Can I use ViewBindings to replace findViewById
in this typical RecyclerView.Adapter
initialization code? I can\'t set a binding
val in the
If you're ok with reflection, I have a much easier way to do this. Just call ViewGroup.toBinding() then you can get the binding object you want. But since we're talk about reflection, remember you have to modify your proguard-rule to make it work even for proguard.
// inside adapter
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ViewHolder {
return MainViewHolder(parent.toBinding())
}
// ViewHolder
class MainViewHolder(private val binding: AdapterMainBinding) :
RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root) {
fun bind(data: String) {
binding.name.text = data
}
}
// The magic reflection can reused everywhere.
inline fun <reified V : ViewBinding> ViewGroup.toBinding(): V {
return V::class.java.getMethod(
"inflate",
LayoutInflater::class.java,
ViewGroup::class.java,
Boolean::class.java
).invoke(null, LayoutInflater.from(context), this, false) as V
}
I put all this into an open source project you can take a look as well. Not only for Adapter usage but also include Activity and Fragment. And do let me know if you have any comment. Thanks.

I wrote a simple and reusable one:
class ViewBindingVH private constructor(val binding: ViewBinding) :
RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root) {
companion object {
inline fun createVH(
parent: ViewGroup,
crossinline block: (inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup, attach: Boolean) -> ViewBinding
) = ViewBindingVH(block(LayoutInflater.from(parent.context), parent, false))
}
}
class CardAdapter : RecyclerView.Adapter<ViewBindingVH>() {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ViewBindingVH {
return ViewBindingVH.createVH(parent, CardBinding::inflate)
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewBindingVH, position: Int) {
(holder.binding as CardBinding).apply {
//bind model to view
title.text = "some text"
descripiton.text = "some text"
}
}
}
just pass your model calss into xml and set these data into xml this code look fine and add a method where you add these data into binding like you don,t need to fine the id for this
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
holder.setData(listData[position])
}
fun setData(model: ListData) {
with(binding) {
data = model
executePendingBindings()
}
}
What you need to do is pass the generated binding class object to the holder class constructor. In below example, I have row_payment
XML file for RecyclerView
item and the generated class is RowPaymentBinding
so like this
class PaymentAdapter(private val paymentList: List<PaymentBean>) : RecyclerView.Adapter<PaymentAdapter.PaymentHolder>() {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): PaymentHolder {
val itemBinding = RowPaymentBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(parent.context), parent, false)
return PaymentHolder(itemBinding)
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: PaymentHolder, position: Int) {
val paymentBean: PaymentBean = paymentList[position]
holder.bind(paymentBean)
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int = paymentList.size
class PaymentHolder(private val itemBinding: RowPaymentBinding) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemBinding.root) {
fun bind(paymentBean: PaymentBean) {
itemBinding.tvPaymentInvoiceNumber.text = paymentBean.invoiceNumber
itemBinding.tvPaymentAmount.text = paymentBean.totalAmount
}
}
}
Also, make sure you pass the root view to the parent class of Viewholder like this RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemBinding.root)
by accessing the passed binding class object.
You may use data binding like this.
class CardListAdapter(
private val mActivity: FragmentActivity?
) :
RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder>() {
private var mCustomLayoutBinding: CustomLayoutBinding? = null
inner class MyViewHolder(val mBinding: CustomLayoutBinding) :
RecyclerView.ViewHolder(mBinding.getRoot())
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
if (layoutInflater == null)
layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
var viewHolder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder? = null
val inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
viewHolder = getViewHolder(parent, inflater)
return viewHolder!!
}
private fun getViewHolder(
parent: ViewGroup,
inflater: LayoutInflater
): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
mCustomLayoutBinding =
DataBindingUtil.inflate(inflater, R.layout.custom_layout, parent, false)
return MyViewHolder(this!!.mAssistanceLogCustomLayoutBinding!!)
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
val taskModal = mArrayList.get(position)
holder.mBinding.txtTitle.setText(taskModal.title)
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return assistanceArrayList.size
}
override fun getItemId(position: Int): Long {
return position.toLong()
}
override fun getItemViewType(position: Int): Int {
return position
}
}
You may use view-binding like this :
package com.example.kotlinprogramming.adapter
import android.content.Context
import android.view.LayoutInflater
import android.view.ViewGroup
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
import com.example.kotlinprogramming.data.HobbiesData
import com.example.kotlinprogramming.databinding.ItemHobbieBinding
class HobbiesAdapter(var context: Context, var hobbiesList: List<HobbiesData>) :
RecyclerView.Adapter<HobbiesAdapter.HobbiesViewHolder>() {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): HobbiesViewHolder {
val view = ItemHobbieBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(context) , parent,false)
return HobbiesViewHolder(view)
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: HobbiesViewHolder, position: Int) {
val hobbie = hobbiesList.get(position)
holder.viewBinding.tvHobbie.text = hobbie.title
}
inner class HobbiesViewHolder(var viewBinding: ItemHobbieBinding) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(viewBinding.root) {
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return hobbiesList.size
}
}
Here is item_hobbies.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
