Answer 1

I was having the same issue. I disabled databinding in gradle properties and it worked. dataBinding.enabled = false

Answer 2

if you're using kotlin on android studio 3.2 , replace the distributionurl with this line

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.6-all.zip

and you'll be asked to change the build tools version to the apprpriate version. once you've done that , remove this line from the app level build.gradle file

kapt 'com.android.databinding:compiler:3.0.1

and build the project. it worked for me.
