error: package android.view does not exist

Question

I am getting this error in view bindings file generated by Android studio. I have added

buildFeatures {
        viewBinding true
    }

to the app build.gradle file.

Answer 1

In your build.gradle(:app) file,

compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

Try changing the java version. I got the same error when using VERSION_11 but the VERSION_1_8 fixed the issue.
