EventBus Can I use this library for Activity to Service communication ?
I have tried this in my app as follows:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
EventBus.getDefault().register(this);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_music_player);
Intent serviceIntent=new Intent(MusicPlayerActivityTest.this,MusicPlayerServiceTest.class);
startService(serviceIntent);
EventBus.getDefault().post(new SetSongList(songArraList, 0));
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
EventBus.getDefault().unregister(this);
super.onDestroy();
}
and in my service onEvent
called
You have to register the Subscriber, not the emitter.
So, remove register/unregister from your app if you do expect to get the event. If so, just add the onEvent
(AnyEvent event) method to the Application class.
Then register EventBus in your service in onStart()
and unregister in onStop()
.
It should work better then.
In your Application
public class MyApp extend Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
...
EventBus.getDefault().post(new SetSongList(songArraList, 0));
}
}
or in your Activity
public class MyActivity extend Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
...
EventBus.getDefault().post(new SetSongList(songArraList, 0));
}
}
and in your Service
public class MyService extends Service {
...
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
EventBus.getDefault().register(this);
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
EventBus.getDefault().unregister(this);
super.onDestroy();
}
public void onEvent(SetSongList event){
// do something with event
}
...
}
