E - the class of objects in list.public class RealmList<E> extends AbstractList<E> implements OrderedRealmCollection<E>
RealmObject.
RealmList has two modes: A managed and unmanaged mode. In managed mode all objects are persisted inside a Realm, in
unmanaged mode it works as a normal ArrayList.
Only Realm can create managed RealmLists. Managed RealmLists will automatically update the content whenever the
underlying Realm is updated, and can only be accessed using the getter of a RealmObject.
Unmanaged RealmLists can be created by the user and can contain both managed and unmanaged RealmObjects. This is
useful when dealing with JSON deserializers like GSON or other frameworks that inject values into a class.
Unmanaged elements in this list can be added to a Realm using the Realm.copyToRealm(Iterable) method.
RealmList can contain more elements than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
In that case, you can access only first Integer.MAX_VALUE elements in it.

Collection if one
is contained. This implementation iterates over this
Collection and tests each element e returned by the iterator,
whether e is equal to the given object. If object != null
then this test is performed using object.equals(e), otherwise
using object == null. If an element equal to the given object is
found, then the remove method is called on the iterator and
true is returned, false otherwise. If the iterator does
not support removing elements, an UnsupportedOperationException
is thrown.remove in interface Collection<E>remove in interface List<E>remove in class AbstractCollection<E>object - the object to remove.true if this Collection is modified, false otherwise.ClassCastException - if the object passed is not of the correct type.NullPointerException - if object is null.public boolean removeAll(Collection<?> collection)

anymore.
This implementation iterates over the Collection and tests each
element e returned by the iterator, whether it is contained in

If you would like the asFlowable() to stop emitting items you can instruct RxJava to
only emit only the first item by using the first() operator:
list.asFlowable()

time an RealmList is emitted.
RealmList will continually be emitted as the RealmList is updated - onComplete will never be called.
* Note that when the Realm is accessed from threads other than where it was created,
IllegalStateException will be thrown. Care should be taken when using different schedulers

Registering a change listener will not prevent the underlying RealmList from being garbage collected. If the RealmList is garbage collected, the change listener will stop being triggered. To avoid this, keep a strong reference for as long as appropriate e.g. in a class variable.
