XML layout doesn't appear in R.layout

I am using the androidX CardView. In order to make a recyclerview adapter for the cards I need to inflate the custom card layout I have made. Unfortunately the xml of the custom card view doesn't appear in R.layout.(xml_name),while i find normally all the other layouts.

This the code inside the adapter class where I need to inflate:

public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {

    View view;
    LayoutInflater mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
    view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.cardview_item_answer); // not finding this layout

    return null;
}

This is the card layout xml (cardview_item_answer.xml) :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="160dp"
android:layout_height="160dp"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
app:cardCornerRadius="4dp"
>

<androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
        android:id="@+id/image_card"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop"
        android:background="#2d2d2d2d">
    </androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView>

    <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
        android:id="@+id/text_card"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:text="test"
        android:textSize="13sp"
        android:textColor="@color/black"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        ></androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView>

</androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat>

Do you suggest any ideas ?

Thank you very much !

For some reasons neither of the solutions above worked for me.

I just had to use the full path to the layout before being able to use it. In my case the item of a spinner

So I did this:

import com.myProject.R.layout.spinner_item

It is never a suggested autocompletion, at least in my case, in model views. It is in the fragments. Can't make sense of that, but it works in view models too.

If the XML contains any errors, your build will likely fail - this will cause R.layout to yield unexpected results. I am not seeing a closing tag for the CardView in cardview_item_answer.xml

Try adding a closing tag </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView> at the end of cardview_item_answer.xml

Solved ! If you ever have this problem -> clean project and invalidate Caches/Restart.
