This repository shows how Epoxy library works with Android Databinding,
For more information, check Epoxy library.
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' kapt { correctErrorTypes = true } android { ... // Databinding buildFeatures { dataBinding true } } // Recycler View implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.1.0' // Data Binding kapt 'com.android.databinding:compiler:3.5.0' // epoxy kapt 'com.airbnb.android:epoxy-processor:4.1.0' implementation 'com.airbnb.android:epoxy:4.1.0' implementation 'com.airbnb.android:epoxy-databinding:4.1.0' annotationProcessor 'com.airbnb.android:epoxy-processor:4.1.0' For now, 4.1.0 is the latest version of Epoxy library.
You don't have to use both EpoxyDataBindingPatterns and EpoxyConfig
If names of resource files has some patterns, use EpoxyDataBindingPatterns.
package dev.haenara.epoxyexample import com.airbnb.epoxy.EpoxyDataBindingPattern @EpoxyDataBindingPattern(rClass = R::class, layoutPrefix = "epoxy_") object EpoxyDataBindingPatterns If you use R2, use it instead of R::class
If only specific files is used for epoxy, try EpoxyConfig instead.
package dev.haenara.epoxyexample import com.airbnb.epoxy.EpoxyDataBindingLayouts import com.airbnb.epoxy.PackageModelViewConfig @PackageModelViewConfig(rClass = R::class) @EpoxyDataBindingLayouts(R.layout.epoxy_item_sample) interface EpoxyConfig If you use R2, use it instead of R::class
Use RecyclerView from epoxy libaray instead of Android Jetpack🚀.
<com.airbnb.epoxy.EpoxyRecyclerView android:id="@+id/recycler_view" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" /> Model files that inherits EpoxyModel would be generated automatically when you build your project👷.
Check this sample file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"> <data> <variable name="data" type="dev.haenara.epoxyexample.Data" /> <variable name="onClick" type="android.view.View.OnClickListener" /> </data> <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="100dip"> <TextView android:id="@+id/tv_title" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="8dip" android:text="@{data.title}" android:textColor="#000000" android:textSize="18sp" android:textStyle="bold" app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/tv_subtitle" app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="packed" tools:text="Title" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/tv_subtitle" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="8dip" android:text="@{data.subtitle}" app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/tv_title" app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="packed" tools:text="Subtitle" /> <Button android:id="@+id/btn" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="10dip" android:onClick="@{onClick}" android:text="Confirm" app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout> </layout> Since this resource file's name is epoxy_item_sample.xml, the generated file name would be EpoxyItemSample.
Using EpoxyDataBindingPattern, the file name would start after prefix. For instance ItemSample when prefix is "epoxy_".
Also a closure has been created as same name as models but starting a lower letter like itemSample, so that you can easily define ItemSample in EpoxyController.
If a model file hasn't be generated, build or assemble once.
AndroidStudio 4.0.1 has a bug that it cannot follow renaming packages. In case of a trouble with model auto-generation, just restart AndroidStudio.
🙅♂️ ViewHolder is not required, if you uses databinding.
class SampleController(val data: List<Data>) : EpoxyController() { } Instead of EpoxyController, you may use TypedEpoxyController with generic. (or Typed2EpoxyController, ...)
override fun buildModels() { dataList.forEachIndexed { index, data -> itemSample { id("sample$index") title(data.title) subtitle(data.subtitle) onClick { _ -> onClick(data) } } } } Inside of buildModels(), you can put model on RecyclerView as just declaring model with simple closure.
Name of model (in this case sample is the model) is depends on layout resource name.
If you uses TypedEpoxyController, it has data on buildModels() and setData() must be called before requestModelBuild().
recycler_view.setController( SampleController( listOfData() // Data Set ) ) recycler_view.requestModelBuild() // let magic happen
