instead of findViewbyId

On Slack you can edit the previous message instead of going full auto mode 😌 You can use View Binding to bind you view's layout.

findViewById

return a generic of type

View

so

val button: Button = findViewById(...)

or

val button = findViewById<Button>(...)

will provide you a

Button

(or crash at runtime if it's not a button). On the other hand View Binding (starting AGP 3.6) are type-safe, null safe (ex: a view present in a layout configuration and absent in another configuration).

@satyan thank you!
