I'm using RxJava2, Kotlin-1.1 along with RxBindings in my project.
I have simple login screen with 'login' button disabled by default, I want to enable the button only when username and password edittext fields are not empty.
LoginActivity.java
Observable<Boolean> isFormEnabled =
Observable.combineLatest(mUserNameObservable, mPasswordObservable,
(userName, password) -> userName.length() > 0 && password.length() > 0)
.distinctUntilChanged();
I'm unable to translate the above code from Java to Kotlin:
LoginActivity.kt
class LoginActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
val disposable = CompositeDisposable()
private var userNameObservable: Observable<CharSequence>? = null
private var passwordObservable: Observable<CharSequence>? = null
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login)
initialize()
}
fun initialize() {
userNameObservable = RxTextView.textChanges(username).skip(1)
.debounce(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
passwordObservable = RxTextView.textChanges(password).skip(1)
.debounce(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
}
private fun setSignInButtonEnableListener() {
val isSignInEnabled: Observable<Boolean> = Observable.combineLatest(userNameObservable,
passwordObservable,
{ u: CharSequence, p: CharSequence -> u.isNotEmpty() && p.isNotEmpty() })
}
}
I assumed it's something related to type inference of the third argument in combinelatest
, but I don't get the issue properly by reading the error message:
Your issue is that the compiler can't figure out which override of combineLatest
to call, because multiple ones have functional interfaces as their third parameter. You can make the conversion explicit with a SAM constructor like this:
val isSignInEnabled: Observable<Boolean> = Observable.combineLatest(
userNameObservable,
passwordObservable,
BiFunction { u, p -> u.isNotEmpty() && p.isNotEmpty() })
Ps. Thanks for asking this question, it helped me figure out that I was initially wrong about this one that turns out to be the same problem, which I've now updated with this solution as well. https://stackoverflow.com/a/42636503/4465208
