I have done research on this, and I know that RXJava is using the observable pattern, and Bolts is relying on an executor. What framework would be good for handling tasks that need to be done in sequences?
I've heard of using singleExecutors, queues, chaining asynctasks, and these two frameworks. I've seen more people using bolts vs. rxjava but am curious to hear about peoples experiences between the two.
Thanks!
I've used both in different projects and have done a migration from Bolts to RxJava. The simple answer to your question
What framework would be good for handling tasks that need to be done in sequences?
Is that you could easily use either framework to do this. They both:
However that is where Bolts functionality ends pretty much whilst RxJava just keeps on giving. The real power of RxJava lies in its operators which amongst other things allow you to transform, combine & filter data.
The learning curve for both frameworks is steep, RxJava is steeper...but it is considerably more powerful.
As an aside the method counts for the two libraries are
RxJava - 4605
Bolts - 479
