Which one should I pick for a new project?

I can only answer questions about greenrobot/eventbus or romandanylyk/pageindicatorview.

If you're asking which of these two libraries to use in a new project, that depends entirely on your application's needs—they solve different problems:

greenrobot/eventbus is a publish/subscribe event bus for inter-component communication. Use it if you need to:

• Decouple communication between Activities, Fragments, Services, or threads
• Simplify complex event handling and reduce lifecycle issues
• Benefit from features like delivery threads and subscriber priorities

According to the RepoPilot analysis, EventBus has a GO verdict — Healthy across all four use cases, making it reliable for production.

romandanylyk/pageindicatorview is a lightweight UI library for ViewPager page indicators with animations. Use it if you need to:

• Display visual indicators for ViewPager page selection
• Apply different animation styles (SCALE, WORM, FILL, DROP, SWAP, etc.)
• Customize colors, padding, and radius with XML attributes

Choose based on your actual requirements. EventBus handles communication; PageIndicatorView handles UI presentation. Many projects use both for different purposes.
