Listener Binding; Cannot Find the Setter

Question

I am trying to implement listener bindings, but when I run my code I get the following error:

Caused by: android.databinding.tool.util.LoggedErrorException: Found data binding errors.
****/ data binding error ****msg:Cannot find the setter for attribute 'android:onClick' with parameter type lambda on android.widget.Button. file:~/GithubBrowser/app/src/main/res/layout/loading_state.xml loc:30:31 - 30:52 ****\ data binding error ****

This is the layout file in question:

<?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">

    <data>
        <import type="com.example.app.data.model.Resource"/>
        <import type="com.example.app.data.model.Status"/>
        <variable name="resource" type="Resource"/>
        <variable name="callback" type="com.example.app.ui.common.RetryCallback"/>
    </data>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:padding="@dimen/default_margin">

        <Button android:id="@+id/retry"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/retry"
            android:onClick="@{() -> callback.retry()}"/>

    </LinearLayout>

</layout>

And this is the RetryCallback interface referenced in the layout:

package com.example.app.ui.common

interface RetryCallback {

    fun retry()

}

The top-level build.gradle:

I just had that issue and I have managed to solve it by deleting .idea, .gradle and gradle folders and let Android Studio recreate whole project from scratch from gradle files.
