Android Tutorial => Receiving an event

Example

To receive an event it is necessary to implement a method with the event type as parameter and annotate it using @Subscribe. Furthermore you have to register/unregister the instance of your object at the BusProvider (see example Sending an event):

public class MyFragment extends Fragment {
    private final static String TAG = "MyFragment";

    ...

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        BusProvider.getInstance().register(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        BusProvider.getInstance().unregister(this);
    }

    @Subscribe
    public void onDatabaseContentChanged(DatabaseContentChangedEvent event) {
        Log.i(TAG, "onDatabaseContentChanged: "+event.message);
    }
}

Important: In order to receive that event an instance of the class has to exist. This is usually not the case when you want to send a result from one activity to another activity. So check your use case for the event bus.
