how can replace Thread.sleep() with RXJava

Question

when I use Thread.sleep() for the delay in my app I get crash InterruptedException .

I have to use Thread.sleep() because I send Command to hardware and need to get data after 1 second.

can I use RX java for this problem? or other ways?

Answer 1

Yes you can replace Thread.sleep() in RX java using delay in Observable. Here how to do it:

Observable.delay(5000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)

using interval will do thing infinite time at the interval of provided time.

Answer 2

Use interval in RxJava

Observable.interval(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
