I am implementing DataBinding
, it is working perfect, but it is not allowing me to use jackOptions
. It throws error Data Binding does not support Jack builds yet
while build.
Here is my build.gradle
android {
defaultConfig {
...
dataBinding {
enabled true
}
jackOptions {
enabled true
}
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
From yigit's comment it's clear that this functionality is still under development as he and George are project member of DataBinding.
we are working on it... yigit
I have also found that issue is already reported Issue 210615: Databinding with Jack compiler
UPDATE
2.3 will allow you to use data binding with jack but it still has limitations
Google will add support for Java 8 language features directly into the
current javac and dx set of tools, and deprecate the Jack toolchain.

Updates:
Java 8 language features are now supported by the Android build system
Yesterday, we released Android Studio 2.4 Preview 6. Java 8 language
features are now supported by the Android build system in the javac/dx
compilation path. Android Studio's Gradle plugin now desugars Java 8
class files to Java 7-compatible class files, so you can use lambdas,
method references and other features of Java 8.

As of gradle:2.2.0-alpha5, Jack builds are not yet compatible with DataBinding.
If you want to use data binding with Java 8, you can use retrolambda.
