Android Tutorial => DataBinding with custom variables(int,boolean)

Example

Sometimes we need to perform basic operations like hide/show view based on single value, for that single variable we cannot create model or it is not good practice to create model for that. DataBinding supports basic datatypes to perform those oprations.

<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <data>

        <import type="android.view.View" />

        <variable
            name="selected"
            type="Boolean" />

    </data>

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Hello World"
            android:visibility="@{selected ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE}" />

    </RelativeLayout>
</layout>

and set its value from java class.

binding.setSelected(true);
