BackgroundEventListener (Brightcove Player SDK for Android 8.1.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.brightcove.player.event.BackgroundEventListener

All Implemented Interfaces:

EventListener
```
public abstract class BackgroundEventListener
extends java.lang.Object
implements EventListener
```
Implements an EventListener and calls processEvent on a background thread. By default, EventListener calls processEvent on the main thread. This class is useful for custom analytics implementation, or other types of event handlers that need to do work on a background thread (typically to make network calls). When extending this class, destroyBackgroundThread() must be called when this class is no longer needed. Otherwise, if this method is not called, the background thread will live on until the app it is running in, is terminated.

public final void processEvent(Event event)
```
    Description copied from interface: EventListener
    
    Process a given event to some purpose. The event can contain or provide payload data via properties.
    
    Specified by:
    
    processEvent in interface EventListener
    
    Parameters:
    
    event - The given event.
  - backgroundProcessEvent
```
public abstract void backgroundProcessEvent(Event event)
```
    Process a given event to some purpose. The event can contain or provide payload data via properties. Called from a background thread.
    
    Parameters:
    
    event - The event to process
  - destroyBackgroundThread
```
public void destroyBackgroundThread()
```
    Stops and destroys the background thread. This must be called once the EventListener is no longer required. Failure to do so will result in the background thread continuing to run until the app is terminated.
