Android data binding problem: "Cause: couldn't make a guess for"

i'm enabling data binding with adding

dataBinding { enabled = true }

and

kapt 'com.android.databinding:compiler:3.1.4'

in app level build.gradle file.

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

is added top of that. project is based on kotlin .

here is my model: 

    package ir.app.myapplication;



data class cisclass(val equRevId:String)

main Activity :

  val binding: ActivityMainBinding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main)

        val user = cisclass("123")
        binding.setVariable(BR.cis, user)
        binding.executePendingBindings()

here is my layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    >

    <data>

        <variable
            name="cis"
            type="ir.app.myapplication.cisclass" />
    </data>

    <androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView


        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_margin="5dp"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:scrollbars="vertical">


        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:orientation="vertical">



                    <TextView
                        android:text="@{cis.equRevId}"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:textStyle="bold"

                        />


        </LinearLayout>


    </androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>

</layout>

i will got this error:

as mentioned in https://stackoverflow.com/a/50115802/7407809 your model class must be start with uppercase letter.

Try to use instead binding.setVariable(BR.cis, user) this binding.setCis(user)
