#How to listen for two separate get requests to return data

I am returning data from two different api calls and once data is returned I need to combine parts of each list into a new list. My api calls are asynchronous and I'm unsure how to add a listener/observable to signal when both lists have returned data. Grateful for suggestions!

In the modern world, it is assumed that you want to run a kubernetes swarm, and these two requests of yours are likely to end up on two different servers.

So to link them both you're supposed to back them to a common data holder component between these two servers. Like a database or a distributed cache.

Anytime a server receives one such request, it would query the common data to check whether the other part is there. If so, it completes the operation. If not, it stores the part it just received.

That's the general viewpoint of the technologies you're using. You can follow them to the letter or adapt to it any way you see fit

Thanks for your response. My question is in regards to an Android app (I know there is Discord for Android, but Java questions aren't usually answered). There is no common data between the two lists. Is the Java-help chat just for backend or web projects? Apologies if it is.

That's not it, sorry, the way you describe your problem it looked like you were on the server side

#

Normally you should have a common state data structure that you save the result into, and when both results are obtained, you do what comes next.
But I don't know the specifics of Android
