Question

Can I use ViewBindings to replace findViewById in this typical RecyclerView.Adapter initialization code? I can\'t set a binding val in the

Answer 1

What you need to do is pass the generated binding class object to the holder class constructor. In below example, I have row_payment XML file for RecyclerView item and the generated class is RowPaymentBinding so like this

    class PaymentAdapter(private val paymentList: List) : RecyclerView.Adapter() {
        override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): PaymentHolder {
            val itemBinding = RowPaymentBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(parent.context), parent, false)
            return PaymentHolder(itemBinding)
        }
    
        override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: PaymentHolder, position: Int) {
            val paymentBean: PaymentBean = paymentList[position]
            holder.bind(paymentBean)
        }
    
        override fun getItemCount(): Int = paymentList.size
    
        class PaymentHolder(private val itemBinding: RowPaymentBinding) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemBinding.root) {
            fun bind(paymentBean: PaymentBean) {
                itemBinding.tvPaymentInvoiceNumber.text = paymentBean.invoiceNumber
                itemBinding.tvPaymentAmount.text = paymentBean.totalAmount
            }
        }
    }

Also, make sure you pass the root view to the parent class of Viewholder like this RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemBinding.root) by accessing the passed binding class object.
