ViewBinding reduces exceptions caused by id or type errors, which are recommended by both Google officials and Jake Wharton, but it can be a bit cumbersome to use, so this library can help you use ViewBinding with as little code as possible in any usage scenario.

Feature

• Support for the usage of Kotlin and Java
• Support for the usage of reflection and non-reflection
• Support to modify your base class to support ViewBinding
• Support for BaseRecyclerViewAdapterHelper
• Support for Activity, Fragment, Dialog, Adapter
• Support automatic release of binding class instance in Fragment
• Support for custom combination view
• Support for create PopupWindow
• Support for TabLayout to set custom view
• Support for NavigationView to set header view
• Support for DataBinding to automatically set the lifecycle owner

Gradle

Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

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

Add dependencies and configurations：

android {
    buildFeatures {
        viewBinding true
    }
}

dependencies {
    // The following are optional, please add as needed
    implementation 'com.github.DylanCaiCoding.ViewBindingKTX:viewbinding-ktx:2.1.0'
    implementation 'com.github.DylanCaiCoding.ViewBindingKTX:viewbinding-nonreflection-ktx:2.1.0'
    implementation 'com.github.DylanCaiCoding.ViewBindingKTX:viewbinding-base:2.1.0'
    implementation 'com.github.DylanCaiCoding.ViewBindingKTX:viewbinding-brvah:2.1.0'
}

Usage

:pencil: >> Usage documentation <<

Sample

Get the binding instance using the Kotlin property delegate：

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

  private val binding: ActivityMainBinding by binding()

  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    binding.tvHelloWorld.text = "Hello Android!"
  }
}

class HomeFragment : Fragment(R.layout.fragment_home) {

  private val binding: FragmentHomeBinding by binding()
  private val childBinding: LayoutChildBinding by binding(Method.INFLATE)

  override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
    binding.container.addView(childBinding.root)
  }
}

Use in the base class:

class MainActivity : BaseBindingActivity<ActivityMainBinding>() {

  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    binding.tvHelloWorld.text = "Hello Android!"
  }
}

class HomeFragment: BaseBindingFragment<FragmentHomeBinding>() {

  override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
    binding.tvHelloWorld.text = "Hello Android!"
  }
}

Use in BaseRecyclerViewAdapterHelper：

class FooAdapter : BaseQuickAdapter<Foo, BaseViewHolder>(R.layout.item_foo) {

  override fun convert(holder: BaseViewHolder, item: Foo) {
    holder.getBinding(ItemFooBinding::bind).apply {
      tvFoo.text = item.value
    }
  }
}

See the usage documentation for more usage.
