Android Databinding - How To Bind A Viewgroup's Properties

I am developing an Android app in Xamarin.Android(C#). However, i do feel that this question can also be answered by any Java devs as well. I am new in android development. Anyways

Solution 1:

Im not familiar with MVVMLIght extension but if you are using a fragment as it is supposed to (ie. in a tablayout) you should inherit from a fragment like this (This is a v4 support fragment):

publicclassCategoryFragment : SupportFragment {
RecyclerView _recyclerView;
private View _view;

publicoverride View OnCreateView (LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    _view = inflater.Inflate (Resource.Layout._CategoryLayout, container, false);

    // Get our RecyclerView layout:
    _recyclerView = _view.FindViewById<RecyclerView> (Resource.Id.categoryRecyclerView);

    // Instantiate the layout managervar linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager (Context, LinearLayoutManager.Vertical, false);
    _recyclerView.SetLayoutManager (linearLayoutManager);

    // Instantiate the adapter and pass in its data source:
    _adapter = new CategoryAdapter (_categories);
    //Register the item click handler with the adapter:
    _adapter.ItemClick += OnItemClick;
    // Plug the adapter into the RecyclerView:
    _recyclerView.SetAdapter (_adapter);
    return _view;
}

}
