Can not remove generated DataBinding code

Question

I used DataBinding in one of my classes CardRecicleViewAdapterTech.class , but I imported a library which does not support DataBinding and I switched to butter knifefor that class. The problem is that when I run the project, Android Studio always generates a class binding related with CardRecicleViewAdapterTech.class and this causes a crash. The generated class is:

CardViewTechBinding.java

I have deleted that java file in Android Studio databinding folder, but its generated again and again even when I do not use databinding anymore in my xml or my class.

This is my layout where I do not using dataBinding

card_view_tech.xml

so that generate CardViewTechBinding.java even when I am not using dataBinding

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I tried to restart my Pc and Invalidate cache and restart Android Studio but without success. Please help.

Solution 1

In this order:

1.- Remove your file generated (build folder)
2.- Clean your project
3.- Invalidate cache and restart Android Studio
4.- Restart computer

Solution 2

I had the same issue, and it was caused by having <layout> root tags in the XML. I did not realise that these tags were databinding related and the compiler also does not help you in this regard.

have you tried to clean a project?

[JoCuTo]

yes I did, nothing changes

[Alexander Perfilyev]

have you tried to disable it in build.gradle file?

[JoCuTo]

I can not, becouse I use it in a few clases

[hiddeneyes02]

Worked without restarting computer.

[Ashutosh Sagar]

Have to do every time I make a change in the layout file. Any alternate to avoid it?

[Abner Escócio]

I'm did just the first step and it worked fine. Thanks!

I think this is not answer.

I had a huge problem with gradle reusing some old generated binding files. Tried deleting gradle cache folder, restarting Android Studio etc., but this was the only solution (disable data binding - rebuild - enable data binding) which worked for me.

Project Span - > App -> build -> Generated.

Thanks, this is the answer that helped after I had tried everything.
