MvvMCross bind to <include> in android layout
binding, datacontext, include, mvvmcross, xamarin.android
Solution
There's nothing to bind on the outside of the `include` - but you can put normal binding on the inside of the file - it then just gets included in at compile time. See one example in: https://github.com/MvvmCross/MvvmCross-Tutorials/blob/master/ApiExamples/ApiExamples.Droid/Resources/Layout/Test_If.axml
If instead you want an inner 'layout' with its own `DataContext`, try `MvxView` - for an example of that see `MvxFrameControl` - as used in part of N=26 - see https://github.com/MvvmCross/NPlus1DaysOfMvvmCross/blob/b405eef7dddf4d65b00116e142855653eae9f06b/N-26-Fraggle/Rock.Droid/Resources/Layout/FirstView.axml
Problem
Is it possible to bind an object `X` to the include tag, so that the context of binding in the included layout is `X`? I want to use a layout multiple times, but not in a list. MainLayout.xml ``` ... <include android:id="@+id/btnDealerMap" android:layout_width="64dp" android:layout_height="64dp" android:visibility="gone" layout="@layout/ServiceBarButtonPhone" local:MvxBind="??? X" /> ... ``` ServiceBarButtonPhone.xml `Title` and `Text` are properties of `X`. ``` <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:local="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/..." android:layout_width="96dp" android:layout_height="96dp"> <TextView ... android:id="@+id/txtTitle" local:MvxBind="Text Title" /> <TextView ... android:id="@+id/txtText" local:MvxBind="Text Text" /> </RelativeLayout> ```
