I cannot usage databinding for activity. (I used databinding for fragment/recyclerview).

I researched all documents and all issues but it didn't solve my problem.

My problem is "unresolved reference" for variable name in xml file. Where is the problem in my project.

DetailActivity.kt

class DetailActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        val activityMainBinding: ActivityMainBinding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_detail)
        val model: Result = intent.getSerializableExtra("movieModel") as Result
        activityMainBinding.setResult = model
    }
}

activity_detail.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The problem is that you reference a binding class of the MainActivity which is (ActivityMainBinding) to the DetailActivity.

Therefore, it can't find a setResult() method in the ActivityMainBinding, because there is no result variable in activity_main.xml layout.

Notice that each activity has a unique generated class that bounds to its own layout.

To fix this you need to replace ActivityMainBinding with ActivityDetailBinding

class DetailActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        val activityDetailBinding: ActivityDetailBinding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_detail)
        val model: Result = intent.getSerializableExtra("movieModel") as Result
        activityDetailBinding.setResult = model
    }
}
