android - View Binding not work with "Include": incompatible types: ProgressBarLayoutBinding cannot be converted to ViewDataBinding

Question

Android Studio 3.6. Canary 12

build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.50'
    ext.RETROFIT_VERSION = '2.6.0'
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.0-alpha12'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

in app/build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: "kotlin-kapt"

android {

Here CoroutinesRetrofitActivity.kt

class CoroutinesRetrofitActivity : AppCompatActivity(), AgentListItemAdapter.AdapterListener {
    var agentList = ObservableArrayList<Agent>()
    private lateinit var binding: CoroutinesRetrofitActivityBinding
    private lateinit var coroutinesRetrofitViewModel: CoroutinesRetrofitViewModel
    val isVisibleNoItems = ObservableBoolean()


    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        binding = CoroutinesRetrofitActivityBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        setContentView(binding.root)
        binding.setHandler(this);

 this.coroutinesRetrofitViewModel.getIsShowProgress()
            .observe(this, object : Observer<Boolean> {
                override fun onChanged(isShowProgress: Boolean?) {
                    findViewById<View>(R.id.containerProgressBarLayout).visibility =
                        if (isShowProgress!!) View.VISIBLE else View.GONE
                }
            });

    }

But when I try to build I get error:

> Task :app:checkDebugDuplicateClasses
> Task :app:javaPreCompileDebug

> Task :app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac
estProjectsandroidTestProjectAndroidKotlinappuildgeneratedsourcekaptdebugcomandroidestprojectandroidkotlindatabindingCoroutinesRetrofitActivityBindingImpl.java:48: error: incompatible types: ProgressBarLayoutBinding cannot be converted to ViewDataBinding
        setContainedBinding(this.mboundView01);

But if I remove from xml this:

 <include
            layout="@layout/progress_bar_layout"
            android:visibility="gone" />

then error is gone.

What is wrong with progress_bar_layout ?

If I direct include progress bar in layout like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

    <data>

        <import type="android.view.View" />

        <variable
            name="handler"
            type="com.android.testproject.android.kotlin.coroutine_retrofit.ui.activity.CoroutinesRetrofitActivity" />

    </data>


    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout

            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"

            android:text="@string/retry"
            android:visibility="gone"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/toolBarContainer" />

            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"

            tools:listitem="@layout/agent_list_item" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/noActivityTextView"

        <ProgressBar

            style="?android:attr/progressBarStyle"
            android:layout_width="@dimen/min_height"
            android:layout_height="@dimen/min_height"
            android:indeterminateTint="@color/colorPrimary"
            android:visibility="gone"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</layout>

the problem is gone.

Why with include not work?

include
            layout="@layout/progress_bar_layout"
            android:visibility="gone" />

Answer 1

I found solution. If outer xml is data binding xml, then inner xml also must be data binding. So progress_bar_layout.xml must be like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        android:id="@+id/containerProgressBarLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="#66545a5a"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:elevation="2dp"
        android:focusable="true">

        <ProgressBar
            android:id="@+id/progressBar"
            style="?android:attr/progressBarStyle"
            android:layout_width="@dimen/min_height"
            android:layout_height="@dimen/min_height"
            android:indeterminateTint="@color/colorPrimary"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

</layout>
