Inside Services post / postRemote only post local

[paulgavrikov]

Code works in Activities, but inside a service both post or postRemote only post to the local event listeners.

public class WearService extends Service {
    public WearService() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        EventBus.getDefault().register(this);
    }

    public void onEvent(Long i) {
        L.e("onEvent:long "+i);
        pushToWear();
    }

    public void onEvent(String s) {
        // called after pushToWear!!!!
    }

    private void pushToWear() {
     ...
        EventBus.getDefault().postRemote(payload.toString(), this);
    }
}

Looks like, post / postRemote work only on the UI Thread, so assign a handler in onCreate of the Service (this is executed on the UI Thread) and then post Runnables with postRemote to it.

Thanks for explanation. I think this is EventBus issue/topic so If you feel the same please close issue as it is not directly BusWear related.

Well, I don’t know theoretically you could build a workaround inside Wearbus. But anyway I’d suggest you to write this down somewhere, nearly drove crazy to find out why it wasn’t working ;-)

Should not postRemote only post to remote? I have a case where it posts local, is this not a bug? Update: This problem was the same as "paulgavrikov" had.

[paulgavrikov]

It should but as you said it does not always work

postRemote is not guaranteed as it uses Messaging API (to speed up event propagation) instead of Data API but doesn't guarantees delivery (if for example watch loses connection, or is out of range).

If it runs outside your Main Context it will go crazy. Check my issue in that

Yes, but why does it end up local?

Im doing a postRemote within an onEvent and it seems that its treating my postRemote as already posting thus in postRemote "(!postingState.isPosting)", isPosting is "true", thus skipping it. So recursive posts is not possible, or?
