Cannot find the setter for attribute 'algolia:attribute' with parameter type java.lang.String on android.widget.TextView

Hello!

After updating to Android Studio 3.0 and to Android Gradle Plugin 3.0, I’ve encountered the following compile time error: Error:(48, 38) Cannot find the setter for attribute 'algolia:attribute' with parameter type java.lang.String on android.widget.TextView.

Here is my layout where I’m using this attribute:

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/book_name"
                android:layout_width="150dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed"
                android:padding="6dp"
                android:textAlignment="center"
                android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Caption"
                android:textSize="20sp"
                android:typeface="normal"
                android:scrollHorizontally="false"
                android:maxLines="5"
                algolia:attribute='@{"name"}'
                android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
                app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/cover"
                android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
                android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
                app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
                android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
                android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
                android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
                app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0"
                app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.0" />

Error is raised on 0.8.0 version of instantsearch, as well as on 1.1.2.

Looks like it’s a problem in BindingHelper class where you set @BindingAdapter("attribute"). As in docs, now you need to set "bind:attribute" instead of just "attribute", i.e. you need to set XML namespace here, and "bind" namespace is for custom namespaces.
