Generated file for FragmentDirections doesn't have the same package name

I have changed my android app's package name, after clean build and then build I got an error saying : Unresolved reference: data in a generated file (please see the picture below).

I have checked that this file doesn't have the same package name, there is a missing "com" at the beginning (line 1). Also at line 8, there also a missing "com" at the beginning.
I have been struggling with this issue without any luck to find a solution.

Thank you so much Screenshot of the issue

In my case, it was the old version of the navigation library which does not read from the namespace specified in the build.gradle file in app module.

I had to keep the namespace in the manifest file until I upgrade the navigation library.

AndroidManifest.xml looks like this now

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.packagename">

I found a solution to this problem.

As I mentioned, a generated file was preventing me from building the project after package name refactor even after cleaning and then rebuilding it. I realised that this file has something to do with the navigation graph. So, I opened that file and searched for any leftovers from the previous package name and found it! The refactoring process didn't refactor it all. I changed that and rebuilt the project and all went well.
