This library is a sample app of data binding using simple features.
To use the feture of databinding first we have added dependency in project gradle file
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
classpath 'com.android.databinding:dataBinder:1.0-rc4'
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.android.databinding'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
defaultConfig {
