Make work with Android View Binding simpler
ViewBindingPropertyDelegate
Make work with Android View Binding simpler. The library:
- manages ViewBinding lifecycle and clears the reference to it to prevent memory leaks
- eliminates the need to keep nullable references to Views or ViewBindings
- creates ViewBinding lazily
vbpd and vbpd-reflection. Prefer to use the one without reflection for better performance
IMPORTANT: Enable ViewBinding before using the library
Each Gradle module in your project where you need to use ViewBinding must be properly configured. Refer to the official guide on how to do thatAdd the library to a project
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
dependencies { // recommended implementation("dev.androidbroadcast.vbpd:vbpd:2.0.4") // additional factories that use reflection under hood implementation("dev.androidbroadcast.vbpd:vbpd-reflection:2.0.4") }
Samples
import android.os.Bundle
import android.view.View
class ProfileFragment : Fragment(R.layout.profile) { // RECOMMENDED // no reflection API is used under the hood private val profileBinding: ProfileBinding by viewBinding(ProfileBinding::bind)
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState) with(profileBinding) { firstName.text = person.name lastName.text = person.surname email.text = person.email } }
override fun onDestroyView() { super.onDestroyView() // profileBinding will be cleared after onDestroyView() } }
Migration from 1.0
You can use 1.X and 2.X in the same project without replacing code
- Replace packages
com.github.kirich1409.viewbindingpropertydelegate->dev.androidbroadcast.vbpd - Replace
onViewDestroyedwith moving code to proper lifecycle callback (Fragment.onViewDestroyed(), Activity.onDestroy(), etc.)
