Level up with Data Binding
summary
Enable data binding by setting dataBinding enabled=true in Gradle and wrap layouts; Android Studio can convert to data binding layout automatically. Layouts declare variables and use expressions to bind ViewModel properties; use @BindingAdapter methods (can be module‑wide) to plug in libraries like BindingAdapter with Glide, and the compiler can pass the old value into adapters for comparisons. LiveData binds automatically when a lifecycleOwner is set, and two‑way binding uses @= to let UI update immutable LiveData successfully.
