when I try to use databinding it generates android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout instead of androidx equivalent

[rkeazor]

if your using databinding, why would you be using android-kotlin-extenstions

[rkeazor]

thats what its suppose to do

[kartikpatodi]

It is a java + kotlin project

[rkeazor]

yea but what is the point in using both?

[rkeazor]

i mean databinding , and the extentsions

[kartikpatodi]

Well even though i remove extentions then also it should genetate classes with imports according to androidx namespace

[kartikpatodi]

For constraint layout

[rkeazor]

gotcha, although, im not sure what you mean.. If your using kotlin extentsions , than it goes by ID. its not possible for you to just type an id and than it auto import an a view group

[rkeazor]

unless your id is ConstraintLayout

[rkeazor]

lol

[rkeazor]

although I wonder, if Databinding gives you the same capability🤔. can’t remember

[kartikpatodi]

@rkeazor using databinging fir generating java class only... With daggr

[rkeazor]

🤔

[rkeazor]

i have no idea what your talking about😂 what does dagger have to do with databinding.

[kartikpatodi]

No prob let it be

[rkeazor]

hehe just playing dude. if you post some sample code maybe it will give more context..

[kartikpatodi]

i have no idea what your talking about😂 what does dagger have to do with databinding.

Sorry it is not.... mixed issues of two different projects
maybe should take the day off

[gildor]

Android Extensions is not replacement for Databinding library. Binding library can do much-much more than just search for views by id.

[kartikpatodi]

@gildor can you explain the behavior in the main issue

[gildor]

Actually really interesting issue. Do you use androidx.constraintlayout, but binding generates android.support? Do you use jettifier? Are you sure that it's not a problem of some of your binding adapters?
I just don't think that binding library knows anything about Constraint Layout, maybe some bug of jettifier with code generation

[gildor]

If you have reproduction steps, please let me know, I would like to vote up this issue

[gildor]

I would like, but our app with bindings is not use androidx yet, but another app already on androidx without issues, but no bindings there

[kartikpatodi]

actually i am not familiar with the data binding library I am trying to implement this codelab
https://github.com/googlecodelabs/android-build-an-app-architecture-components

[kartikpatodi]

I bumped up the dependencies all the way to support AS 3.2-alpha17

[kartikpatodi]

and refactored to androidX

[kartikpatodi]

please try and let me know @gildor

[kartikpatodi]

also it is java and trying to convert to kotlin ass well 🙂

[rkeazor]

Ohhh

[rkeazor]

wait a sec

[rkeazor]

are you trying to use extensions in Java?

[kartikpatodi]

which extensions?

[rkeazor]

androidx

[kartikpatodi]

yes

[rkeazor]

thats not possible , i believe

[kartikpatodi]

but androidx and ktx are two different things I guess you are mixing these two

[kartikpatodi]

androidx can be used with both but ktx cannot

[rkeazor]

‘kotlin-android-extensions’

[kartikpatodi]

and thats also a different thing

[rkeazor]

what

[rkeazor]

lol

[kartikpatodi]

https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/androidx-rn

[rkeazor]

my bad i see , your saying that when your trying to import the constraint layout , it doesn’t show

[rkeazor]

as within the new package structure

[kartikpatodi]

yes and btw android kotlin extention is kotlinx and not androidx

[rkeazor]

are you able to type the import in manurally

[kartikpatodi]

yes but is says don't change the generated classes

[rkeazor]

Did you do Refactor -> Refactor android x , in Android studio?

[kartikpatodi]

Yes

[rkeazor]

do you see, the constraint layout dependency when you do that?

[rkeazor]

it should give you the option to migrate.. If your still having a issue after that . than do file a bug report. its still fairly new

[kartikpatodi]

It chanded the dependencies throughout the project but not in the generated classes

[rkeazor]

just do a clean -> rebuild

[kartikpatodi]

Did that

[rkeazor]

generated classes from Databinding?

[rkeazor]

yea just file a report. of what your going thru

[kartikpatodi]

Right

[rkeazor]

also , make sure the support dependency isn’t in your build.gradle

[gildor]

@kartikpatodi do you have own fork, refactored to androidx that I could try and reproduce your problem?

[kartikpatodi]

wait

[kartikpatodi]

@gildor
https://github.com/kartikpatodi/AndroidArchitectureComponentsDemo
Not implemented it completely only upto this commit
https://github.com/googlecodelabs/android-build-an-app-architecture-components/tree/1d6ff9dc80f191147c1954a646283886b5401359

[gildor]

@kartikpatodi No issue with androidx and constraint layouts.
Just fix package name in layout xml

[kartikpatodi]

Can you pr the changes if you have a working version

[gildor]

This is PR with fix

[gildor]

https://github.com/kartikpatodi/AndroidArchitectureComponentsDemo/pull/1

[kartikpatodi]

Thanks for your time

[gildor]

See, DataBinding generate code from your layout file, so just uses packages from layout

[gildor]

also, androidx.constraintlayout 1.1.1 changed package name from androidx.constraintlayout.widget to androidx.constraintlayout

[kartikpatodi]

Oh I see thanks
