Define events:
public class MessageEvent { /* Additional fields if needed */ }
2. Prepare subscribers:
Register your subscriber (in your onCreate or in a constructor):
```java
eventBus.register(this);
Declare your subscribing method:
```java
@Subscribe
public void onEvent(AnyEventType event) {/* Do something */};
3. Post events:
```java
eventBus.post(event);
