/**
 * Defines an object that has an Android Lifecycle. {@link androidx.fragment.app.Fragment Fragment}
 * and {@link androidx.fragment.app.FragmentActivity FragmentActivity} classes implement
 * {@link LifecycleOwner} interface which has the {@link LifecycleOwner#getLifecycle()
 * getLifecycle} method to access the Lifecycle. You can also implement {@link LifecycleOwner}
 * in your own classes.
 * <p>
 * {@link Event#ON_CREATE}, {@link Event#ON_START}, {@link Event#ON_RESUME} events in this class
 * are dispatched <b>after</b> the {@link LifecycleOwner}'s related method returns.
 * {@link Event#ON_PAUSE}, {@link Event#ON_STOP}, {@link Event#ON_DESTROY} events in this class
 * are dispatched <b>before</b> the {@link LifecycleOwner}'s related method is called.
 * For instance, {@link Event#ON_START} will be dispatched after
 * {@link android.app.Activity#onStart onStart} returns, {@link Event#ON_STOP} will be dispatched
 * before {@link android.app.Activity#onStop onStop} is called.
 * This gives you certain guarantees on which state the owner is in.
 * <p>
 * If you use <b>Java 8 Language</b>, then observe events with {@link DefaultLifecycleObserver}.
 * To include it you should add {@code "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-common-java8:<version>"} to
 * your build.gradle file.
 * <pre>
 * class TestObserver implements DefaultLifecycleObserver {
 *     {@literal @}Override
 *     public void onCreate(LifecycleOwner owner) {
 *         // your code
 *     }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * If you use <b>Java 7 Language</b>, Lifecycle events are observed using annotations.
 * Once Java 8 Language becomes mainstream on Android, annotations will be deprecated, so between
 * {@link DefaultLifecycleObserver} and annotations,
 * you must always prefer {@code DefaultLifecycleObserver}.
 * <pre>
 * class TestObserver implements LifecycleObserver {
 *   {@literal @}OnLifecycleEvent(ON_STOP)
 *   void onStopped() {}
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Observer methods can receive zero or one argument.
 * If used, the first argument must be of type {@link LifecycleOwner}.
 * Methods annotated with {@link Event#ON_ANY} can receive the second argument, which must be
 * of type {@link Event}.
 * <pre>
 * class TestObserver implements LifecycleObserver {
 *   {@literal @}OnLifecycleEvent(ON_CREATE)
 *   void onCreated(LifecycleOwner source) {}
 *   {@literal @}OnLifecycleEvent(ON_ANY)
 *   void onAny(LifecycleOwner source, Event event) {}
 * }
 * </pre>
 * These additional parameters are provided to allow you to conveniently observe multiple providers
 * and events without tracking them manually.
