*** ** * ** ***

An observable class that holds a primitive boolean.

Observable field classes may be used instead of creating an Observable object. It can also create a calculated field, depending on other fields:  

    public class MyDataObject {
         public final ObservableBoolean isAdult = new ObservableBoolean();
         public final ObservableBoolean isChild = new ObservableBoolean(isAdult) {
             @Override
             public boolean get() { return !isAdult.get(); }
         };
     }

Fields of this type should be declared final because bindings only detect changes in the field's value, not of the field itself.

This class is parcelable and serializable but callbacks are ignored when the object is parcelled / serialized. Unless you add custom callbacks, this will not be an issue because data binding framework always re-registers callbacks when the view is bound. A parceled ObservableBoolean will lose its dependencies.

## Public constructors

### ObservableBoolean

```
ObservableBoolean (boolean value)
```

Creates an ObservableBoolean with the given initial value.

<br />

|                               Parameters                               ||
|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| `value` | `boolean`: the initial value for the ObservableBoolean <br /> |

### ObservableBoolean

```
ObservableBoolean ()
```

Creates an ObservableBoolean with the initial value of`false`.

<br />

### ObservableBoolean

```
ObservableBoolean (Observable... dependencies)
```

Creates an ObservableBoolean that depends on`dependencies`. Typically,[ObservableField](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/databinding/ObservableField)s are passed as dependencies. When any dependency notifies changes, this ObservableBoolean also notifies a change.

<br />

|                                          Parameters                                          ||
|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `dependencies` | `Observable`: The Observables that this ObservableBoolean depends on. <br /> |

## Public methods

### describeContents

```
int describeContents ()
```

<br />

<br />

|    Returns    ||
|-------|--------|
| `int` | <br /> |

|-----------|--------------------------|
| `boolean` | the stored value. <br /> |

### set

```
void set (boolean value)
```

Set the stored value.

<br />

|                Parameters                ||

void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)
```

<br />

<br />

|        Parameters        ||
