android - best practices for handling UI events

Question

I have put the all the binding code for UI events on OnCreate(). It has made my OnCreate() huge.

Is there pattern around implementing UI events in android ? Can I add methods in View xml file and then I can put all the handler code somewhere else.

In a nutshell , I think I am asking how can I implement MVVM pattern with android app code ?

In 1.6 and later you can specify onClick methods in your layout XML file to trim a bit of the fat. I generally just hide it all away in a initUi() method that I have my onCreate method call. This way at least the onCreate is easier to read.
