cannot access viewBinding

I'm now using viewBinding with Kotlin.

here is my build.gradle

enable ViewBinding and has auto import ViewBinding dependency.

but Android Studio still shows error like this

but I can build and run with no problem.

and if I add viewBinding in dependencies, then the error is gone.

Does anyone know why?

Facing same issue exact error yesterday. Solution work for me is

• Step 1- Remove .Idea Folder
• Step 2- Close android studio
• Step 3- Reopen android studio with same project path (This will genarate new .Idea folder)

and Error is gone

Making sure

1. android.useAndroidX=true. inside gradle.properties file
2. inside app build.gradle

 buildFeatures {
       viewBinding true
 }

3. Always Use folder structure with samll case latter only class name is allowed to be Uppercase
4. If you are using any Copyright-Comment at top of xml or Layout tag without variable tag or we can say without any data then remove that and try to clean/rebuild project
