Epoxy-DataBinding-Example

0. Introduction

This repository shows how Epoxy library works with Android Databinding,

For more information, check Epoxy library.

1. Set build.gradle

1-1. Add kapt

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

kapt {
  correctErrorTypes = true
}

1-2. Enable Databinding

android {
    ...
    // Databinding
    buildFeatures {
        dataBinding true
    }
}

1-3. Add Dependencies

  // Recycler View
  implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.1.0'

  // Data Binding
  kapt 'com.android.databinding:compiler:3.5.0'

  // epoxy
  kapt 'com.airbnb.android:epoxy-processor:4.1.0'
  implementation 'com.airbnb.android:epoxy:4.1.0'
  implementation 'com.airbnb.android:epoxy-databinding:4.1.0'
  annotationProcessor 'com.airbnb.android:epoxy-processor:4.1.0'

For now, 4.1.0 is the latest version of Epoxy library.

2. Set EpoxyDataBindingPatterns (or EpoxyConfig)

⚠️ These file may be located on same pacakage with R.

You don't have to use both EpoxyDataBindingPatterns and EpoxyConfig

2-1. EpoxyDataBindingPattern

If names of resource files has some patterns, use EpoxyDataBindingPatterns.

package dev.haenara.epoxyexample

import com.airbnb.epoxy.EpoxyDataBindingPattern

@EpoxyDataBindingPattern(rClass = R::class, layoutPrefix = "epoxy_")
object EpoxyDataBindingPatterns

If you use R2, use it instead of R::class

2-2. EpoxyConfig

If only specific files is used for epoxy, try EpoxyConfig instead.

package dev.haenara.epoxyexample

import com.airbnb.epoxy.EpoxyDataBindingLayouts
import com.airbnb.epoxy.PackageModelViewConfig

@PackageModelViewConfig(rClass = R::class)
@EpoxyDataBindingLayouts(R.layout.epoxy_item_sample)
interface EpoxyConfig 

If you use R2, use it instead of R::class

3. Change RecyclerView to Epoxy's RecyclerView

Use RecyclerView from epoxy libaray instead of Android Jetpack🚀.

<com.airbnb.epoxy.EpoxyRecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

4. Make a model (layout resource with databinding)

Model files that inherits EpoxyModel would be generated automatically when you build your project👷.

Check this sample file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    <data>

        <variable
            name="data"
            type="dev.haenara.epoxyexample.Data" />
        <variable
            name="onClick"
            type="android.view.View.OnClickListener" />

    </data>

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dip">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tv_title"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="8dip"
            android:text="@{data.title}"
            android:textColor="#000000"
            android:textSize="18sp"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/tv_subtitle"
            app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="packed"
            tools:text="Title" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tv_subtitle"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="8dip"
            android:text="@{data.subtitle}"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/tv_title"
            app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="packed"
            tools:text="Subtitle" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/btn"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
            android:onClick="@{onClick}"
            android:text="Confirm"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</layout>

Since this resource file's name is epoxy_item_sample.xml, the generated file name would be EpoxyItemSample.

Using EpoxyDataBindingPattern, the file name would start after prefix. For instance ItemSample when prefix is "epoxy_".

Also a closure has been created as same name as models but starting a lower letter like itemSample, so that you can easily define ItemSample in EpoxyController.

If a model file hasn't be generated, build or assemble once.

AndroidStudio 4.0.1 has a bug that it cannot follow renaming packages. In case of a trouble with model auto-generation, just restart AndroidStudio.

5. ViewHolder

🙅‍♂️ ViewHolder is not required, if you uses databinding.

6. Make EpoxyController

6-1. Make a class inherits EpoxyContoller

class SampleController(val data: List<Data>) : EpoxyController() { }

Instead of EpoxyController, you may use TypedEpoxyController with generic. (or Typed2EpoxyController, ...)

6-2. Override buildModels function

    override fun buildModels() {
        dataList.forEachIndexed { index, data ->
            itemSample {
                id("sample$index")
                title(data.title)
                subtitle(data.subtitle)
                onClick { _ ->
                    onClick(data)
                }
            }
        }
    }

Inside of buildModels(), you can put model on RecyclerView as just declaring model with simple closure.

Name of model (in this case sample is the model) is depends on layout resource name.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Don't forget to set id value on EpoxyModel ⚠️⚠️⚠️

If you uses TypedEpoxyController, it has data on buildModels() and setData() must be called before requestModelBuild().

7. Now, let magic happen

        recycler_view.setController(
            SampleController(
                listOfData() // Data Set
            )
        )
        recycler_view.requestModelBuild() // let magic happen

8. This is what happens
