Level up with Data Binding (Android Dev Summit '18)

Data Binding has come a long way, and is now an integrated part of the Architecture Components within Jetpack, thanks to built-in observation of LiveData. Level up with Data Binding and simplify your Android coding.

Thanks for the overview. Good one.
Data Binding is cool. But tools in Android Studio could make you feel pain. If it breaks somewhere and you have 100 files with data binding. There is no way to find where. You just have 100 errors. Also when a method that is called from a xml file gets renamed in java code it's not renamed in the xml file.
I hope tools will get improved over time.

no point in explaining so fast nobody will understand who is new to data binding and hard to follow for others as well.

Is there any way to get two-way data binding without exposing MutableLiveData ? I usually expose a LiveData<> getter and a separate setter that just calls setValue on the private Mutable LiveData and I really really do not want to expose the MutableLiveData, just in case I want to mess with the setter at a later time.

What's the point of this fast presentation? If you're new to it, congratulation, you just waste 5:22min. If you already known the topic, congratulation again, you just waste 5:22min. If you in between, good you still waste > 5:22min as you probably rewind, slow down and try to see if you miss anything (you did not, nothing new announcement here). Having said that, it is still a nice summary to recap, but nothing more.

Two-way databinding not explained good...

data binding is good on bind data to xml
but not make a sense like KTX "kotlin extension"
