layout - How bind Android DataBinding to Menu?

Question

As it supports Data Binding menu in android? I write this code, but error: "Error:(16, 26) No resource type specified (at 'visible' with value '@{item.visible}')."

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<data>
   <variable
        name="item"
        type="ru.dixy.ubiworkerchecklistsmobile.Models.Fact"/>
    <import type="android.view.View"/>
</data>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/compliteitem"
        android:title="mybutton"
        android:icon="@drawable/complite"
        android:visible="@{item.visible}"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom"
         />
</menu>

"At the moment, data binding is only for layout resources, not menu resources"

But, the behaviour can be achieved with Observable.OnPropertyChangedCallback. First you need to define OnPropertyChangedCallback:

private final Observable.OnPropertyChangedCallback propertyChangedCallback = new Observable.OnPropertyChangedCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onPropertyChanged(Observable observable, int i) {
        getActivity().invalidateOptionsMenu();
    }
};

Assuming that you have a binding for Fact model in your fragment:

<variable
    name="item"
    type="ru.dixy.ubiworkerchecklistsmobile.Models.Fact"/>

Now you need to register propertyChangedCallback and unregister it when you are done with it:

@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    binding.getItem().addOnPropertyChangedCallback(propertyChangedCallback);
}

@Override
public void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    binding.getItem().removeOnPropertyChangedCallback(propertyChangedCallback);
}

Now we are ready update your view state based on the Fact model:

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_fact, menu);
}

@Override
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
    menu.findItem(R.id.compliteitem).setVisible(binding.getItem().isVisible());
}
