android.app.Activity[] cannot be cast to java.lang.reflect.Method

[arronvera]

when I register the eventbus，I met the exception “android.app.Activity[] cannot be cast to java.lang.reflect.Method”

[arronvera]

if (!EventBus.getDefault().isRegistered(this)) {
EventBus.getDefault().register(this);
}

[andob]

any stacktrace of that exception?

Hm, thanks for reporting. But couldn't find any known issue.

Can you provide a small example to reproduce this?

[andob]

@arronvera seems like you are using a very old version of EventBus.
Last version with de.greenrobot.event package name was v2.4.0 (2014).
Nowadays the package name is org.greenrobot.eventbus.
Please upgrade to v3+.

Thanks for spotting that! Closing this issue anyhow, no response for a long time.
