InverseBindingMethod

public abstract @interface InverseBindingMethod
implements Annotation

android.databinding.InverseBindingMethod

InverseBindingMethod is used to identify how to listen for changes to a View property and which getter method to call. InverseBindingMethod should be associated with any class as part of InverseBindingMethods. 

  @InverseBindingMethods({@InverseBindingMethod(      type = android.widget.TextView.class,      attribute = "android:text",      event = "android:textAttrChanged",      method = "getText")})  public class MyTextViewBindingAdapters { ... }

method is optional. If it isn't provided, the attribute name is used to find the method name, either prefixing with "is" or "get". For the attribute android:text, data binding will search for a public CharSequence getText() method on TextView.

event is optional. If it isn't provided, the event name is assigned the attribute name suffixed with AttrChanged. For the android:text attribute, the default event name would be android:textAttrChanged. The event should be set using a BindingAdapter. For example: 

  @BindingAdapter(value = {"android:beforeTextChanged", "android:onTextChanged",                           "android:afterTextChanged", "android:textAttrChanged"},                           requireAll = false)  public static void setTextWatcher(TextView view, final BeforeTextChanged before,                                    final OnTextChanged on, final AfterTextChanged after,                                    final InverseBindingListener textAttrChanged) {      TextWatcher newValue = new TextWatcher() {          ...          @Override          public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {              if (on != null) {                  on.onTextChanged(s, start, before, count);              }              if (textAttrChanged != null) {                  textAttrChanged.onChange();              }          }      }      TextWatcher oldValue = ListenerUtil.trackListener(view, newValue, R.id.textWatcher);      if (oldValue != null) {          view.removeTextChangedListener(oldValue);      }      view.addTextChangedListener(newValue);  }
