Add to a list in an activity from a service

Question

I have a list declared in my mainactivity, also calling the service from there but I have encountered some problems with trying to add items to the list I have from my service.

A little background, my service is doing some fetching of data and I save the response to a list I have in my main activity.

Currently, I'm doing it like this:

Activity activity = new Activity();
activity.addError(error);

My main activity is like this:

List<String> errorList = new ArrayList<>();    
public void addError(String error) {
    errorList.add(error);
}

I'm really quite not sure with all of this. I hope you can help. Thank you.

Use event bus instead it'll make communication much easier...[link](https://github.com/greenrobot/EventBus#add-eventbus-to-your-project) — Thamsanqa Mahlaola, Jan 02 '18 at 12:28
