View Binding na Data Binding ni nini katika Android?

View Binding na Data Binding ni vipengele vya Android vya kuunganisha code na views katika XML layouts kwa usalama na urahisi zaidi kuliko findViewById ya zamani. View Binding hutoa view references za type-safe; Data Binding zaidi ya hayo hufunga data moja kwa moja kwenye layouts.

Tatizo: findViewById

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).

View Binding — view references za type-safe

Data Binding — funga data moja kwa moja katika XML
