Error using databinding in android

Question

I am trying to test data binding as given in the guide here. I have included this in my build.gradle file (of module app) :

compileSdkVersion \'android-MNC\         


        

Answer 1

If you are using 'android-apt' plugin for dagger or other libraries, after enabling data binding, you have to remove 'android-apt' plugin and use 'provided' instead of 'apt' in your dependencies. For example if you are using dagger, remove this

classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.4'

and this

apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt' 

and then replace

apt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.0'

with

provided 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.0'
