Kotlin Android Extensions: How to get a reference to a view in a layout that gets included into another layout?

I have a layout that includes another layout:

activity_main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:orientation="vertical"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TextView"/>

    <include layout="@layout/included_layout" />

</LinearLayout>

included_layout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:orientation="vertical"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/includedTextView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Included TextView"/>

</LinearLayout>

How can I get a reference to the TextView in the included layout? Is it not supported (yet)?

MainActivity:

import android.app.Activity
import android.os.Bundle
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.activity_main.*

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(){

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        textView.text = "text" // works!
        textViewInclude.text = "textInclude" // does not work: "Unresolved reference: textViewInclude "
    }
}

In the Activity where you want acess of other layout element implement click Listner

class LoginActivity : AppCompatActivity(), View.OnClickListener {
 
 override fun onClick(view: View?) {
    when (view?.id) {
        R.id.dialog_cancel-> { dialog.cancel() }
    }
  }
}

in the another layout which you are importing in your Activity, place onClick() in the element and refrence it to the Activity where you imported onClick listner android:onClick="onClick"

enter image description here

It will work definetly and the another xml element will listen the click

You should import the included layout.

import android.app.Activity
import android.os.Bundle
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.*
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.included_layout.* // Here

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        // From activity_main.textView
        textView.text = "text" 

        // From included_layout.textViewInclude
        textViewInclude.text = "textInclude"
    }
}
