App crashing when using android data-binding on android 8
Have similar crashes with exactly the same stacktrace on 8.
Have you tried using:
binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(getLayoutInflater(), R.layout.activity, null, false);setContentView(binding.getRoot());Difference between code above and calling
DataBindingUtil.setContentView(...);is that inflate() returns a View directly which is later passed to DataBindingUtils::bindToAddedViews.In case of DataBindingUtil.setContentView the following logic is being used
activity.setContentView(layoutId);View decorView = activity.getWindow().getDecorView();ViewGroup contentView = (ViewGroup) decorView.findViewById(android.R.id.content);and it seems that
ViewGroup contentView = (ViewGroup) decorView.findViewById(android.R.id.content);is just NULL...
