[@dura3933]

Thank you very very much for your good explanation. You tell about what it's like in the past and then explain about the issue. I have been confused about this issue for 2 days and your video really help me. I just started learning online course of kotlin and android studio but the course is a bit old and not up to date. Thank you so much.

Thanks for this explanation man! I have been hearing about view binding but it was so confusing until now. ✌️👌 On a side note, would you be making a playlist on kotlin higher order functions, different use cases of with, apply etc anytime soon? Would love a quick video on that! 😄

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

I was planning to make a Kotlin video, but hadn't planned to cover that specifically. Will add it to my list!

[@damercy]

Sir please make a video on themes that are auto-generated in new android studio project Which color is applied to what ?

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

I can add that to my list. Might wait a while so everyone can adopt the new Android Studio and there's less confusion 😂

I am getting bored to go with changeable syntaxes. Should I change all my former project works by checking everything??????... Migration from Java to Kotlin may be good by default but putting codes for each former works here???... I know you are smart tutorial instructor. What do you advise us to go with such boring programming or app development task?

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

I'm not sure I understand the question. In general with software engineering, if something works, don't touch it.

@@RahulPandeyrkp I want the Google AdMob on my app and it requested me metadata gradel. No matter for this and the problem is binary problem. I changed the version of Kotlin. Then it come again deprication of extension to parcel. And it disturbed many of my codes. How could I solve it easily? Can I keep metadata with extension? Is there any other possible solution? I have gone back to my former extension now.

Why viewbinding is still not enabled by default? Any downsides?

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

I think it's still considered an "advanced" feature since it requires some clean up in the destroy lifecycle event

Hey I have been using view binding since this video and their was no problem until now, when I use view binding the root layout margin don't work what is the reason for that?? So to overcome this I use 1 extra root layout and put margin in that ..and I know this is not good way of doing this so what should I do??

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

You should be able to get a reference to the root view- can you do it through the getRoot() method on the binding object? As documented here: developer.android.com/topic/libraries/view-binding#usage

Great and clear video. Helped a lot!

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

Glad to hear that 🤗

[@almoni127]

@@RahulPandeyrkp BTW, I'm familiar with C# where they simply have a generated part of the class in another file. I wonder why this wasn't the solution here.

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

in fact, with viewbinding, the Android system generates a binding class for each XML layout file!

[@oluwaseunfatusin2696]

Thanks you boss. Respect🙌

[@burakcanduzcan]

couldn't they keep it as cool as before? :/

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

they were trying to address some of the challenges with the automatic kotlin extensions approach - I know it's more code :/

Please start a flutter series 😄 and if you are going to start please post in community

[@RahulPandeyrkp]

will certainly do that if I get around to learning flutter 😋

The records can have, in the same database, a url of the web image and make a listing, using a cardwiew with the records and associated image, looking for the image of the url to show next to each record ? answer so I can see doing this I'm in an internship and they asked me for an app with this and I can't find how to do it even in the manual, someone must have kept a secret about it. Not even andoid means how to do it The company is looking for someone to hire who knows how to do this for them, can you do it? Show.
