EventBus
========
[EventBus](https://greenrobot.org/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 (~60k jar)
* is proven in practice by apps with 1,000,000,000+ installs
* has advanced features like delivery threads, subscriber priorities, etc.

EventBus in 3 steps
-------------------
1. Define events:

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

2. Prepare subscribers:
Declare and annotate your subscribing method, optionally specify a [thread mode](https://greenrobot.org/eventbus/documentation/delivery-threads-threadmode/):

```java
@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:

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

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

3. Post events:

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

Read the full [getting started guide](https://greenrobot.org/eventbus/documentation/how-to-get-started/).

There are also some [examples](https://github.com/greenrobot-team/greenrobot-examples).

**Note:** we highly recommend the [EventBus annotation processor with its subscriber index](https://greenrobot.org/eventbus/documentation/subscriber-index/).
This will avoid some reflection related problems seen in the wild.

Add EventBus to your project
----------------------------

Available on Maven Central.

Android projects:
```groovy
implementation("org.greenrobot:eventbus:3.3.1")
```

Java projects:
```groovy
implementation("org.greenrobot:eventbus-java:3.3.1")
```
```xml

org.greenrobot
eventbus-java
3.3.1

```

R8, ProGuard
------------

If your project uses R8 or ProGuard this library ships [with embedded rules](/eventbus-android/consumer-rules.pro).
