Android ViewBinding in 8 Minutes 

I forgot to mention in this video that you should also destroy your binding in the onDestroy() function. For that, simply make it nullable and set it to null in onDestroy

Wow, 3 minutes at 2x speed took care of every confusion I had after spending multiple hours in the official docs trying to figure this stuff out. Thanks!

I'm trying to learn Android development with Kotlin so thank you for this! Also, app dev is very difficult; way more than I thought it would be.

thank you so much for this helpful video , i've been searching for 4 hours to learn viewBiniding but non of those i found were as simple and helpful as yours.

Man u saved the life of a new android developper

I love your tutorials i set a plan with my self to watch all of your tutorials from the beginning to the end.

I'm not ready to move from kotlin synthetics😭 Btw Thank you for this video.

Why are viewbinding not included in the default projects?

Thank you! Your english is so simple, i understand around 60-70% of text. It`s great for me!

Awesome tutorial with examples, I wish more tutorials would add Kotlin/Java in the title though. Haven't started learning Kotlin yet but still a good watch to understand the flow of binding

Personal Suggestion: Please use ViewBinding & DataBinding in your upcoming tutorials. So, it will be more clear to how can we use it in real projects.

Thanks for the tutorial, then why we use android-kotlin-extensions? What's the difference between the two? which way is better?

short helpful with fragments, liked subscribed, btw I do your fundamentals course on your web, very clean and relatively in date so it replaced the whole book I had about that. Keep going and If you will have some more advanced courses like Spotify clone and rest of them in future, hell even if they will be paid I will sign for them. You do a really great job to spread your knowledge and KUDOS to you :)

Awesome video, so well explained, thank you as always dude!

Great job my german mate. You help my a lot!

i miss your intros with that hardcore music

you saved me Thanks for short and right to point video

So... "binding" puts the physical address of a variable/view (their location in memory) in a variable? You then reference that area of memory? Or reference an offset to a part of that location in memor? e.g. root points to the base address and a textview points to its offset from that base address. Did I get this right?

Thank you once again. Straight to the point

Hey, thank you for the video and your time! How do you record your face with the content on the background? Which program and tools do you use?

It seems that this buildFeatures { viewBinding true } Is replaced with viewBinding { enabled true }

You literally solved a weekend of headaches in 8 minutes

This video is old, but useful

awesome tutorial. you make it easy to understand

Ah, my man decided to grow his beared, awesome. DO you have a video on MVVM? for some reason I find you easy to understand.

My Android Studio (in 2022), when I added new activity with navigation drawer created "private FragmentSomethingBinding binding;" for me, but it is without lateinit modifier. Something changed since 2020 when this tutorial was made?

Very simple! you're awesome. Thanks.

i like this video, God bless you

Thanks, but idk why i needed to build graddle many times to be able to lateinit the binding

Hey Philip Thank you very and so much for this video

If I need to access a layout in a different module, does ViewBinding still work?

Great explained :D

Perfect explanation 👌

Don't I need to add in XML, or is it required only while using data binding?

thanks bro finally I understand

I'm now scared to update Android studio because Synthetic Binding got removed from new Android Studio version.

What's your opinion on DataBinding? is it recommended? i don't see you using it in your tutorials

underrated channel your content✌

Which is better to use? viewbinding or Kotlin synthetics?

Great Tutorial Philipp

You forgot to destroy the binding..This prevents memory leaks

Congratulations for 10 k subscribers

How about letting the App run for an example?

hi bro, Your tutorail is really good, there is no words to describe actually, Could you make video about Databinding and more advanced tutorail maybe kind of ecommerce app

How can we use view reference while writing android test, Is there any way to mock view-binding

How can I use view binding with base activity? In my application all activities extends a common Base activity where all common functionalities written.

Thanku so much ❤️

loved the video

Great effort bro. Keep it up.

It's been a while since I saw one of your videos and holy fuck that beard looks awesome.

I used view binding. Also I used custom theme in manifest file to hide ActionBar in main activity only. But either it was giving InflateException or showing blank on phone when experimenting to make it work. I, then, removed view binding and used same old setcontentview(R.layout.activity_main) and IT WORKED. What am I be doing wrong using view binding? Can you please tell? and thanks for the video.

i'm having issues with using my own custom library. I publish it to github but when i implement it in the build.gradle, my android studio doesn't allow me to call any of my library's classes. any suggestions?

Thank you Philipp! Nice to see your face in video! Great style! I don’t like this new coding style with binding.textview1.... binding.button1... binding.whateverElse... Looks like as everything I can see is binding binding binding )) It drives me mad a little bit. So I renamed ‘binding’ class to just ‘b’. Works fine! Now I can see in my code: b.textview1.... b.button1... b.whateverElse... Looks much better for me! Keep it going, Philipp!

Why does the package name of the generated binding class have "databinding" in it ? Does this mean that view binding is a part of data binding ?

Thank you

Hey great tutorial 💓

hey we can use the kotlin extensions also... why binding is better here?

Sadly getting an error if i follow your instruction: "Function invocation 'LayoutInflater(...)' expected" (line: "binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater)"). Could you help please?

Hi, i wan't to ask something. I used viewbinding inside fragment. And i have process like this, from activity A -> Activity B (Fragment A) and then i finished activity B. There is some error null Viewbinding when i go back to Activity B(Fragment A) and do some process. I don't know what happen. Can you give me a solution? thanks

Hello, I have a question : When I want to import ActivityMainBinding is imported with: import com.dagger.hilt.databinding.ActivityMainBinding Then I got this error in compile: error: [Hilt] androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat, expected to be annotated with @DefineComponent. Found: [Hilt] What is wrong? I did the code step by step with you

Thank you!

Really amazing

thanks you so muck

Very nice video

Why do we put the layout inside the fragment constructor?

best video

Thanks a lot

thanks alot

How to use ViewBinding in BaseActivity class which has its own Ui in activity_base.xml? and how to access these views in BaseActivity?

thank youu

Interesting!

I trust you man

How can we use viewBinding if we have BaseFragment or BaseActivity ?

thanks

I know this is not right place to request you but can you please make one video on mediaplayer to read multiple song from URL and play using mediaplayer only in kotlin? There is known video tutorial available on RU-vid as of now .

7:36 FragmentTestBinding is not showing

Epic!

hi i am new to android can anyone tell me how to destroy the binding like can you give me the code pls

Interested theme )

nice :)

How would the viewBinding for the adapter look, would anyone know?

viewbinding is throwing error in inflating ActivityMainBinding

I wish someone would make a 3rd party synthetics alternative much cleaner than this.

Thank Philipp very clear! but, fuck them I'm staying with synthetics for as long as I can -.-"

Android better make updates, I thought something was wrong with my program. I am trying to get my Android cert and this came up. #Frustrated

Where we are with Android dev: Learning something new that we know is soon to be deprecated 😅 #jetpackcompose

can you teach me how to interpret smali code?

ربي يزوجك

😀

One more reason to name views' id in java convention

Synthetics is pronounced: Sin-theh-ticks. Not Sint-het-icks.

#mTV :

Too much talking and not enough showing.

thank you
