RxJava : How to handle error with zip operator ?

问题:

I am using RxJava and RxAndroid with Retrofit2.

Observable<ResponseOne> responseOneObservable = getRetrofitClient().getDataOne()
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread());

Observable<ResponseTwo> responseTwoObservable = getRetrofitClient().getDataTwo()
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread());

Using zip operator as below on above two Observer.

 Observable<ArrayList<TestData>> testDataObservable = Observable.zip(responseOneObservable, responseTwoObservable, new Func2<ResponseOne, ResponseTwo, ArrayList<TestData>>() {
            @Override
                public ArrayList<TestData> call(ResponseOne responseOne, ResponseTwo responseTwo) {
                  ArrayList<TestData> testDataList = new ArrayList();
                      // Add test data from response responseOne & responseTwo
                  return testDataList;
            } 
    })
    .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
    .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
    .subscribe(new Subscriber<ArrayList<TestData>>() {

        @Override
        public void onNext(ArrayList<TestData> testDataList) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onCompleted() {
            Log.d(TAG, "onCompleted" );
        }

        @Override
        public void onError(Throwable t) {
            Log.d(TAG, "onError Throwable: " + t.toString() );
        }
    });

If there is any error occurs during retrofit http call in responseOneObservable and responseTwoObservable then it will directly call onError method of subscriber of testDataObservable.

I want to continue in zip operator's call method even if anyone of two observable got success response.

How to handle error response using zip operator ?

回答1:

You can use onErrorResumeNext to return some Observable or onErrorReturn to return some default value to zip, like:

Observable.zip(
   responseOneObservable
       .onErrorReturn(new Func1<Throwable, ResponseOne>() {
        @Override
        public ResponseOne call(final Throwable throwable) {
            return new ResponseOne();
        }
    }),
   responseTwoObservable
       .onErrorReturn(new Func1<Throwable, ResponseTwo>() {
        @Override
        public ResponseTwo call(final Throwable throwable) {
            return new ResponseTwo();
        }
    }),
   ...

See onError handling for more info.

回答2:

You can return default response from either of two observables with onErrorResumeNext operator.

Observable<ResponseOne> responseOneObservable = getRetrofitClient().getDataOne()
    .onErrorResumeNext(throwable -> {/*some default value*/})
    .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
    .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread());

Observable<ResponseTwo> responseTwoObservable = getRetrofitClient().getDataTwo()
    .onErrorResumeNext(throwable -> {/*some default value*/})
    .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
    .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread());

回答3:

You should use onErrorResumeNext over the single zipped observables to instruct them emitting a default item in case of error.
