UseCase: If we want to show in a textview "Model : BMW" | |
model - static data | |
BMW - dynamic data, If your doing a n/w call and in your model you have a model attribute for vehcile object, below is one of approach. | |
------- | |
define this in your strings.xml | |
<string name="display_model">Model %s</string> | |
* In case you have a data object vehicle as a livedata then you do something like this in your Viewmodel | |
* displayModel is a variable that will be used by data binding to show in your layout | |
val displayModel = Transformations.map(vehicle) { | |
app.applicationContext.getString(when(it.isCarLuxury){ | |
true -> R.string.display_luxury | |
false -> R.string.display_normal | |
}, it.model) | |
} | |
* In your layout you define your databinding variable and in your textview call like this | |
<data> | |
<variable | |
name="detailViewModel" | |
type="com.android.vechile.detail.DetailViewModel" /> | |
</data> | |
<TextView | |
android:id="@+id/moel_value_text" | |
android:layout_width="wrap_content" | |
android:layout_height="wrap_content" | |
