Kotlin custom attribute databinding
Just keep function on the top level, no class or companion object needed, it will work since top-level functions in Kotlin translated to static member functions of Class named as FileNameKt
unless overridden by @file:JvmName
annotation
@BindingAdapter("imageUrl")
fun loadImage(view: ImageView, url:String) { ... }
One more option is to annotate Extension Function as @BindingAdapter
, it will work since in bytecode signature will exactly match signature expected by DataBindings(generated method will still accept an object of the extended class as the first argument), the function should remain top level as well
@BindingAdapter("imageUrl")
fun ImageView.loadImage(url:String) { ... }
One more option is to combine BindingAdapter
with the extension property like following:
@set:BindingAdapter("visible")
var View.visible
get() = visibility == VISIBLE
set(value) {
visibility = if (value) VISIBLE else GONE
}
Try switching the order of the annotations. It seems to fix the issue:
class Utils {
companion object {
@JvmStatic @BindingAdapter("imageUrl")
fun loadImage(view: ImageView, url:String) { ... }
}
}
The problem is that the databindng compiler uses getCompanion().loadImage
otherwise*.
You can verify this in the generated com.your.package.databinding.*Binding
class
* After playing around a bit I noticed that this has nothing to do with the order of the annotations, but seems to be random. It seems to change whenever I hit "rebuild". It might be a bug in kapt
or in the kotlin compiler
