Why `sendBroadcastSync` over `sendBroadcast`? #44

Closed Dragas closed 3 years ago

Dragas commented 5 years ago

In the example you suggest using sendBroadcastSync, but documentation suggests that it's a blocking operation. How come you suggest using it over the regular version of that call?

Hi @Dragas

sendBroadcastSync vs sendBroadcast is like synchronous vs asynchronous and for sure this will involve the thread on which the message will be processed.

However the plugin forces execution within UIThread so you can use which you prefer depending on yours use case

hope this help
