I am new to Android Studio. I wrote a simple code in the main_activity.xml
file, with ids
. But when I try to reference the ids
from my MainActivity.kt
file. It shows an error Unresolved reference: btnDatePicker
i.e an unresolved error.
I don’t know what wrong. Here’s a screenshot of my MainActivity.kt
file. As you can see, when I try to call the id
btnDatePicker, it returns an error.
And Here’s a screenshot of my activity_main.xml
, as you’ll see I have circled the particular id
I’m trying to reference.

}
Usage
then use your xml elements
Id cannot be referenced directly
Under normal conditions, you can bind the control using the following code:
and if you want to use id directly, i think this article can help you
View Binding
Just add this in your gradle file in plugins id ‘kotlin-android-extensions’

}
