Android Databinding default variable value












0














I have this layout.



<data>
<import type="android.view.View" />
<variable
name="shouldBeVisible"
type="java.lang.Boolean" />
</data>

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<CheckBox
android:id="@+id/checkbox"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:checked="@={shouldBeVisible}" />

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:background="#dd0"
android:visibility="@{shouldBeVisible ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE}" />

</LinearLayout>


shouldBeVisible is by default false. Is there a way to make shouldBeVisible true? I want to have LinearLayout visible in this one case.



So far I'm using binding.shouldBeVisible=true

          To solve that error you can use several ways:
          1) You can use primitive boolean type with inverted logic (shouldBeVisible -> shouldBeHidden)



          <variable name="shouldBeHidden" type="boolean" />

          <LinearLayout
          android:layout_width="40dp"
          android:layout_height="30dp"
          android:background="#dd0"
          android:visibility="@{shouldBeHidden ? View.GONE : View.VISIBLE}" />


          2) Second way is to use boxed Boolean type (as you have now) and set default value in expressions



          <LinearLayout
          android:layout_width="40dp"
          android:layout_height="30dp"
          android:background="#dd0"
          android:visibility="@{(shouldBeVisible ?? true) ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE}" />


          3) Third way - manually set it after inflating of binding (as you already do now)



          binding.shouldBeVisible=true


          4) Use default keyword in databining value



          <LinearLayout
          android:layout_width="40dp"
          android:layout_height="30dp"
          android:background="#dd0"
          android:visibility="@{shouldBeVisible ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE, default=View.GONE}" />


          Choose the one best fits your needs.
