what is the correct way to use viewBinding in coustom view mainly extending ConstraintLayout or should i avoid it and use findViewById?

As I know, DataBinding have significant overhead, because of code generation.
So I think that there is better to avoid using it unless you really do "binding".
You have coupe of options:
- use ViewBinding if you using android gradle plugin 4.0
- use kotlin-android-extensions (kotlin only)
- use Butterknife from @jw (java)

I think @genovich thaught you said DataBinding 😛
Using ViewBinding is fine an generates very little overhead

Ow, sorry =(
Really thought about dataBinding

Don't use Butter Knife. View binding was added in AGP 3.6.
