Hey, do have a minute for a quick survey on how we are doing with EventBus?

EventBus

EventBus is a publish/subscribe event bus for Android and Java.

EventBus...

  • simplifies the communication between components
    • decouples event senders and receivers
    • performs well with Activities, Fragments, and background threads
    • avoids complex and error-prone dependencies and life cycle issues
  • makes your code simpler
  • is fast
  • is tiny (~50k jar)
  • is proven in practice by apps with 100,000,000+ installs
  • has advanced features like delivery threads, subscriber priorities, etc.

Build Status

EventBus in 3 steps

  1. Define events:

    public static class MessageEvent { /* Additional fields if needed */ }

  2. Prepare subscribers: Declare and annotate your subscribing method, optionally specify a thread mode:

    @Subscribe(threadMode = ThreadMode.MAIN)  
public void onMessageEvent(MessageEvent event) {/* Do something */};

    Register and unregister your subscriber. For example on Android, activities and fragments should usually register according to their life cycle:

     @Override
 public void onStart() {
     super.onStart();
     EventBus.getDefault().register(this);
 }

 @Override
 public void onStop() {
     super.onStop();
     EventBus.getDefault().unregister(this);
 }

  3. Post events:

     EventBus.getDefault().post(new MessageEvent());

Read the full getting started guide.

Add EventBus to your project

Via Gradle:

implementation 'org.greenrobot:eventbus:3.1.1'

Via Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.greenrobot</groupId>
    <artifactId>eventbus</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.1</version>
</dependency>

Or download the latest JAR from Maven Central.
