How to Use View Binding in RecyclerView Adapter Class in Android?

// this is the Language model class
class Language(
    val name : String ="",
    val exp : String =""
)

import android.view.LayoutInflater
import android.view.ViewGroup
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
import com.geeksforgeeks.rvadapterviewbinding.databinding.SingleItemBinding

class RvAdapter(
    var languageList: List<Language>,
) : RecyclerView.Adapter<RvAdapter.ViewHolder>() {

    // create an inner class with name ViewHolder
    // It takes a view argument, in which pass the generated class of single_item.xml
    // ie SingleItemBinding and in the RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root) pass it like this
    inner class ViewHolder(val binding: SingleItemBinding) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root)

    // inside the onCreateViewHolder inflate the view of SingleItemBinding
    // and return new ViewHolder object containing this layout
    override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ViewHolder {
        val binding = SingleItemBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(parent.context), parent, false)

        return ViewHolder(binding)
    }

    // bind the items with each item 
      // of the list languageList 
      // which than will be
    // shown in recycler view
    // to keep it simple we are
      // not setting any image data to view
    override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
        with(holder){
            with(languageList[position]){
                binding.tvLangName.text = this.name
                binding.tvExp.text = this.exp
            }
        }
    }

    // return the size of languageList
    override fun getItemCount(): Int {
        return languageList.size
    }
}

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import com.geeksforgeeks.rvadapterviewbinding.databinding.ActivityMainBinding

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    // view binding for the activity
    private var _binding : ActivityMainBinding? = null
    private val binding get() = _binding!!

    // create reference to the adapter and the list
    // in the list pass the model of Language
    private lateinit var rvAdapter: RvAdapter
    private lateinit var languageList : List<Language>

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        _binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        setContentView(binding.root)

        // load data to language list
        loadLanguage()
        
        // create  layoutManager
        val layoutManager: RecyclerView.LayoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)
       
        // pass it to rvLists layoutManager 
        binding.rvList.setLayoutManager(layoutManager)
        
        // initialize the adapter, 
          // and pass the required argument
        rvAdapter = RvAdapter(languageList)
        
        // attach adapter to the recycler view
        binding.rvList.adapter = rvAdapter
    }

    // add items to the list manually in our case
    private fun loadLanguage() {
        languageList = listOf(
            Language("Java" , "Exp : 3 years"),
            Language("Kotlin" , "Exp : 2 years"),
            Language("Python" , "Exp : 4 years"),
            Language("JavaScript" , "Exp : 6 years"),
            Language("PHP" , "Exp : 1 years"),
            Language("CPP" , "Exp : 8 years"),
        )
    }

    // on destroy of view make 
      // the binding reference to null
    override fun onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy()
        _binding = null
    }
}
