BindingExtension

ViewBinding is an amazing tool for Android but it's not so fit in Android development as we still have to do some config. BindingExtension is built to provide a simpler usage.

Install

Add Jitpack repository to your root build.grable:

allprojects {
  repositories {
    ...
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
  }
}

Then add dependency in your module build.gradle:

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.github.jintin:BindingExtension:2.0.0'
}

Usage

Activity

Extend from BindingActivity with your actual ViewBinding inflate method reference then you can use binding directly after calling super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) and you don't have to call setContentView anymore:

class MainActivity : BindingActivity<ActivityMainBinding>(ActivityMainBinding::inflate) {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        binding.label.setText(R.string.activity_label)
    }
}

Fragment

Extend from BindingFragment with your actual ViewBinding inflate method reference then you can use binding directly after super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState) is called:

class MainFragment : BindingFragment<FragmentMainBinding>(FragmentMainBinding::inflate) {

    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)

        binding.button.setOnClickListener {
            binding.button.setText(R.string.fragment_label)
        }
    }
}

ViewHolder

Extend from BindingHolder with parent ViewGroup and your actual ViewBinding inflate method reference then you can use binding directly:

class ViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup) :
    BindingHolder<AdapterMainBinding>(parent, AdapterMainBinding::inflate) {

    fun bind(data: String) {
        binding.name.text = data
    }
}

You can go to ./app module for more information.
