Why using View Binding is changing the layout?

问题

Actual Code:

My Main Activity:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private lateinit var binding: ActivityMainBinding

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)

        val rollButton = binding.rollButton
        rollButton.setOnClickListener { rollDice() }

        setContentView(binding.root)
    }

    private fun rollDice() {
        val randomDiceRoll = Random.nextInt(6) + 1
        Toast.makeText(this, randomDiceRoll.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        binding.resultText.text = randomDiceRoll.toString()
    }

My XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/result_text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:text="@string/count"
        android:textSize="30sp" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/roll_button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:text="@string/roll" />

</LinearLayout>

Preview in android studio:

Actual layout in device:

If I change setContentView(binding.root) to setContentView(R.layout.activity_main), the layout of Android Studio and the device become the same, but of course, the button doesn't work anymore...

Why does this happen? Why is ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater) changing the layout? How to fix this?

Thanks

Most likely caused by how the container is not passed to the inflater if the view is inflated like this.

You could try the following instead:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/root"

And

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private lateinit var binding: ActivityMainBinding

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        binding = ActivityMainBinding.bind(findViewById(R.id.root))

        val rollButton = binding.rollButton
        rollButton.setOnClickListener { rollDice() }

Maybe you should set android:layout_height as match_parent in your linearlayout and align inner views in it.
