Set drawable resource ID in android:src for ImageView using data binding in Android

Question

I\'m trying to set drawable resource ID to android:src of ImageView using data binding

Here is my object:

public class Recipe implem         


        

Answer 1

Building upon the answer from Maher Abuthraa, this is what I ended up using in the XML:

android:src="@{context.getDrawable(recipe.imageResource)}"

The context variable is available in binding expression without any imports. Also, no custom BindingAdapter necessary. Only caveat: the method getDrawable is only available since API 21.
