How can use ?attr/colorAccent in databinding expressions?












0














I have a XML field that I want to change based on an 'ObservableBoolean' like this:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
>
<data>
<variable
name="isColored"
type="androidx.databinding.ObservableBoolean"
/>
</data>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<com.consoleco.console.customView.PerTextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:background="@{isColored ? ?attr/colorAccent : @color/grayBackground"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="@string/save"
android:textColor="@color/white"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</layout>


In this line of code above:



android:background="@{isColored ? ?attr/colorAccent : @color/grayBackground"


we can't use two '?' mark (IDE give error: expected, got ?'
How can I resolve this problem?

          You can use a BindingAdapter for this (add this in a class):



          @BindingAdapter("isColored")
          public static void isColored(View view, boolean isColored){
          TypedValue typedValueColor = new TypedValue();
          view.getContext().getTheme().resolveAttribute(R.attr.colorAccent, typedValueColor, true);
          if(isColored){
          view.setBackground(typedValueColor.data);
          } else {
          view.setBackground(view.getContext().getResources().getColor(R.color.grayBackground));
          }
          }


          And in your xml layout replace this:



          android:background="@{isColored ? ?attr/colorAccent : @color/grayBackground"


          With this:



          app:isColored="@{isColored}"

          • Thanks a lot for good details. Your solution will work well. But I prefer simpler solutions than @BindingAdapter.
