I use Retrofit to interact with a REST API and RxJava do manipulate the data I receive.
In the code snippet below I make an API call and use the map
operator to save the data I receive before moving on with other operations against the stream.
retrofitApi.registerDevice(mDevice)
.map(new Func1<Device, Device>() {
@Override
public Device call(Device device) {
// The only purpose of the map() operator
// is to save the received device.
magicBox.saveDeviceId(device.getId());
return device;
}
})
.otherOperations()...
My question is: is there a better operator for the job? I feel like I misuse the map
operator.
Following Egor's answer I did some research and, based on Dan Lew's blogpost and this question, the correct answer appears to be
doOnNext
.
