ViewBinding Library

This library helps to reduce the boilerplate code in initializing activities and fragments using ViewBinding. With this library you can initialize fragments, activities with a single line of code and can use the reference anywhere in the file.

Installation

• Add the Jitpack.io dependency in project level gradle file

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

• Add ViewBinding_Library dependency in app level gradle file (Replace Tag with latest release)

dependencies {
	implementation 'com.github.abhinav78910:ViewBinding_Library:Tag'
}

Using ViewBinding_Library into your Android Project

• Using ViewBinding_Library in Activity

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    private val binding: ActivityMainBinding by viewBinding()

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(binding.root)
    }
}

• Using ViewBinding_Library in Fragments

class TestFragment : Fragment(R.layout.fragment_test) {

    private val binding: FragmentTestBinding by viewBinding()

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

Incase of fragments Use onViewCreated instead of onCreateView. UI for the fragment is taken care by the library you need not to use onCreateView for initializing the UI for fragment.

Quick Fixes

• If you are facing this error

Cannot inline bytecode built with JVM target 1.8 into bytecode that is being built with JVM target 1.6. Please specify proper '-jvm-target' option

Then update your JVM target to 1.8 in the app level build.gradle file

android{
	...
    	compileOptions {
        	sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        	targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    	}
    	kotlinOptions {
        	jvmTarget = '1.8'
    	}
}
