I'm trying to make a string comparison with android XML data binding, but I'm not having the right results.
Evaluating my expression in code, I try notice.action == "continue"
and this is false. And in data binding, this is false too, of course.
android:textColor='@{ notice.action == "continue" ? @color/enabledPurple : @color/disabledGray}'
It only gets true when I do notice.action.equals("continue")
by code. This is the intended behavior. My problem is that I can't accomplish this with data binding expressions, because it won't run methods like equals
. What can I do to replace the comparison expression with another one that works?
I'm using this guide.
Edit: I was wrong, methods are allowed in XML. Did it this way:
android:textColor='@{ notice.action.equals("continue") ? @color/enabledPurple : @color/disabledGray}'
It can be do in two way :-
1. First way inside xml :-
android:textColor="@{notice.action.equals(`continue`) ? @color/enabledPurple : @color/disabledGray }"
2. Second way (programatically) Inside xml :-
app:setColor="@{notice.action}"
inside activity or custom class : -
@BindingAdapter("setColor")
public static void setTextColor(TextView textView, String s) {
Context context = textView.getContext();
textView.setTextColor(s.equals("continue") ? context.getResources().getColor(R.color.enabledPurple) : context.getResources().getColor(R.color.disabledGray));
}
