Data Binding

"Update layout directly through data source"

This project explains how to use Data Binding with LiveData.

---

DataBinding

• As the name suggests, the data binding library allows us to bind UI components of the layout with data sources declaratively rather than programmatically.

---

One-Way DataBinding

• In one-way data binding, only the data source can update the views on data change, views cannot update the data source.
• android:text=”@{employee.name}”

---

Two-Way DataBinding

• Both the view and data source are in sync. Every change in view will be reflected on the data source and vice versa.
• android:text=”@={mainViewModel.nameLiveData}”

---
