Implementation Guidelines
ViewBinding
- Standard: Use ViewBinding for all XML layouts.
- Synthetics:
kotlin-android-extensionsDead. Remove it. - KAPT: Avoid DataBinding unless strictly necessary (impacts build speed).
RecyclerView
- Adapter: Always inherit
ListAdapter(wraps AsyncListDiffer). - Updates: Provide proper
DiffUtil.ItemCallback. NEVER callnotifyDataSetChanged().
Layouts
- ConstraintLayout: Use for complex flat hierarchies.
- Performance: Avoid deep nesting (LinearLayout inside LinearLayout).
Anti-Patterns
- No findViewById: Deprecated. Use ViewBinding for all XML layouts.
- No kotlin-android-extensions: Deprecated. Remove all
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.*.
