Android Data Binding pass arguments to onClick method
You can use a lambda expressions and pass the view in as a parameter.
android:onClick="@{() -> callback.onCategoryClick(viewModel)}"
If you need the view, you can pass that as well with:
android:onClick="@{(view) -> callback.onCategoryClick(view, viewModel)}"
Multiple Ways:
Solution 1 (When you have Presenter)
You have a presenter or handler class like below
public class Presenter {
public void onSaveClick(View view, Task task){}
}
Now take variable of type Presenter
in your layout. and set click like below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<data>
<variable name="task" type="com.android.example.Task" />
<variable name="presenter" type="com.android.example.Presenter" />
</data>
<LinearLayout ...>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="@{(view) -> presenter.onSaveClick(view, task)}"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</layout>
You can add any more arguments in this.
Please note that, you have to set these data variables in the onCreate()
method. Like below
ActivityMainBinding binding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main);
binding.setTask(task);
binding.setPresenter(presenter);
Solution 2 (When you don't have Presenter)
Create a variable type of your Activity / Fragment
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<data>
<variable name="task" type="com.android.example.Task" />
<variable name="activity" type="com.example.MainActivity" />
</data>
<LinearLayout ...>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="@{(view) -> activity.onSaveClick(view, task)}"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</layout>
and make method in your activity which you want to call from binding layout. and don't forget to call setActivity(YourActivity.this)
from Activity.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public void onSaveClick(View view, Task task) {
System.out.println("MainActivity.onSaveClick");
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ActivityMainBinding binding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main);
binding.setActivity(this);
binding.setTask(task);
}
}
