Used for efficient and simple delivery of messages within you application. It's an alternative to LocalBroadcastManager.

• Simple to use
• Can send any arbitrary object (doesn't need to be Parceable / Serializable / Bundle)
• Very efficient - objects are pooled and no new instances are created during delivery
• Uses standard Android Handler for message delivery
• Messages are always delivered to the main UI thread
• No Context needed
• Lightweight - just one main class (LocalMessageManager)

• Less complex code (compare with LocalBroadcastManager source)
• No need to use a Bundle to transfer the data and add unnecessary string keys
• Doesn't create any new instances, less impact on Garbage Collector
• No need to define IntentFilters / Actions
• Less error prone due to more straighforward API

You can send a message from anywhere. If you don't need any parameters, just use:

LocalMessageManager.getInstance().send(R.id.msg_sample_event);

(The message ID is an integer. You can use simple constants or Android IDs or anything else).

If you want to send an arbitrary object:

LocalMessageManager.getInstance().send(R.id.msg_sample_event, new MyCustomObject());

(you can also send a simple integer argument or a Bundle)

Register receiver. In case of an Activity this is usually onStart(), or onCreate(). You can also put this code into your base activity or fragment.

LocalMessageManager.getInstance().addListener(this);

You can listen to all events or add only a listener to a specific message ID.

Unregister receiver. In case of an Activity this is usually in onStop() or onDestroy(). You can also put this code into your base activity or fragment.

LocalMessageManager.getInstance().removeListener(this);

Create a listener or let your class implement LocalMessageCallback.

@Override
public void handleMessage(@NonNull final LocalMessage msg) {
    switch (msg.getId()) {
        case R.id.msg_sample_event : {
            mTextView.setText("Received simple event");
        }
        break;
    }
}
