Data Binding layout strange build error

In my project I have Android Data Binding Library v.2.3.3

After adding new aar library dependency I am getting error while compiling project with message

/Users/.../app/build/intermediates/data-binding-layout- 
out/.../debug/layout/..-activity.xml:90: error: Error: No resource found 
that matches the given name (at 'layout_above' with value 
'@id/buttonLayout').

I've checked the xml in build/intermediates and it seems quite OK:

    ...
<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
    android:layout_above="@id/buttonLayout">

    ...

</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/_button_size"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:id="@+id/buttonLayout">

    ...

</RelativeLayout>   
...

What may cause the problem? Is it related to databinding?
I've tried to use the aar library other project and it was working

In your mainLayout you are referencing an ID @id/buttonLayout that has not been added to the resources yet as it is declared in the second RelativeLayout further down. To solve this you need to add it first with @+id like this:

...
<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
    android:layout_above="@+id/buttonLayout">

    ...

</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/_button_size"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:id="@id/buttonLayout">

    ...

</RelativeLayout>   
...
