Just suddenly my bindings for android stoped working, anything I build now, I just get this message.
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDevDebugJavaWithJavac'.
java.lang.RuntimeException: Found data binding errors. ****/ data binding error ****msg:Cannot find the getter for attribute 'android:text' with value type java.lang.String on android.widget.EditText. file:C:\path\to\layout\layout.xml loc:85:12 - 96:54 ****\ data binding error ****
What I have tried
First it was suggested the bindings won't compile if there are errors in my files, so removed all layout files where I used bindings up to one file layout.xml. There I have
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="@{model.name}" />
... and it works well, however if i add the two-way binding android:text="@={model.name}" It throws the previous error.
Next, I add
@InverseBindingAdapter(attribute = "android:text")
public static String captureEditTextValue(EditText view) {
return view.getText().toString();
}
...then it throws new error.
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDevDebugJavaWithJavac'.
java.lang.RuntimeException: Found data binding errors. ****/ data binding error ****msg:Could not find event 'android:textAttrChanged' on View type 'android.widget.EditText' file:C:\Users\EdgeTech\AndroidStudioProjects\purse\purse-customer\app\src\main\res\layout\get_phone_layout.xml loc:85:12 - 96:54 ****\ data binding error ****
Went further, to refactor to this
@InverseBindingAdapter(attribute = "android:text", event = "android:textAttrChanged")
public static String captureEditTextValue(EditText view) {
return view.getText().toString();
}
...still gives previous error.
My Setup
- Android Studio: 2.3.3
- Gradle Build Tools: 2.3.3
Two way binding needs this type:
ObservableField<T>
for example: in viewModel.class
public ObservableField<String> productName = new ObservableField<>();
in layout.xml:
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="@={viewModel.productName}" />
