什么(类型)参数,返回什么(类型)参数。
如下代码所示:
public <T> OnSubscribe<T> onCreate(OnSubscribe<T> f) {
return f;
}
public <T> OnSubscribe<T> onSubscribeStart(Observable<? extends T> observableInstance, final OnSubscribe<T> onSubscribe) {
// pass-thru by default
return onSubscribe;
}
至于最后关键的返回结果:
public <T> Subscription onSubscribeReturn(Subscription subscription) {
// pass-thru by default
return subscription;
}
说白了,就是返回订阅的Observer对象。
Observer与Subscriber的区别
它们的区别对于使用者来说主要有两点:
- onStart(): 这是 Subscriber 增加的方法。它会在 subscribe 刚开始,而事件还未发送之前被调用,可以用于做一些准备工作,例如数据的清零或重置。这是一个可选方法,默认情况下它的实现为空。需要注意的是,如果对准备工作的线程有要求(例如弹出一个显示进度的对话框,这必须在主线程执行), onStart() 就不适用了,因为它总是在 subscribe 所发生的线程被调用,而不能指定线程。要在指定的线程来做准备工作,可以使用 doOnSubscribe() 方法,具体可以在后面的文中看到。
- unsubscribe(): 这是 Subscriber 所实现的另一个接口 Subscription 的方法,用于取消订阅。在这个方法被调用后,Subscriber 将不再接收事件。一般在这个方法调用前,可以使用 isUnsubscribed() 先判断一下状态。 unsubscribe() 这个方法很重要,因为在 subscribe() 之后, Observable 会持有 Subscriber 的引用,这个引用如果不能及时被释放,将有内存泄露的风险。所以最好保持一个原则:要在不再使用的时候尽快在合适的地方(例如 onPause() onStop() 等方法中)调用 unsubscribe() 来解除引用关系,以避免内存泄露的发生。
2) 创建 Observable
Observable 即被观察者,它决定什么时候触发事件以及触发怎样的事件。 RxJava 使用 create() 方法来创建一个 Observable ,并为它定义事件触发规则:
Observable observable = Observable.create(new Observable.OnSubscribe<String>() {
@Override
public void call(Subscriber<? super String> subscriber) {
subscriber.onNext("Hello");
subscriber.onNext("John");
subscriber.onCompleted();
}
});
可以看到,这里传入了一个 OnSubscribe 对象作为参数。OnSubscribe 会被存储在返回的 Observable 对象中,它的作用相当于一个计划表,当 Observable 被订阅的时候,OnSubscribe 的 call() 方法会自动被调用,事件序列就会依照设定依次触发(对于上面的代码,就是观察者Subscriber 将会被调用两次 onNext() 和一次 onCompleted())。这样,由被观察者调用了观察者的回调方法,就实现了由被观察者向观察者的事件传递,即观察者模式。
create() 是 RxJava 最基本的创造事件序列的操作符。基于这个操作符, RxJava 还提供了一些方法用来快捷创建事件队列,详见RxJava操作符系列文章:http://blog.csdn.net/jdsjlzx/article/details/51485861
3) Subscribe (订阅)
创建了 Observable 和 Observer 之后,再用 subscribe() 方法将它们联结起来,整条链子就可以工作了。代码形式很简单:
observable.subscribe(observer);
// 或者:
observable.subscribe(subscriber);
Observable.subscribe(Subscriber) 的内部实现是这样的(仅核心代码):
public final Subscription subscribe(Subscriber<? super T> subscriber) {
return Observable.subscribe(subscriber, this);
}
private static <T> Subscription subscribe(Subscriber<? super T> subscriber, Observable<T> observable) {
// validate and proceed
if (subscriber == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("observer can not be null");
}
if (observable.onSubscribe == null) {
throw new IllegalStateException("onSubscribe function can not be null.");
/*
* the subscribe function can also be overridden but generally that's not the appropriate approach
* so I won't mention that in the exception
*/
}
// new Subscriber so onStart it
subscriber.onStart();
/*
* See https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava/issues/216 for discussion on "Guideline 6.4: Protect calls
* to user code from within an Observer"
*/
// if not already wrapped
if (!(subscriber instanceof SafeSubscriber)) {
// assign to `observer` so we return the protected version
subscriber = new SafeSubscriber<T>(subscriber);
}
// The code below is exactly the same an unsafeSubscribe but not used because it would
// add a significant depth to already huge call stacks.
try {
// allow the hook to intercept and/or decorate
hook.onSubscribeStart(observable, observable.onSubscribe).call(subscriber);
return hook.onSubscribeReturn(subscriber);
} catch (Throwable e) {
// special handling for certain Throwable/Error/Exception types
Exceptions.throwIfFatal(e);
// if an unhandled error occurs executing the onSubscribe we will propagate it
try {
subscriber.onError(hook.onSubscribeError(e));
} catch (Throwable e2) {
Exceptions.throwIfFatal(e2);
// if this happens it means the onError itself failed (perhaps an invalid function implementation)
// so we are unable to propagate the error correctly and will just throw
RuntimeException r = new RuntimeException("Error occurred attempting to subscribe [" + e.getMessage() + "] and then again while trying to pass to onError.", e2);
// TODO could the hook be the cause of the error in the on error handling.
hook.onSubscribeError(r);
// TODO why aren't we throwing the hook's return value.
throw r;
}
return Subscriptions.unsubscribed();
}
}
可以看到,subscriber() 做了3件事:
- 调用 Subscriber.onStart() 。这个方法在前面已经介绍过,是一个可选的准备方法。
- 调用 Observable 中的 OnSubscribe.call(Subscriber) 。在这里,事件发送的逻辑开始运行。从这也可以看出,在 RxJava 中, Observable 并不是在创建的时候就立即开始发送事件,而是在它被订阅的时候,即当 subscribe() 方法执行的时候。
- 将传入的 Subscriber 作为 Subscription 返回。这是为了方便 unsubscribe().
整个过程中对象间的关系如下图:
除了 subscribe(Observer) 和 subscribe(Subscriber) ,subscribe() 还支持不完整定义的回调,RxJava 会自动根据定义创建出 Subscriber 。形式如下:
Action1<String> onNextAction = new Action1<String>() {
// onNext()
@Override
public void call(String s) {
Log.d(tag, s);
}
};
Action1<Throwable> onErrorAction = new Action1<Throwable>() {
// onError()
@Override
public void call(Throwable throwable) {
// Error handling
}
};
Action0 onCompletedAction = new Action0() {
// onCompleted()
@Override
public void call() {
Log.d(tag, "completed");
}
};
// 自动创建 Subscriber ,并使用 onNextAction 来定义 onNext()
observable.subscribe(onNextAction);
// 自动创建 Subscriber ,并使用 onNextAction 和 onErrorAction 来定义 onNext() 和 onError()
observable.subscribe(onNextAction, onErrorAction);
// 自动创建 Subscriber ,并使用 onNextAction、 onErrorAction 和 onCompletedAction 来定义 onNext()、 onError() 和 onCompleted()
observable.subscribe(onNextAction, onErrorAction, onCompletedAction);
注:正如前面所提到的,Observer 和 Subscriber 具有相同的角色,而且 Observer 在 subscribe() 过程中最终会被转换成 Subscriber 对象,因此,从某种程度上来说用 Subscriber 来代替 Observer ,这样会更加严谨。
根据目前的经验来看,Observer与Subscriber的主要区别在于onNext方法执行完毕后是否取消了订阅。
首先,我们分别定义mSubscriber 和 mObserver 。
如下代码:
protected Subscriber<D> mSubscriber = new Subscriber<D>() {
@Override
public void onCompleted() {
executeOnLoadFinish();
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
TLog.error("onError " + e.toString());
executeOnLoadDataError(null);
}
@Override
public void onNext(D d) {
TLog.log("onNext " );
List<T> list = d;
TLog.log("entity " + list.size());
executeOnLoadDataSuccess(list);
TLog.log("onSuccess totalPage " + totalPage);
}
};
protected Observer<D> mObserver = new Observer<D>() {
@Override
public void onCompleted() {
executeOnLoadFinish();
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
TLog.error("onError " + e.toString());
executeOnLoadDataError(null);
}
@Override
public void onNext(D d) {
TLog.log("onNext " );
List<T> list = d;
TLog.log("entity " + list.size());
executeOnLoadDataSuccess(list);
TLog.log("onSuccess totalPage " + totalPage);
}
};
observable.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.map(new Func1<Response<D>,D>() {
@Override
public D call(Response<D> response) {
if(response == null){
throw new ApiException(100);
}
totalPage = response.total;
return response.result;
}
})
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
//.subscribe(mObserver);
.subscribe(mSubscriber);
subscribe(mObserver)和subscribe(mSubscriber)执行结果就会有区别:
- subscribe(mSubscriber)这种订阅方式在第二次请求数据时就不会执行了,原因就是onCompleted后自动取消了订阅
(详见文章:http://blog.csdn.net/jdsjlzx/article/details/51542003); - subscribe(mObserver)则不出现此问题。
提醒:个人以为subscribe(mObserver)这个方式更适合分页加载。
请注意,如果你每次都使用subscribe(new Subscriber< T>() {})方式实现订阅,就不会出现上面的问题。
如下代码:
private void toSubscribe(Observable<Response<D>> observable) {
observable.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.map(new Func1<Response<D>,D>() {
@Override
public D call(Response<D> response) {
if(response == null){
throw new ApiException(100);
}
totalPage = response.total;
return response.result;
}
})
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Subscriber<D>() {
@Override
public void onCompleted() {
executeOnLoadFinish();
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
TLog.error("onError " + e.toString());
executeOnLoadDataError(null);
}
@Override
public void onNext(D d) {
TLog.log("onNext " );
List<T> list = d;
TLog.log("entity " + list.size());
executeOnLoadDataSuccess(list);
TLog.log("onSuccess totalPage " + totalPage);
}
});
}
当然,这个方式实现分页加载也是可以的。至于哪个更好,还需要再验证。

Subscriber是Observer接口的一个抽象实现;推荐使用Subscriber,实际上RxJava在subscibe过程中,会先将Observer转换为一个Subscriber。
