/**
* BindingAdapter is applied to methods that are used to manipulate how values with expressions
* are set to views. The simplest example is to have a public static method that takes the view
* and the value to set:
*
*@BindingAdapter("android:bufferType")
* public static void setBufferType(TextView view, TextView.BufferType bufferType) {
* view.setText(view.getText(), bufferType);
* }
* In the above example, when android:bufferType is used on a TextView, the method
* setBufferType is called.
*
* It is also possible to take previously set values, if the old values are listed first:
*
*@BindingAdapter("android:onLayoutChange")
* public static void setOnLayoutChangeListener(View view, View.OnLayoutChangeListener oldValue,
* View.OnLayoutChangeListener newValue) {
* if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
* if (oldValue != null) {
* view.removeOnLayoutChangeListener(oldValue);
* }
* if (newValue != null) {
* view.addOnLayoutChangeListener(newValue);
* }
* }
* }
* When a binding adapter may also take multiple attributes, it will only be called when all
* attributes associated with the binding adapter have binding expressions associated with them.
* This is useful when there are unusual interactions between attributes. For example:
*
*@BindingAdapter({"android:onClick", "android:clickable"})
* public static void setOnClick(View view, View.OnClickListener clickListener,
* boolean clickable) {
* view.setOnClickListener(clickListener);
* view.setClickable(clickable);
* }
* The order of the parameters must match the order of the attributes in values in the
* BindingAdapter.
*
* A binding adapter may optionally take a class extending DataBindingComponent as the first
* parameter as well. If it does, it will be passed the value passed in during binding, either
* directly in the inflate method or indirectly, using the value from
* {@link DataBindingUtil#getDefaultComponent()}.
*
* If a binding adapter is an instance method, the generated DataBindingComponent will have
* a getter to retrieve an instance of the BindingAdapter's class to use to call the method.
