ViewFactory

[androidJvm] @WorkflowUiExperimentalApi()

interface ViewFactoryRenderingT : Any> : ViewRegistry.Entry<RenderingT>

This will be deprecated in favor of ScreenViewFactory very soon.

Factory for View instances that can show renderings of typeRenderingT.

Two concrete ViewFactory implementations are provided:

• The various [bind](../-layout-runner/-companion/bind.md) methods on [LayoutRunner](../-layout-runner/index.md) allow easy use of Android XML layout resources and AndroidX ViewBinding.
• [BuilderViewFactory](../-builder-view-factory/index.md) allows views to be built from code.

It’s simplest to have your rendering classes implement AndroidViewRendering to associate them with appropriate an appropriate ViewFactory. For more flexibility, and to avoid coupling your workflow directly to the Android runtime, see ViewRegistry.
