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


Solution

  • Databinding libraries are being refactored as a part of androidx refactoring.

    I found the databinding annotation processor dependency link from google's maven repository here.

    I've constructed the actual gradle dependency from there.

    kapt "androidx.databinding:databinding-compiler:3.2.0-alpha16"
    

    Update As of Android studio 3.2.0-beta01, databinding no longer needs its annotation processor dependency to be declared in the gradle file, since databinding is capable of resolving its dependency.

    In the latest versions of Android Studio you just to enable the databinding/viewbinding in the gradle file of the app module.

    buildFeatures {
        viewBinding true
        dataBinding true
    }
