How activeStateChanged delays the delivery of events until the lifecycle is active for Internals of Android Architecture Components Part II- LiveData

ObserverWrapperActiveStateChanged.java

void activeStateChanged(boolean newActive) {
    if (newActive == mActive) {
        return;
    }
    // immediately set active state, so we'd never dispatch anything to inactive
    // owner
    mActive = newActive;
    boolean wasInactive = LiveData.this.mActiveCount == 0;
    LiveData.this.mActiveCount += mActive ? 1 : -1;
    if (wasInactive && mActive) {
        onActive();
    }
    if (LiveData.this.mActiveCount == 0 && !mActive) {
        onInactive();
    }
    if (mActive) {
        dispatchingValue(this);
    }
}
