I need to use BottomSheetBehavior with ScrollView but it says to me :

Unexpected namespace prefix "app" found for tag RelativeLayout

app:behavior_hideable="true"
app:behavior_peekHeight="80dp"

Here is my xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

This issue is well known in while using data-binding in a layout.

Assume you want to use some data binding attribute with app: prefix then just adding xmlns:app... will not be enough. layout should be data binding layout wrapped with <layout tag.

Incorrect Approach:

e.g. I imported layout_toolbar_default.xml and using app:toolbarTitle to specify title.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    >

    <include
        layout="@layout/layout_toolbar_default"
        app:toolbarTitle="@{@string/app_name}"
        />

</LinearLayout>

This will show error Unexpected namespace prefix "app" found.

Solution:

Wrap your layout with <layout tag because you are using binding attribute.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        >

        <include
            layout="@layout/layout_toolbar_default"
            app:toolbarTitle="@{@string/app_name}"
            />

    </LinearLayout>
</layout>
