Android - DataBinding - How and when the Binding classes will be generated?

Question

DataBinding Guide States

  By default, a Binding class will be generated based on the name of the layout 
file, converting it to Pascal case and suffixing “Bindi         


        

Answer 1

Try to rename layout to main_activity.xml.

In my case, it didn't work to generate binding class for "activity_main.xml".
But renaming the layout file to main_activity.xml worked just fine.
