I have a Fragment that displays a list of cities with weather informations. I am using a RecyclerView and I am trying to implement the Data Binding Library in my RecyclerView Adapter but for some reason I get this compile error :
> error: cannot find symbol import
com.example.zach.weatherapp.databinding.CityListItemBindingImpl;
> ^
> symbol: class CityListItemBindingImpl
> location: package com.example.zach.weatherapp.databinding
It's an auto generated class so i really don't know where the error is. I had the same error previously for other layouts when there was someting wrong in the xml file but here it seems fine.
ForecastAdapter.kt
package com.example.zach.weatherapp.Adapter
import ...
class ForecastAdapter(var myDataset: List<City>) :
RecyclerView.Adapter<ForecastAdapter.ForecastViewHolder>() {
var context:Context?=null
// Provide a reference to the views for each data item
// Complex data items may need more than one view per item, and
// you provide access to all the views for a data item in a view holder.
class ForecastViewHolder(var binding: CityListItemBinding) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root){
fun bind(city: City){
binding.city = city
}
}
// Create new views (invoked by the layout manager)
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup,
viewType: Int): ForecastAdapter.ForecastViewHolder {
context = parent.context
val layoutIdForListItem = R.layout.city_list_item
val inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context)
val shouldAttachToParentImmediately = false
val binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate<CityListItemBinding>(inflater,layoutIdForListItem,parent,shouldAttachToParentImmediately)
//val view = inflater.inflate(layoutIdForListItem, parent, shouldAttachToParentImmediately)
return ForecastViewHolder(binding)
}
// Replace the contents of a view (invoked by the layout manager)
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ForecastViewHolder, position: Int) {
val city = myDataset[position]
holder.bind(city)
Glide.with(context)
.load("http://openweathermap.org/img/w/${city.weather[0].icon}.png")
.into(holder.binding.forceastImageView)
holder.binding.container.setOnClickListener{ view: View ->
Timber.d("Clicked on city %s",city.name)
Navigation.findNavController(view).navigate(ListFragmentDirections.actionListFragmentToForecastDetailsFragment(city.id))}
}
// Return the size of your dataset (invoked by the layout manager)
override fun getItemCount() = myDataset.size
}

It might just be an Android Studio error because the xml file seems fine.
UPDATE :
Error seems to come from Xml. I removed the android:text="@{city.xxx}" in my xml layout and instead updated my textViews manually in my ViewHolder bind method like so :
fun bind(boundCity: City){
with(binding){
cityNameTextview.text = boundCity.name
cityForecastTextview.text = boundCity.weather[0].description
maxTemperatureTextview.text = "${boundCity.main.temp_max}°"
minTemperatureTextview.text = "${boundCity.main.temp_min}°"
Glide.with(root.context)
.load("http://openweathermap.org/img/w/${boundCity.weather[0].icon}.png")
.into(forceastImageView)
container.setOnClickListener{ view: View ->
Timber.d("Clicked on city %s",boundCity.name)
Navigation.findNavController(view).navigate(ListFragmentDirections.actionListFragmentToForecastDetailsFragment(boundCity.id))}
}
}
And I no longer get the error. The error comes whenever I add android:text="@{city.xx}" in my textviews and bind the city variable in the bind method. I still don't know why though....
