hi, what the preffered view binding library? kotlin extensions or butterknife or kotterknife?

As for me, I prefer Android data binding.

isnt hashmap of views more heavy than butterknifes viewBidner object?

I meant Google’s library.

okay i just want to get view refences, no need to code in xml, thats weird to me

I just wrap XML into <layout>. No more additional code.

Android databinding. Kotterknife is just a Kotlin wrapper for butterknife. I don't think its expensive, it just caches the views you are using . And Google has optimized it alot and you can do more things with databinding.

isnt kotterknife lazyloading and caching the views? no actual annot. processing?

I prefere synthetic properties because it's one annotation processor less

@Paul Woitaschek I might be worrying about nothing, but in a sense, its hashmap which is bloat and access is not actually constant. i.e. slower than direct field access
