Data Binding -- Write Apps Faster
summary
Android Data Binding ties model objects to layout XML so generated binding classes replace findViewById calls, update views when observable properties change, and run the same code a developer would write because everything is resolved at compile time with no reflection at runtime. Custom BindingAdapters let image loaders like Picasso or Glide run off the UI thread and accept multiple attributes; instance adapters load via a DataBindingComponent useful for caching and tests. RecyclerView needs executePendingBindings to avoid double-layout and overall performance impact is claimed as negligible.
