RxJava for Android Developers: with ReactiveX and FRP

Book Description

Summary

RxJava for Android Developers teaches you how to build fast, fluid, and reactive mobile apps for Android with RxJava.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the Technology

For Android developers, writing multithreaded apps can be as challenging as it is necessary. RxJava simplifies complex threading operations, maintaining proper synchronization as you switch seamlessly from thread to thread. RxJava also brings the benefits of reactive programming to your apps—that means better real-time responsiveness, the holy grail for every Android developer.

About the Book

RxJava for Android Developers begins by inviting you to think about programming and data the reactive way. This engaging, hands-on essential reference introduces you to the central pattern of RxJava for Android, then explains the View Model before exploring highly sought-after app features like chat clients and elegant transitions. Finally, you’ll look at high-level design concerns and architectural approaches and frameworks that work well with Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) thinking.

What’s inside

• An introduction to reactive programming
• Easier thread management
• Improving UI responsiveness
• Thinking asynchronously
• Building a working chat client

About the Reader

Readers should have some experience building Android applications. No experience with RxJava is needed.

书名：面向Android开发人员的RxJava：使用Reactive X和FRP

摘要

面向Android开发人员的RxJava 教你如何使用RxJava为Android构建快速、流畅和反应迅速的移动应用程序。

购买纸质书包括从Manning Publications购买PDF、Kindle和ePub格式的免费电子书。

About the Technology

对于Android开发人员来说，编写多线程应用程序既是必要的，也是具有挑战性的。RxJava简化了复杂的线程操作，在您从一个线程无缝切换到另一个线程时保持了适当的同步。RxJava还为您的应用程序带来了反应式编程的好处–这意味着更好的实时响应能力，这是每个Android开发人员的圣杯。

About the Book

面向Android开发人员的RxJava 首先，邀请您以被动的方式思考编程和数据。这本引人入胜的实践基础参考向您介绍了RxJava for Android的中心模式，然后解释了View Model，然后探索了备受欢迎的应用程序功能，如聊天客户端和优雅的过渡。最后，您将了解使用函数式反应式编程(FRP)思想很好地工作的高级设计关注点和体系结构方法和框架。

What’s inside

• 反应式编程导论
• Easier thread management
• 提高用户界面响应性
• Thinking asynchronously
• 构建一个正常工作的聊天客户端

About the Reader

读者应该有一些构建Android应用程序的经验。不需要使用RxJava的经验。
