Class BidiStreamingCallable<RequestT,ResponseT> (2.9.0)

public abstract class BidiStreamingCallable<RequestT,ResponseT>

A BidiStreamingCallable is an immutable object which is capable of making RPC calls to bidirectional streaming API methods. Not all transports support streaming.

It is considered advanced usage for a user to create a BidiStreamingCallable themselves. This class is intended to be created by a generated client class, and configured by instances of StreamingCallSettings.Builder which are exposed through the client settings class.

Methods

bidiStreamingCall(ApiStreamObserver<ResponseT> responseObserver) (deprecated)

public ApiStreamObserver<RequestT> bidiStreamingCall(ApiStreamObserver<ResponseT> responseObserver)

(deprecated) Please use #splitCall(ResponseObserver) instead.

Conduct a bidirectional streaming call

Parameter
NameDescription
responseObserverApiStreamObserver<ResponseT>

ApiStreamObserver to observe the streaming responses

Returns
TypeDescription
ApiStreamObserver<RequestT>

ApiStreamObserver which is used for making streaming requests.

bidiStreamingCall(ApiStreamObserver<ResponseT> responseObserver, ApiCallContext context) (deprecated)

public ApiStreamObserver<RequestT> bidiStreamingCall(ApiStreamObserver<ResponseT> responseObserver, ApiCallContext context)

(deprecated) Please use #splitCall(ResponseObserver, ApiCallContext) instead.

Conduct a bidirectional streaming call with the given ApiCallContext.

Parameters
NameDescription
responseObserverApiStreamObserver<ResponseT>

ApiStreamObserver to observe the streaming responses

contextApiCallContext

ApiCallContext to provide context information for the RPC call.

Returns
TypeDescription
ApiStreamObserver<RequestT>

ApiStreamObserver which is used for making streaming requests.

call()

public BidiStream<RequestT,ResponseT> call()

Send requests and iterate over server responses.

This returns a live stream that must either be fully consumed or cancelled. Example usage:


 BidiStream
Returns
TypeDescription
BidiStream<RequestT,ResponseT>

call(ApiCallContext context)

public BidiStream<RequestT,ResponseT> call(ApiCallContext context)

Send requests and iterate over server responses.

This returns a live stream that must either be fully consumed or cancelled.

Parameter
NameDescription
contextApiCallContext
Returns
TypeDescription
BidiStream<RequestT,ResponseT>

call(BidiStreamObserver<RequestT,ResponseT> bidiObserver)

public void call(BidiStreamObserver<RequestT,ResponseT> bidiObserver)

Listens to server responses and send requests when the network is free. Example usage:


 final Iterator<Integer> sourceDataIterator = intCollection.iterator();
 BidiStreamObserver
Parameter
NameDescription

call(BidiStreamObserver<RequestT,ResponseT> bidiObserver, ApiCallContext context)

public void call(BidiStreamObserver<RequestT,ResponseT> bidiObserver, ApiCallContext context)

Listens to server responses and send requests when the network is free.

Parameters

internalCall(ResponseObserver<ResponseT> responseObserver, ClientStreamReadyObserver<RequestT> onReady, ApiCallContext context)

public abstract ClientStream<RequestT> internalCall(ResponseObserver<ResponseT> responseObserver, ClientStreamReadyObserver<RequestT> onReady, ApiCallContext context)

The "base" method from which other forms of calls are derived. Most users will not need to call this method directly.

However, it is public, since library authors might want to call this method in adaptor classes.

Parameters

splitCall(ResponseObserver<ResponseT> responseObserver)

public ClientStream<RequestT> splitCall(ResponseObserver<ResponseT> responseObserver)

Send requests to the server and listens to responses.

Example usage:


 ResponseObserver<String> responseObserver = new ResponseObserver<String>() {
   public void onStart(StreamController controller) {
     // no-op
   }

  public void onResponse(String response) {
    System.out.println(response);
  }

  public void onComplete() {
    System.out.println("done!");
  }

  public void onError(Throwable t) {
    System.out.println("error: " + t);
  }
 };

 ClientStream<Integer> clientStream = bidiStreamingCallable.splitCall(responseObserver);
 clientStream.send(42);
 clientStream.send(43);
 clientStream.close();
