Android Data Binding: visibility on include tag

This is a bit late, but I have run across this recently.

I believe this is actually a bug in the Data Binding compiler as it is possible to set android:visibility attribute on <include> tag directly (ie. without Databinding).

You are able to pass all necessary parameters from parent xml into included xml via "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" namespace.

The syntax is <res-auto_namespace>:<variable_name> e.g. app:isVisible

For example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <include
            layout="@layout/include_user_image"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            app:isVisible="@{true}" />

    </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
</layout>

include_user_image.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <data>

        <import type="android.view.View" />

        <variable
            name="isVisible"
            type="boolean" />

    </data>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:visibility="@{isVisible ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE}" />
</layout>

Try:

this.imageLayout.getRoot().setVisibility(NotifTypeNotificatio1);

I imagine what you are trying to do would look something like this:

In the layout you are including, specify a boolean variable and bind it to the desired view's visibility

<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <data>

        <import type="android.view.View"/>

        <variable
            name="isVisible"
            type="boolean"/>

    </data>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:visibility="@{isVisible ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE}"/>

</layout>

Then In your calling layout bind your value

<include
    android:id="@+id/image_layout"
    layout="@layout/image_layout"
    bind:isVisible="@{notification.notifType == 0}"/>
