My viewBinding not work

[DanteAndroid]

Hi, I've read your article about viewbinding and found it very useful. So I'm trying to write a version of mine. But it doesn't work. This is view binding util code:

class ViewBinding<T : ViewBinding>(
    private val fragment: Fragment,
    private val vbClass: Class<T>
) : ReadOnlyProperty<Fragment, T> {

    private val message = "should never try get ViewBinding when it might not be available"
    private var _value: T? = null

    override fun getValue(thisRef: Fragment, property: KProperty<*>): T {
        _value?.let { return it }
        _value = createViewBinding(vbClass, fragment.layoutInflater)
        return _value ?: throw IllegalStateException(message)
    }

    @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
    private fun createViewBinding(clzz: Class<T>, inflater: LayoutInflater): T =
        Class.forName(clzz.canonicalName!!).getMethod("inflate", LayoutInflater::class.java)
            .invoke(null, inflater) as T

}

inline fun <reified T : ViewBinding> Fragment.mViewBinding() = ViewBinding(this, T::class.java)

And in fragment:

class LoginFragment : Fragment(R.layout.login_fragment) {

    private val binding: LoginFragmentBinding by mViewBinding()

//    private val binding : LoginFragmentBinding by viewBinding()

    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
        with(binding) {
            message.text = "test"
            message.setOnClickListener {
                findNavController().navigate(R.id.action_loginFragment_to_mainActivity)
                activity?.supportFinishAfterTransition()
            }
        }
    }
}

Could you please help me figure it out?

not work means the message doesn't change to "test" and onClickListenner not triggered. But with your library all works fine.

It's because your ViewBinding delegate inflate new View and doesn't set assign to Fragment. Update of view is successful, but Fragment shows another View as content

Instead of call "inflate", true to use "bind" and get existed view from Fragment
