Android XML Views Standards

**Priority: P1 (HIGH)**

Implementation Guidelines

ViewBinding

  • **Standard**: Use ViewBinding for all XML layouts.
  • **Synthetics**: `kotlin-android-extensions` Dead. Remove it.
  • **KAPT**: Avoid DataBinding unless strictly necessary (impacts build speed).

RecyclerView

  • **Adapter**: Always inherit `ListAdapter` (wraps AsyncListDiffer).
  • **Updates**: Provide proper `DiffUtil.ItemCallback`. NEVER call `notifyDataSetChanged()`.

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.*`.
