One ViewModel or (Equivalent) per RecyclerView.ViewHolder












0















There are tons of tutorials on how to get a simple RecyclerView going, but now my ViewHolder logic becomes less and less simple.
Ideally I would have one instance of MyItemViewModel per ViewHolder, so I can separate UI related helpers. Is this at all possible?



I tried inflating and passing a binding like this:



(in RecyclerView.Adapter.onCreateViewHolder)



val binding = MyViewBinding.inflate(
LayoutInflater.from(parent.context), parent, false)
return MyViewHolder(binding)


But when I access binding.viewModel in MyViewHolder.setItem(item: Item) called via RecyclerView.Adapter.onBindViewHolder later, it is always null.



Any help? Can/should I instatiate one Fragment(Activity) per Item/ViewHolder so I can use ViewModelProviders? Is there sth similar to ViewModel that I should rather use?

  • @RohitSingh thanks! It seems the trade-off of RecyclerView is the inability of declaring content in the view.

  • I did not understand the trade-off ? What are you exactly suggesting? Was the suggested link helpful ?

  • Yes, very helpful! That's why I upvoted. I would still prefer to declare bindings in the view, not in the Adapter/ViewHolder, that is what I mean with trade-off: it seems you can not use declarative binding with RecyclerView.
