I've been playing with Otto for the last few days and it's just amazing. However, I've run into a problem, I"m trying to communicate from a Fragment to the Activity. To keep things simple, I have one Activity which hold the Fragment, and in the Fragment I have a Button which just simply posts an event. 

@Inject Bus bus;
...
...
bus.post(new ReadStatusEvent("23"));

In the Activity I have a Subscribe method.

@Subscribe
public void onReadStatusEvent(ReadStatusEvent event){
    Timber.i("sub:"+event.getReadStatusID());
}

Here is the event

public class ReadStatusEvent {
  private final String readStatusID;

  public ReadStatusEvent(String readStatusID) { this.readStatusID = readStatusID; }

  public String getReadStatusID() { return readStatusID; }
}

I'm using Dagger, so my Otto Bus is a singleton which is Injected by the SimpleModule file.

@Provides @Singleton
Bus provideBus() {
    return new Bus(ThreadEnforcer.ANY);
}

I've been going at it for the whole day but for some reason the Subscribe method is never called.

Edit: I've just tried using the Otto plugin for Android Studio and whenever I click the @Subscribe or bus.post(..), it keeps searching but doesn't find anything(No usage found so far). I guess I'm doing something terribly wrong somewhere.

Your hint concerning the Otto Plugin made me think about your imports.

Are you sure you are using "com.squareup.otto.Subscribe" and not "com.google.common.eventbus.Subscribe" or any other package?

  • FML! You are right I never noticed the import, just changed it and it's working flawlessly now. THANKS A LOT! – Raza Mar 14 '14 at 17:48

In order to receive events, a class instance needs to register with the bus. Are you registering the objects holding your subscribers/producers?

bus.register(this); // Example
