I have a multi-module Android project, with Kotlin, databinding v2, under Android Studio 3.1.3. Most of my databinding-enabled layouts are enclosed in library modules, which the final application module aggregates.
Problem starts when I want to add new layout in my application module, or override layout from one of library modules. After adding a test layout with <layout> tag to the application module, databinding stops generating, with the following error:
error: cannot find symbol
public static TestBinding bind(@NonNull View view, @Nullable DataBindingComponent component) {
^
symbol: class DataBindingComponent
location: class TestBinding
e: error: cannot generate view binders java.lang.NullPointerException

All DataBindingComponent interfaces from library modules are being generated, only the one from the application module is not generated.

We can go further and create multiple application modules in one project, so that: every application module represents a simplified version of the app, with nothing else but only one certain feature included; each team/developer only compiles the code they’re currently working on.
Properly splitting the project into modules will decrease your build times and also helps with code reuse and maintenance. It’s great except the build.gradle file and it’s content that you have to copy and paste everywhere.
The most common binding adapters, such as the adapters for the android:text property used in the examples in this page, are available for you to use in the android.databinding.adapters package. For a list of the common binding adapters, see adapters . You can also create custom adapters, as shown in the following example:
We need to check for LibraryExtension (as they use consumer-rules.pro) and AppExtension (as they normally use proguar-rules.pro) within the android block. Then add dependencies that will be shared among all the modules. Here is an example of typical android libraries. Now we need to configure the build.gradle of the app module.
I've had similar issue after migrating to androidx namespace. Make sure you've updated:
1.your gradle wrapper to 4.10.1 in gradle-wrapper-properties
2.you use gradle build plugin 3.3.0-beta-1
With this configuration everything works fine. Make also sure you don't have any databinding kapt or apt annotated dependencies in app.gradle as since 3.2.0 it is already bundled to gradle
