There’s DataBinding library from Google, but as Simon said, just use Kotlin synthetic properties if all you need is standard binding

@Simon Schubert I guess We really learn everyday. I have gone through it Mostly this : https://antonioleiva.com/kotlin-android-extensions/ It really makes sense.
@Luka Yeah, i saw the android data binding library, but i really think that's pretty much about
data-binding

there are people that say that the only useful part of the data binding library is the view binding mechanism 😛

@arekolek databinding is really good. Especially with live data

@rkeazor I'll prolly try out databinding in a future release but for now, i think i just need to remove
findViewById
and the variable declaration; it takes too much space in my code. 😉

@paulex you should, its really good in my opinion. it feels good not having to write a setVisibility/setText/setAnythingInView method ever lol.
