How to set binding in a Fragment? - sqlite

Question

I'm trying to build a "Note taking" area in my app. I'm having problems with the view binding specifically. i followed this code example "https://codingwithsaud.medium.com/how-to-make-note-app-in-android-studio-part-1-443ccf16921e" to a T, but its mainly built in an activity not a fragment. I'm currently building it in an fragment and everything else is good besides my "Equipment_Tracker.kt" i cant figure out whats going wrong. The list problems take place in the "Equipment_Tracker.kt" Thanks in advance for helping.
List off errors popping up.

Answer 1

Binding is wrong Please check this documentation for the view Binding
https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/view-binding#kts
In Activity you can initialize the lateinit var binding: ActivityMainBinding
and can inflate the view like this
binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
val view = binding.root
setContentView(view)
But for the fragments the way is different
private var _binding: FragmentMainBinding? = null
private val binding get() = _binding!!
and in onCreateView method you have to do it like this
_binding = FragmentMainBinding.inflate(inflater, container, false)
val view = binding.root
return view
Please make sure that you do it in onCreateView not in onViewCreated
and in onDestroyView you have to set its value to null
override fun onDestroyView() {
super.onDestroyView()
_binding = null
}
That is the Proper way of doing binding you can also visit the documentation for more information
