Android data binding for TableLayout

Question

I am reading this manual https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/data-binding/index.html and it is not clear for me, how to fill the TableLayout with rows if my data is kept in ObservableArrayList? All examples assume there to show a single record, but I want to show all records in the table.
Or may be it is impossible and I should use RecyclerView instead?

It discusses how to turn lists in to Views in a ViewGroup. When you make it work for TableView, you might want to publish it here for people to use.

That said, if you have only a few Views, you can use data binding. If you're planning on having a scrolling list, you should use RecyclerView.
