MVVM architecture with Data Bindings

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

Argues MVVM plus Android Data Binding replaces much of MVC/MVP boilerplate by wiring ObservableField state classes to XML, using BindingAdapter methods for custom setters (image loaders) and a repository layer for network/cache logic. Shows a Reddit‑style search UI with tabs, list and image loading (examples using Picasso/Glide/Fresco), serializes view model into savedInstanceState to survive rotations, and demonstrates automatic UI updates and simpler unit testing of pure Java view models.
