Yes, it`s possible doing a scape for your generic type:

<data>
    <variable
        name="activity"
        type="com.cloud9.erp.activities.SearchableActivity&lt;R>" />
</data>

Keep in mind that the Android Studio will still show a "Cannot resolve symbol" error, but your layout file will compile.

Also, this is not the best implementation to do that, you should use Handlers for this kind of operations:

public class MyHandlers {
    public void onClickFriend(View view) { ... }
}

And then, use it in your XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <data>
       <variable name="handlers" type="com.example.Handlers"/>
       <variable name="user" type="com.example.User"/>
   </data>
   <LinearLayout
       android:orientation="vertical"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent">
       <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
           android:text="@{user.firstName}"
           android:onClick="@{handlers::onClickFriend}"/>
   </LinearLayout>
</layout>
