I'm using data binding within my app. I have an application module and the data binding is working successfully.
However, I also have a 'home-module' I'm trying to use the same techniques, but the data binding is erroring in the xml with the following:
Error:(63, 34) No resource type specified (at 'onClick' with value '@{viewModel::onButtonClicked}').
I've found this bug report which suggests this was an issue but it's been fixed.
I can't see any issues with the code, I think the problem is because it's in the library module.
Is there anything I can do to get this working?

Update:
Could be a bug. link
My problem:
The engine module has no UI, so the dependency was missed, makes a lot of sense now.
Say you have a multilevel module hierarchy like this in your app:
In order for databinding to work module A, you have to make sure you enable databinding in the whole hierarchy from the root module into module A.
That means you have to add:
dataBinding {
enabled = true
}
To the modules:
It is important to remember that you do have to also enable databinding in module B
, so all paths are covered.
