Cad iad View Binding agus Data Binding in Android?

View Binding agus Data Binding ná gné Android chun cód a nascadh le views i leagan-amach XML ar bhealach níos sábháilte agus níos éasca ná an tsean-findViewById. Soláthraíonn View Binding tagairtí view atá sábháilte go cineál; agus i bhfhocal is ea Data Binding nascann sé sonraí go díreach ar leagan-amach.

An fhadhb: findViewById

text

The old way: findViewById to get view references:
  val button = findViewById<Button>(R.id.myButton)
  ✗ verbose; NOT type-safe (cast errors); NOT null-safe (wrong id → null → crash at runtime)
→ View/Data Binding solve these.

kotlin

// View Binding generates a binding class per layout with typed references to its views
val binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
setContentView(binding.root)
binding.myButton.setOnClickListener { /* ... */ }   // typed, null-safe, no findViewById
binding.titleText.text = "Hello"
// → type-safe (compile-checked), null-safe, concise — the recommended replacement for findViewById

xml

<!-- Data Binding lets you bind data/expressions directly in the layout XML -->
<TextView android:text="@{user.name}" />        <!-- binds to a user object's name -->
<Button android:onClick="@{() -> viewModel.submit()}" />

DATA BINDING (more powerful than View Binding):
  → bind layout views directly to data/ViewModels in XML (expressions, two-way binding)
  → can reduce UI-update boilerplate; supports observable data → UI auto-updates
  → more complex; View Binding is simpler and often sufficient
→ Modern apps increasingly use Jetpack COMPOSE instead (no XML binding needed).
