[FIXED] Java 11: How to summarize two Single<Optional<>> in java?

Issue

Help please, How to summarize two Single<Optional> in java 11 ?

I am using RxJava but I don't think it means anything.

for example:

Single<Optional<MonetaryAmount>> first = someMethod1(a, b);
Single<Optional<MonetaryAmount>> second = someMethod2(a, b);

I want to do something like this not syntactically but logically

Single<Optional<MonetaryAmount>> result = first + second;

I tried to do something like this but it doesn't work in java 11

Single<Optional<MonetaryAmount>> result = Stream.concat(first, second)
                                                .reduce(MonetaryAmount::sum);

Do you have some idea ?

Solution

Use concatMapSingle and mapOptional to get to the present values:

Observable<Single<Optional<MonetaryAmount>>> amounts = 
    Observable.fromArray(first, second);

amounts.concatMapSingle(v -> v)
.mapOptional(v -> v) // RxJava 3
.reduce(MonetaryAmount::sum)
;

For RxJava 2, use a filter+map combo:

.filter(Optional::isPresent)
.map(Optional::get)
