To use binding in a Class

-----TO USE BINDING ON THE CLASS THAT YOU ARE WORKING!-----
/* 1. Import
*  Example: import edu.ncc.nest.nestapp.databinding.FragmentGuestDatabaseRegistrationFirstFormBinding;
*/
If class is under a folder: import edu.ncc.nest.nestapp.databinding.<Inner_folder_name><Outer_folder_name><File_name>Binding;  
If class is not under a folder: import edu.ncc.nest.nestapp.databinding.Activity<File_name>Binding;

/* 
* 2. Declare ref. variable
*
* Example: private FragmentGuestDatabaseRegistrationFirstFormBinding binding;
*/
private <The_imported_binding_class> binding;

/* 
* 3. If the Class is a fragment
* Under onCreateView(), create an instance of the binding class for the fragment to use.
* 
* Replace the following old code:
* return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_guest_database_registration_first_form,container, false);
*/
binding = <The_imported_binding_class>.inflate(inflater, container, false);
return binding.getRoot();

/*
* 3.5 If the Class is an Activity
* Under onCreate(), create an instance of the binding class for the activity to use.
* 
* Replace the following old code:
* setContentView(R.layout.activity_interface_tests);
* Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
* setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
*/
binding = <The_imported_binding_class>.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
// USE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING DEPENDING ON THE OLD CODE!
setContentView(binding.getRoot()); or setSupportActionBar(binding.toolbar);

Developer Notes

• Since build.gradle has modified you might have to rebuild the project.
• If the binding tags are in red color, and rebuilding the project didn't work, you will have to do File > Invalidate Caches/Restart
• Before and after importing bindings, check if the current state of the code working as expected.
