RxJava delay for each item of list emitted

Question

I\'m struggling to implement something I assumed would be fairly simple in Rx.

I have a list of items, and I want to have each item emitted with a delay.

you should be able to achieve this by using Timer operator. I tried with delay but couldn't achieve the desired output. Note nested operations done in flatmap operator.

    Observable.range(1,5)
            .flatMap(x -> Observable.timer(50 * x, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                        .map(y -> x))
            // attach timestamp
            .timestamp()
            .subscribe(timedIntegers ->
                    Log.i(TAG, "Timed String: "
                            + timedIntegers.value()
                            + " "
                            + timedIntegers.time()));
