Example showing how to use LiveData with Data Binding by using support introduced in Android Studio 3.1 Canary 6. You can read more here in my blogpost: Architecture Components: How to use LiveData with Data Binding?

To use this project, you need to have proper version of Android Studio and Android Gradle plugin.

Android Studio in version 3.1 Canary 6 (at least). You can check your version and possible updates by clicking Help -> Check for Update (on Mac, Android Studio -> Check for Updates).

To use LiveData with Data Binding in your project, you need also upgrade Android Gradle plugin version in your app/build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0-alpha06'
    }
}

If you use Kotlin, you need to change this version also for Data Binding compiler:

kapt 'com.android.databinding:compiler:3.1.0-alpha06'

Project has three layers:

• Model - package containing a simply Kitty class
• View - package containing an activity showing kitty name and age <wow>
• ViewModel - package containing KittyRepository class that simulates getting new kitties every minute

• Paulina Szklarska - @p_szklarska - @pszklarska
