Android data binding - 'No resource identifier found for attribute'

My layout file:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
            xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            tools:context=".MainActivity">

<TextView
      android:text="@string/hello_world"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      app:fontName="Roboto-Regular.ttf"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</RelativeLayout>

My binding adapter method:

public class FontBinding {

  @BindingAdapter("bind:fontName")
  public static void setFontName(TextView view, @NonNull String fontName) {
    String fontPath = "/fonts/" + fontName;

    Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(view.getContext().getAssets(), fontPath);

    view.setTypeface(typeface);
  }
}

The error I'm getting:

Error:(8) No resource identifier found for attribute 'fontName' in package 'com.example.databindingproject'

Followed the tutorial from https://developer.android.com/tools/data-binding/guide.html . Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?

I know it is too late I did all the answers but it didn't work for me, and when I added this code:

dataBinding {
    enabled = true
}

in build.gradle in the app-level folder, inside the android tag like below:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 30
    buildToolsVersion "30.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.development.allanproject"
        minSdkVersion 22
        targetSdkVersion 30
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    dataBinding {
        enabled = true
    }
}

My issue was fixed.

As shown hereTo configure your app to use data binding, add the dataBinding element to your build.gradle file in the app module, as shown in the following example:

android {
    ...
    dataBinding {
        enabled = true
    }
}

If you want to pass dp/px value to @BindingAdapter - remember to wrap it with a binding syntax i.e. "@{ }"

You need to use dimens.xml to pass the value:

app:compoundDrawableSize="@{@dimen/icon_size}"

Accompanying binding adapter enabling you to set copound drawable size for a TextView would look like the following:

/**
 * Binding adapter to set the size of TextView's compound drawable
 *
 * Usage:
 * <TextView   [...]
 *       android:drawableLeft="@{@drawable/ic_myicon}"
 *       app:compoundDrawableSize="@{@dimen/icon_size}"
 *  />
 */
@BindingAdapter("bind:compoundDrawableSize", "android:drawableLeft", "android:drawableStart",
        "android:drawableRight", "android:drawableEnd", requireAll = false)
fun TextView.setCompoundDrawableSize(px: Float, @IntegerRes drawableLeft: Drawable?, @IntegerRes drawableStart: Drawable?,
                                     @IntegerRes drawableRight: Drawable?, @IntegerRes drawableEnd: Drawable?) {
    val compoundDrawableLeft = drawableLeft ?: drawableStart
    val compoundDrawableRight = drawableRight ?: drawableEnd
    compoundDrawableLeft?.setBounds(0, 0, px.toInt(), px.toInt())
    compoundDrawableRight?.setBounds(0, 0, px.toInt(), px.toInt())
    this.setCompoundDrawables(compoundDrawableLeft, null, compoundDrawableRight, null)
}

This same error can also happen if you forget the closing curly brace:

android:text="@{viewModel.foo"

You must use the data binding syntax. It should be:

<TextView
      android:text="@string/hello_world"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      app:fontName='@{"Roboto-Regular.ttf"}'
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
