Android Studio Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Android Studio – ViewBinding with Java11, AndroidStudio always shows error (but runs without any problem)

I notice that with Java8 there is no problem with viewBinding in AndroidStudio (Arctic Fox).

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
buildFeatures {
    viewBinding true
}

However, once I set compileOptions to JavaVersion.VERSION_11, AndroidStudio always falsely shows viewBiding(s) errors though it can compile and run with no problem.

I tested this with a fresh new project in AndroidStudio ArcticFox. It suggests to import the class. After imported, it says Package not found:

Is this AndroidStudio’s bug, or are there any misconfiguration about Java compiler setting in my AndroidStudio?

All I did something particular was JavaVersion.VERSION_11.

    remove the import line from your project and import it again by pressing Alt+Enter then inform me

    import com.myapplication.databinding.ActivityMainBinding;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {   

ActivityMainBinding binding;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);


        binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
        View view = binding.getRoot();
        setContentView(view);

}

}

    I had this issue, and I did the following:

    • Run the gradle updater

      OR
    • open the terminal and run gradlew help --scan, it will generate a report that tells will what you should edit before migrate to Gradle 7.0
    • open your gradle.properties and distributionUrl to https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip
    • Go to your Project build.gradle and set the classpath to com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0.
    • Sync with Gradle FIles and rebuild your project.
