/**
 * A Presenter acts as a controller for both the {@link UpdatableView} (typically a fragment) and
 * the {@link Model} for the MVP architectural pattern.
 * <p/>
 * It is parametrised by the {@link QueryEnum} (the list of queries it is able to pass on to the
 * Model) and the {@link UserActionEnum} (the list of user actions it is able to pass on to the
 * Model).
 * <p/>
 * Typically, upon being created, a Presenter requests the Model to load the initial data, then
 * update the View accordingly.
 * <p/>
 * The implementation of a Presenter listens to events generated by the {@link UpdatableView} (by
 * implementing {@link com.google.samples.apps.iosched.archframework.UpdatableView
 * .UserActionListener}, and passes them on to the {@link Model}, which modifies its data as
 * required. The Presenter also listens to events generated by the {@link Model} (by using {@link
 * com.google.samples.apps.iosched .archframework.Model.DataQueryCallback} and {@link
 * com.google.samples.apps.iosched .archframework.Model.UserActionCallback} and then asks the {@link
 * UpdatableView} to update itself.
