Live-Event

The LiveEvent helper class allows you to observe events from an EventEmitter with a lifecycle-aware observer.

Using the LifecycleOwner passed to observe, it will automatically stop listening when the Lifecycle is destroyed.

You can only emit events and listen for events on the thread where you created the EventEmitter.

Example

// write
private val emitter: EventEmitter<String> = EventEmitter()
val events: EventSource<String> = emitter

fun doSomething() {
    emitter.emit("hello")
}

// read
fun observe() {
    events.observe(lifecycleOwner) { event ->
        showToast(event)
    }
}

Using Live Event

In order to use Live Event, you need to add jitpack to your project root gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        // ...
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
    // ...
}
allprojects {
    repositories {
        // ...
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
    // ...
}

In newer projects, you need to also update the settings.gradle file's dependencyResolutionManagement block:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }  // <--
        jcenter() // Warning: this repository is going to shut down soon
    }
}

and add the compile dependency to your module level gradle.
