Android Data Binding Library in Xamarin.Android

Question

I am using Xamarin.Android (IDE: Visual Studio 2015) and would like to work with the new Data Binding Library from Google. Is it possible (and how)? Or is the Data Binding Library only available in Android Studio??

Answer 1

The data-binding library is actually part of the gradle build toolkit so isn't available in Xamarin.Android applications. However there are plenty of data binding frameworks out there. MVVMLight, MVVMCross, Bind, etc.
