Hi, is it good to change default implementation of Android Methods through data binding For e.g if use this method @BindingAdapter("android:src") public static void setImageUrl(ImageView view, String url) { Glide.with(view.getContext()).load(url).into(view); } in xml <ImageView android:id="@+id/icon" android:layout_width="40dp" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_marginRight="6dip" android:contentDescription="TODO" android:src="@{obj.url}" />

It’s pretty bad approach IMO Much better to be explicit and use special binding name for it, like imageUrl instead of android:src

as a dev adopting a code base, I'd curse the guy who decided to override the default like that, just as a personal opinion

In this case, you're not overriding the default (which takes a drawable)- you're applying a different type (string) to the default name. I actually like this, as it doesn't pollute your autocomplete. We try to avoid overriding the default behavior, though.
