Databinding Redirection to xml is not working in android studio 3.1.2

Question

I have updated android studio to latest version(3.1.2) and now when I click on BindingClass with ctrl it's not opening xml file for it which was working in previous version. And I have tried the same thing with creating new project in same version of android studio but it's working on it.

So I am thinking that I have added some wrong dependencies or I have done something wrong. So please guide me regarding this issue.

Here is the build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'

Thank you so much.

For opening related XML

Android Studio has a new icon for related XML redirection. My AS version is 3.2.1.

An hack for opening Binding Class.

• Ctrl + N (Open File)
• Type ActivityMainBinding {or first letters - Amb for ActivityMainBinding if you are smart enough :)
• Hit enter on ActivityMainBinding

FYI I faced this problem in Java class only, [Go to declaration] works well with kotlin.
