public abstract class ViewDataBinding
extends BaseObservable
java.lang.Object | ||
↳ | android.databinding.BaseObservable | |
↳ | android.databinding.ViewDataBinding |
Base class for generated data binding classes. If possible, the generated binding should be instantiated using one of its generated static bind or inflate methods. If the specific binding is unknown, bind(View)
or inflate(LayoutInflater, int, ViewGroup, boolean)
should be used.

void addOnRebindCallback (OnRebindCallback listener)
Add a listener to be called when reevaluating dirty fields. This also allows automatic updates to be halted, but does not stop explicit calls to executePendingBindings()
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
listener |
OnRebindCallback : The listener to add. |
void executePendingBindings ()
Evaluates the pending bindings, updating any Views that have expressions bound to modified variables. This must be run on the UI thread.
View getRoot ()
Returns the outermost View in the layout file associated with the Binding. If this binding is for a merge layout file, this will return the first root in the merge tag.
Returns | |
---|---|
View |
the outermost View in the layout file associated with the Binding. |
boolean hasPendingBindings ()
Returns whether the UI needs to be refresh to represent the current data.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if any field has changed and the binding should be evaluated. |
void invalidateAll ()
Invalidates all binding expressions and requests a new rebind to refresh UI.
void removeOnRebindCallback (OnRebindCallback listener)
Removes a listener that was added in addOnRebindCallback(OnRebindCallback)
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
listener |
OnRebindCallback : The listener to remove. |
boolean setVariable (int variableId, Object value)
Set a value value in the Binding class.
Typically, the developer will be able to call the subclass's set method directly. For example, if there is a variable x
in the Binding, a setX
method will be generated. However, there are times when the specific subclass of ViewDataBinding is unknown, so the generated method cannot be discovered without reflection. The setVariable call allows the values of variables to be set without reflection.
Parameters | |
---|---|
variableId |
int : the BR id of the variable to be set. For example, if the variable is x , then variableId will be BR.x . |
value |
Object : The new value of the variable to be set. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the variable is declared or used in the binding or false otherwise. |
void unbind ()
Removes binding listeners to expression variables.
void finalize ()
Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize
method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.
The general contract of finalize
is that it is invoked if and when the JavaTM virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize
method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize
, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.
The finalize
method of class Object
performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object
may override this definition.
The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize
method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.
After the finalize
method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.
The finalize
method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.
Any exception thrown by the finalize
method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.
