Data Binding Android - Type parameter T has incompatible upper bounds : ViewDataBinding and MainActivity

Question

I am using Android Studio 2.0 Preview 4. I\'m using Android SDK tools 25 rc1. This error persists no matter how many times I clean / rebuild project. File->Invalidate Caches

Answer 1

One of the quickest hack i use is rename the xml file back and to.

e.g.

rename abc_layout.xml to abc_layout2.xml. once the binding import shows error rename it back to abc_layout.xml.

the short cut to rename is shift + F6. its way quicker that entire project rebuild. this will only remove error from one file though.
