Notify Observer when item is added to List of LiveData

Question

I need to get an Observer event when the item is added to the List of LiveData. But as far as I understand the event receives only when I replace the old list with a new one

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem and decided that adding "value = value" or a call to another method everywhere was too much of a pain and very error-prone.

So, I created my own classes that wrap the collections. Observe will now observe the contents of the collection instead of the collection itself.

The code is available on GitHub at: ObservableCollections

This is a FIRST version so please excuse any problems. It is not yet available for gradle include so you will have to download it and add it as a library module to you application.

At present it includes the following collections:

ArrayDeque
ArrayList
LinkedList
Queue
Stack
Vector

More will be added as time allows. Feel free to request specific ones.

And PLEASE report any problems.

Edit: It now includes far more collections. See there for details.
Also, it is available for include via gradle. Again, see there for details.
