Inherrited methods are not counted by Otto

[kennydude]

Otto does not check inherited classes for methods which could be annotated with a @Subscribe annotation.

Example:

public class BaseClass{ @Subscribe public void receiveEvent(MyEvent e){ /* ... */ } }
public class MainClass extends BaseClass{  /* receiveEvent is not seen by register, even if register is called in BaseClass */  }

Use case for this is for a project I am working on, I want SnackBar notifications to appear on any activity when a certain event is received.

This is by design.

Otto will not traverse the class hierarchy and add methods from base classes or interfaces that are annotated.

I'll leave this issue open as a feature request, but it's unlikely to be fixed.

I managed to work around it for now (using a manager class per activity for the bus), but thanks anyway I assume this is so that it isn't slowing things down too much.

[JakeWharton]

That is much more efficient than supporting inheritance!

Sorry, but if this problem won't fix the framework is not usable with android annotations.

[JakeWharton]

That is an acceptable trade-off for us.
