Different between EventBus vs Handler in android

Question

I used android Handler for step by step processes in my apps. For example, after setp_1 finished, send message to handler and then start step_2.

Now I found greenrobot EventBus. I interested in it performance and features. I want to replace android Handler with EventBus in my app.

So I would like to know what is different between EventBus and Handler. Is EventBus alternative to android Handler?

Answer 1

event bus is an alternative to listeners (in version 2 using refection - not sure about 3)
