Regarding findViewById

#1

In new version of android studio, without using findViewById we cannot use any widget but the problem is that I cannot use findViewById method inside fragment class

#2

@kodivine0 you can manually add kotlin synthetic if you don’t want to use findViewByid by adding
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
at the top of build.gradle (app)

incase you don’t want to use synthetic as it is deprecated. I suggest using ViewBinding or Databinding.
this requires adding a bit of code in every fragment or activity.

To use ViewBinding you can have a look at its setup instructions if you face any issues do let me know

#3

apart from adding buildFeatures, what else do I need to add to achieve so?

#4

This might help
For Activities

For Fragments

#5

the line containing ResultsProfileBinding is causing an error!

#6

Can you mention the name of the xml file for the activity or fragment

#7

activity_main.xml is the name of xml file

#8

for activity_main.xml the generated binding class is MainActivityBinding,

ResultsProfileBinding was for the particular xml mentioned in the documentation i.e, (result_profile.xml)

generated binding class is different for each xml
