How to Ignore view component(s) that I do not want to create bindings in Android view Binding library?

I am exploring new Android View Binding library.

In my layout XML file, some views that I don't want to include in my binding class.

Does there any attribute or mechanism exist that exclude views into generated Binding class?

We can use tools:viewBindingIgnore=”true/false” to include and exclude view in generated view binding class.

Usage:

<LinearLayout
    ...
    tools:viewBindingIgnore="true" >
    ...
</LinearLayout>
