Is it mandatory to remove yourself as an observer from Android Lifecycle?

Question

I am building an Android Java class which implements the LifecycleObserver interface.

This is the constructor:

public MyObserver(AppCompatActivity a         


        

Answer 1

TL;DR: Nope.

According to this link here, where a user asked your question on the android-lifecycles Github repo. The answer of a Google developer to this questions was:

Yes, that's the whole point of the new lifecycle-aware components, no need to unsubscribe/remove observers.
