  rx.concurrency.Schedulers

public class Schedulers
extends java.lang.Object

Static factory methods for creating Schedulers.

Method Summary

static Scheduler	currentThread() Scheduler that queues work on the current thread to be executed after the current work completes.
static Scheduler	executor(java.util.concurrent.Executor executor) Scheduler that queues work on an Executor.
static Scheduler	executor(java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService executor) Scheduler that queues work on an ScheduledExecutorService.
static Scheduler	immediate() Scheduler that executes work immediately on the current thread.
static Scheduler	newThread() Scheduler that creates a new Thread for each unit of work.
static Scheduler	threadPoolForComputation() Scheduler intended for computational work.
static Scheduler	threadPoolForIO() Scheduler intended for IO-bound work.

Method Detail

immediate

public static Scheduler immediate()

Scheduler that executes work immediately on the current thread.

Returns:

ImmediateScheduler instance

currentThread

public static Scheduler currentThread()

Scheduler that queues work on the current thread to be executed after the current work completes.

Returns:

CurrentThreadScheduler instance

newThread

public static Scheduler newThread()

Scheduler that creates a new Thread for each unit of work.

Returns:

NewThreadScheduler instance

executor

public static Scheduler executor(java.util.concurrent.Executor executor)

Scheduler that queues work on an Executor.

Note that this does not support scheduled actions with a delay.

Returns:

ExecutorScheduler instance

executor

public static Scheduler executor(java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService executor)

Scheduler that queues work on an ScheduledExecutorService.

Returns:

ExecutorScheduler instance

threadPoolForComputation

public static Scheduler threadPoolForComputation()

Scheduler intended for computational work.

The implementation is backed by a ScheduledExecutorService thread-pool sized to the number of CPU cores.

This can be used for event-loops, processing callbacks and other computational work.

Do not perform IO-bound work on this scheduler. Use Schedulers.threadPoolForComputation() instead.

Returns:

ExecutorScheduler for computation-bound work.

threadPoolForIO

public static Scheduler threadPoolForIO()

Scheduler intended for IO-bound work.

The implementation is backed by an Executor thread-pool that will grow as needed.

This can be used for asynchronously performing blocking IO.

Do not perform computational work on this scheduler. Use Schedulers.threadPoolForComputation() instead.

Returns:

ExecutorScheduler for IO-bound work.
