Unable to use with DataBindings and AndroidX when not using 3.0.0-rc1

Hi I tried it with a simple DataBinding as a Model but building gives me:

e: error: Epoxy Processor Exception: Caused by TypeCastException: null cannot be cast to non-null type javax.lang.model.element.TypeElement Stacktrace: com.airbnb.epoxy.DataBindingModelInfo.<init>(DataBindingModelInfo.kt:27) com.airbnb.epoxy.DataBindingModelInfo.<init>(DataBindingModelInfo.kt:16) com.airbnb.epoxy.DataBindingProcessor.process(DataBindingProcessor.kt:33) com.airbnb.epoxy.EpoxyProcessor.processRound(EpoxyProcessor.java:189) com.airbnb.epoxy.EpoxyProcessor.process(EpoxyProcessor.java:165)

I do use Kotlin and AndroidX.

My Model XML looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <data>
        <variable

        <variable
            name="lastMessage"
            type="String" />
    </data>
    <RelativeLayout

    </RelativeLayout>
</layout>

My package-info.java looks like this:

@EpoxyDataBindingLayouts({R.layout.room_element})
package blog.nordgedanken.simplematrix.roomView.recyclerView;

import com.airbnb.epoxy.EpoxyDataBindingLayouts;
import blog.nordgedanken.simplematrix.R;

I do use 3.0.0-rc1 with kapt as I use Kotlin

@markusressel in the end it was a combination of having clashing id namings and variables together with inconsistent epoxy versions. One of them was using an older version 😕

3.0.0 is finally out with androidx and all latest epoxy updates
