Hey Guyss!! Already we have seen the basics of Databinding and how to use it in previous  post . Now let's see how to use Databinding in RecyclerView . And Its gonna be a short post. ;) You can find the Project in GitHub . Prerequisite: build.gradle First, we have enable dataBinding in app-level build.gradle                           android {                                     dataBinding {                                             enabled = true                                     }                            } Next, we have add the following plugin.                               apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'  Next, we have to include dependency for databinding, (Not needed, if using Android Studio 3.2 or above, since its already bundled)                             kapt "com.android.databinding:compiler:3.2.0-alpha10" Implementation: We can directly bind the data to RecyclerView's Adapter layout.
