Answer 1

Thanks to Yigit!

The issue was not directly link to Android Databinding. There were a bug in the project (some variables not correctly setted)

I would recommend to use gradle with "--debug and --stacktrace" for more informations, it's helping a lot.

Answer 2

if you tried this steps

1. invalidate/restart`
2. keeping this properties in gradel.properties

android.databinding.enableV2=false
android.enableExperimentalFeatureDatabinding=true

and checking all xml files looks good. then you should go with this solution, add below code in project level build.gradle

    allprojects {
    gradle.projectsEvaluated {
        tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
            options.compilerArgs << "-Xmaxerrs" << "1000"
        }
    }
}

this will give you exact error where you have actual error explanation: above code will increase the size of the compile error

Answer 3

Package name should start with small letter. for example Activities is wrong it'll give an error instead refactor->rename to activities

Answer 4

On my particular case, I was using Dagger 2. This package error appears in a lot of classes without any relation with the original error: a dependency injection error.

Happy reminder: Scroll more on your stacktrace to know what is the real problem.

Answer 5

Make sure your package name start with lowercase letter. in my case issue solved after two hours of struggle

Answer 6

Make sure your model's fields you reference in layout have public access modifiers
