Remarks

The event handler, which must be implemented by subclasses.

<p class="note">This method is invoked on a special FileObserver thread. It runs independently of any threads, so take care to use appropriate synchronization! Consider using Handler#post(Runnable) to shift event handling work to the main thread to avoid concurrency problems.</p>

Event handlers must not throw exceptions.
