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 (~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:

   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.

There are also some examples.

Note: we highly recommend the EventBus annotation processor with its subscriber index. This will avoid some reflection related problems seen in the wild.

Add EventBus to your project

Available on Maven Central.

Via Gradle:

implementation 'org.greenrobot:eventbus:3.2.0'

Via Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.greenrobot</groupId>
    <artifactId>eventbus</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.0</version>
</dependency>

R8, ProGuard

If your project uses R8 or ProGuard add the following rules:

-keepattributes *Annotation*
-keepclassmembers class * {
    @org.greenrobot.eventbus.Subscribe <methods>;
}
-keep enum org.greenrobot.eventbus.ThreadMode { *; }
 
# And if you use AsyncExecutor:
-keepclassmembers class * extends org.greenrobot.eventbus.util.ThrowableFailureEvent {
    <init>(java.lang.Throwable);
}
