Re: Views without presenters - how should they handle events?

Hi

For now I'm putting events on the eventbus from the view. Then in the
entrypoint class handle all the events. I send the eventbus in the
constructor to the view since I have'nt put in GIN yet. I will look
into the new AcitvityManager concept from the 2010 IO and the
PlaceManager.
