How to use MVVM pattern in Android
summary
Claims that MVVM cuts boilerplate, makes UI code testable as POJOs and turns slow Android UI tests into fast JUnit tests. Compares MvvmCross (Xamarin cross‑platform reuse but C# only), RoboBinding (Java compile‑time codegen, no RecyclerView support), NG Android and bindroid. Describes Google Android Data Binding beta: code generation, expression language and compile‑time checks, but currently no two‑way binding and some IDE ID issues. Demo wires Data Binding to RecyclerView after about two hours and runs.
