delay not working for ViewObservable?

[finian]

Sample codes below:

EditText editText = ...
ViewObservable.text(editText)
    .delay(1000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
    .subscribe(new Action1<EditText>() {
      @Override
      public void call(EditText editText) {
        Log.d("TAG", editText.getText().toString());
      }
    });

Nothing printed out as I type in the editText. But if I comment out the delay line, everything works fine. am I missing something?

It's probably the issue with the main thread. action after delay is executed on computation scheduler (see https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava/wiki/Scheduler#default-schedulers-for-rxjava-observable-operators)
So you end up working with view not from main thread.

Try to put .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread()) after delay line.

Update: or you can retrieve text value from EditText via map operator before the delay
