Cannot find symbol DataBindingComponent on Android Studio 3.2 Canary 16 Kotlin project
I just created a new project on Android Studio 3.2 Canary 16 with Kotlin enabled. Then I also enabled data binding, but I'm getting an error saying that it could not find the DataBindingComponent class.
Here's my project gradle:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.41'
ext.android_plugin_version = '3.2.0-alpha10'
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0-alpha16'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
My module gradle file:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
android {
compileSdkVersion 27
defaultConfig {
applicationId "net.julianonunes.myapp"
minSdkVersion 22
targetSdkVersion 27
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
dataBinding {
enabled = true
}
}
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation"org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.0'
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.10.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
kapt "com.android.databinding:compiler:3.1.2"
}
My activity's xml:
<?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"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<data>
<variable
name="data"
type="net.julianonunes.myapp.RegisterData" />
</data>
....
</layout>
And here's the build output:

What is wrong with my project?
PS: The problem also happens on Android Studio 3.1.2
Answer
With the following setup
Android Studio 3.2.1 Build #AI-181.5540.7.32.5056338, built on October 8, 2018 JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1136-b06 x86_64 JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o macOS 10.13.3
And DataBinding simply enable by having this in my app build.gradle
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
and then
dataBinding {
enabled = true
}
and also this in my gradle.wrapper properties
android.databinding.enableV2=true
I had the same errors:
could not find the DataBindingComponent class.
I had more than 100 of them. It turned out that those errors were not important and that the true underlying error was not showed by the IDE. Therefore, I increased the number of errors that the Kotlin compiler can display by adding this in build.gradle:
dataBinding {
enabled = true
}
kapt {
javacOptions {
// Increase the max count of errors from annotation processors.
// Default is 100.
option("-Xmaxerrs", 500)
}
}
An suddenly, right below all those fake errrors, I saw the real one caused by a failed merge conflict resolution 😔
