MVVM Examples–Example 2

Concept

Initialization

The binder is responsible for creating and initializing a ViewModel instance. If you want to perform your own initialization in a ViewModel, you can declare your own initial method by annotating a method with @Init . The Binder will invoke this method when initializing a ViewModel. Each ViewModel can only have one initial
method
