Version 1.1.0-rc01
December 15, 2021
androidx.localbroadcastmanager:localbroadcastmanager:1.1.0-rc01 is released. Version 1.1.0-rc01 contains these commits.
Version 1.1.0-alpha01
December 17, 2018
androidx.localbroadcastmanager is being deprecated in version 1.1.0-alpha01.
Reason
LocalBroadcastManager is an application-wide event bus and embraces layer violations in your app; any component may listen to events from any other component.- It inherits unnecessary use-case limitations of system
BroadcastManager; developers have to use Intent even though objects live in only one process and never leave it. For this same reason, it doesn’t follow feature-wise BroadcastManager .
These add up to a confusing developer experience.
Replacement
- You can replace usage of
LocalBroadcastManager with other implementations of the observable pattern. Depending on your use case, suitable options may be LiveData or reactive streams.
