I have just started using android development and trying to use Room library. Since yesterday I am facing this warning message that occurs when I import databinding on my MainActivity.kt
unresolved reference: databinding
It just runs fine when I input the ActivityMainBinding
class
I was using android Gradle plugin version 4.1.2, so at the first I use buildFeatures { viewBinding = true }
to migrate from kotlin synthetics and then when I try to import databinding to my MainActivity.kt the unresolved problem occur
so I try to use the older version of Binding viewBinding { enabled true }
and it fix this issue
The problem is the older version of viewbinding will no longer support to android studio version 5
I want to know how to fix this issue, any clue?

Update
when I use the older version of viewbinding, indeed it fixes the issue above But, when I try to run the Application this error occur
DSL element 'android.dataBinding.enabled' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'android.buildFeatures.dataBinding'.
add this your build.gradle
android {
buildFeatures {
dataBinding = true
viewBinding = true
}
}
