Fluffy Events
Simple events bus (publish–subscribe) implementation based on regular Android BroadcastReceivers mechanism.
Usage
First of all you should initialize EventsBus inside your Application class:
public final class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
EventsBus.init(this);
}
}
To receive events you'll need to register a listener:
int regId = EventsBus.register(listener);
When you're done listen to the events you need to unregister from events bus using regId
value received from register()
method:
EventsBus.unregister(regId);
For activities it is recommended to register in the onCreate()
(or in onPostCreate()
) method and unregister in onDestroy()
method.
For fragments it is onCreateView()
(onViewCreated()
) and onDestroyView()
methods respectively.
Fluffy Events uses integer identifiers for events and Bundle as parameters holder.
So it is recommended to declare you events ids and events parameters keys in res/events.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- Events ids -->
<item type="id" name="my_event1"/>
<item type="id" name="my_event2"/>
<!-- Params keys -->
<string name="param_message">message</string>
</resources>
or to create separate java class with constants:
public final class Events {
public static final int MY_EVENT1 = 1;
public static final int MY_EVENT2 = 2;
public static final String PARAM_MESSAGE = "message";
}
Now you can start using bus to send events:
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString(Events.PARAM_MESSAGE, "Hello");
EventsBus.send(Events.MY_EVENT1, params);
and to receive them in your registered listener:
@Override
public void onEvent(int eventId, Bundle params, boolean isBroadcasted) {
switch (eventId) {
case Events.MY_EVENT1:
String msg = params.getString(Events.PARAM_MESSAGE);
Toast.makeText(context, msg, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
}
Available methods:
send(int eventId);
send(int eventId, Bundle params);
send(int eventId, String receiverId);
send(int eventId, String receiverId, Bundle params);
sendSticky(int eventId);
sendSticky(int eventId, Bundle params);
sendSticky(int eventId, String receiverId);
sendSticky(int eventId, String receiverId, Bundle params);
How to build
You need Maven to build the project. Just run mvn clean install
from project's root, jar file will be generated into target
folder.
