AppBarMainBinding.java / ContentMainBindind.java build error

Issue

I try to build my app and I got stack-off errors.

Example AppBarMainBinding.java error:

C:\My_App\app\build\generated\data_binding_base_class_source_out\debug\out\com\example\My_App\databinding\AppBarMainBinding.java:4:

error: package android.support.design.widget does not exist import android.support.design.widget.^CoordinatorLayout; (^displays an error item)

Solution

The problem is that the compiler can't find some classes from the android.support package. This is probably because you want to use androidx but referenced the wrong package in your layout xml.

Make sure, you use the Views and Widgets from the androidx package in your layout xml.

Also update all android.arch dependencies to their latest androidx equivalent.
