EventBus - Subscriber class and its super classes have no public methods with the @subscribe annotation

I'm creating an Android application using EventBus for posting asynchronous broadcasts to other classes, but I'm running into an error during execution.

MainActivity.java

import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import org.greenrobot.eventbus.EventBus;
import org.greenrobot.eventbus.Subscribe;
import org.greenrobot.eventbus.ThreadMode;


public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    //Globals
    public String uname = null;
    public double lat = 0;
    public double lng = 0;

    //Get GUI handles
    public Button sendButton; //
    public EditText username;
    public Button MapButton; //
    public EditText LatBox;
    public EditText LngBox;


    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        EventBus.getDefault().unregister(this);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        //register EventBus
        EventBus.getDefault().register(this);

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        //set GUI for MainActivity
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //get handlers
        LatBox = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.LatBox);
        LngBox = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.LngBox);

        MapButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.locationButton);
        //Call the class which will handle finding coordinates
        MapButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent MapIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MapClass.class);
                startActivityForResult(MapIntent, 0);
            }
        });

        sendButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Submit);
        //Set action for Button
        sendButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {

                //Get username from user
                username  = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.UsernameText);
                uname = username.getText().toString();

                //Generate intent to start IntentService
                Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Register.class);

                //Put the extra field of username
                i.putExtra("username", uname);
                i.putExtra("latitude", lat);
                i.putExtra("longitude", lng);
                i.putExtra("type", "meetup.be2015.gcm_meetup.MAIN_ACTIVITY");

                //Start the IntentService on a different thread
                startService(i);
            }
        });

    }


    @Subscribe(threadMode = ThreadMode.MAIN)
    public void onEvent(LatLng currentPos){

        LatBox.setText(String.valueOf(currentPos.latitude));
        LngBox.setText(String.valueOf(currentPos.longitude));

        lat = currentPos.latitude;
        lng = currentPos.longitude;
    }

The LogCat shows the following:

Why is this happening? Am I doing something wrong?

Please ensure these lines are in your proguard config file if you are using proguard for your builds.

-keepattributes *Annotation*
-keepclassmembers class ** {
    @org.greenrobot.eventbus.Subscribe <methods>;
}
-keep enum org.greenrobot.eventbus.ThreadMode { *; }
