Question

Another question about View DSL are there any examples for binding streams to specific view methods I m a big fan of DataBinding and I m curious if there s some already established patter to e g directly pass `LiveData lt String gt ` to `TextView setText` Probably couple of extension methods would be enough for majority of use cases but I imagine something like adapters converters would make view dsl very interesting

There s no such thing in Splitties but there s also nothing in the way of doing it

louiscad · Answer

In my case I use coroutines a lot in my apps and I use them along with regular functions to asbtract the UI away

louiscad · Answer

That helps me have a clearer view of what the UI can actually do and my UI and the code controlling it are very decoupled since those suspending and regular functions are defined in an interface

wasyl · Answer

Bu you have suspended fucntions like `setSomeViewProperty` right

louiscad · Answer

Here are 2 examples of such interfaces

For the second example here s how I use it <https github com Beepiz beepiz external control blob cb51f4826929c0847a7e317018cf966d58cd011a example app src main java com example beepizcontrol MainActivity kt L30 L47>

For the first example taken from Splitties sample on the current develop branch here s an example of the implementation of the interface <https github com LouisCAD Splitties blob aa28eaaa6da877f09f8565ec6c6f4d3825b2d291 samples android app src androidMain kotlin com example splitties main MainUiImpl kt>

I do my kind of data binding with coroutines loops and `Flow`s where apprioriate There might be a better way though and I m interested to read your thoughts about it

wasyl · Answer

That s very interesting patter thinking face Right now I m evaluating Splitties to possibly replace part of my app where we build some views dynamically from predefined components like title tags etc some of which take parameters Right now I do this via custom binding adapters and just bunch of code that inflates these custom layouts into the ConstraintLayout It works but I don t love it I ll definitely try to use view dsl for this at some point and I ll let you know my thoughts slightly smiling face I don t use Flow or coroutines yet though But in my case these views are pretty static so I don t need much either

wasyl · Answer

Anyway once I have some extra time I ll check this out was just wondering if there s already something ready for those bindings

louiscad · Answer

FYI the reason why I m using coroutines is because of the amazing possibilities when you take advantage of cancellation support and `try` `finally` But I started to do programmatic UIs with Splitties without abstracting it with `interface`s and using coroutines so much
