EventFlyer is a IPC library for Android, it works just as well as EventBus.

Features

• simplifies the communication between apps
• avoid life cycle issues
• support thread change

Setup

Add the jcenter() repository in your root build.gradle.

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

Add the dependencies in your app level build.gradle.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.yunlinos.library:eventflyer:1.0.0'
}

Getting Started

1. Initialize the service responsible for forwarding messages, and the service should survive as long as possible.

public class RemoteServer extends FlyerService {/* Do something */}

2. Define event as eventmodel:

public class OnControlEvent {/* Do something */}

3. In one App, init Application:

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        EventFlyer.getDefault().init(new FlyerConfiguration.Builder()
                .applicationContext(this)
                .remoteServicePkgName("com.yunlinos.eventflyerserver")
                .remoteServiceClassName("com.yunlinos.eventflyerserver.RemoteServer")
                .build());
    }

prepare subscribers: Declare and annotate your subscribing method:

@RemoteSubscribe(threadMode = ThreadMode.MAIN)
public void onEventGet(OnControlEvent onControlEvent) {/* Do something */}

Bind、unbind、register and unregister your subscriber. For example on Android, activities and fragments should usually register according to their life cycle:

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        EventFlyer.getDefault().bindRemoteServer();
        EventFlyer.getDefault().register(this);

    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        EventFlyer.getDefault().unregister(this);
        EventFlyer.getDefault().unBindRemoteServer();
    }

4. In other App, init application:

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        EventFlyer.getDefault().init(new FlyerConfiguration.Builder()
                .applicationContext(this)
                .remoteServicePkgName("com.yunlinos.eventflyerserver")
                .remoteServiceClassName("com.yunlinos.eventflyerserver.RemoteServer")
                .build());
    }

post events:

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        EventFlyer.getDefault().bindRemoteServer();
        EventFlyer.getDefault().post(new OnControlEvent("RemoteEvent"));
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        EventFlyer.getDefault().unBindRemoteServer();
    }
