Does Kotlin’s view binding work with layouts located in other modules? I’m getting the error Unresolved reference: account_card from the following line:

import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.account_card.view.*

There was a similar stackoverflow question posted a few months ago, but it didn’t get any response. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48808542/android-kotlin-kotlinx-module-level-view-binding

Is that layout actually inflated? I would think that wouldn’t be the best approach. Like if I have a lib module and I was to access its layouts views, than it should exposed via that actual module. perhaps via getter/setter properties

[rkeazor]

never the less, I think it will also depend if both modules have applied the plugin or have the right visibility scope. than you can probably do viewFromModule.[the binded view you want]

this is not supported yet.

Thanks @pdegand! I’ll keep an eye on that ticket

@rkeazor in this case, I’m writing an Adapter for a RecyclerView, so I’m addressing instances of views, rather than views as local variables.

Calling them as itemView.name.text works fine

Either way, I’ve flattened that module out and into the main module and its working fine. Thanks again, @pdegand!

but shouldn’t that be address via <dataSet> ? maybe I’m misreading what your saying lol. Glad you figured it out. Also be careful I think that view caching isn’t available outside of the activity or fragment. It was an experimental feature last time I checked
