How can add viewmodel to layout when the layout is split in several files?

Question

I have a layout splited in several files, this activity is an activity with drawer layout, then I have the next files:

MapActivity.java

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        ActivityMapBinding binding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_map);
        mapViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(MapViewModel.class);
        binding.setMapViewModel(mapViewModel);
        binding.setLifecycleOwner(this);

        NavHeaderMapBinding headerBinding = NavHeaderMapBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
        headerBinding.setMapViewModel(mapViewModel);
        binding.navView.addHeaderView(headerBinding.getRoot());

        ContentMapBinding contentMapBinding = ContentMapBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
        contentMapBinding.setMapViewModel(mapViewModel);


        setDrawerLayout();
        setNavigationView();
        getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
        setMap();

    }

    </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

</layout>

Then like you can see for add the databindig to the activity_map.xml I was put the next code in the Java file:

ActivityMapBinding binding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_map);
        mapViewModel = 
ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(MapViewModel.class);
        binding.setMapViewModel(mapViewModel);
        binding.setLifecycleOwner(this);

For do it in the app_bar_nav.xml I put the next code in the Java file:

NavHeaderMapBinding headerBinding = NavHeaderMapBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
        headerBinding.setMapViewModel(mapViewModel);
        binding.navView.addHeaderView(headerBinding.getRoot());

but what do I have to do to add it to the content?

I get the content and set the mapViewModel with the next code:

ContentMapBinding contentMapBinding = ContentMapBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
        contentMapBinding.setMapViewModel(mapViewModel);

But how can add this to binding for get acces to the attributes and functions?

Any idea?

Thanks

You have to set an id to your <include> tag. then you can access it.

For instance, if you do this

<include layout="@layout/content_map"
            android:id="@+id/content"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>

You will be able to access it with headerBinding.content.setMapViewModel()
