MainActivity:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
  @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main);
  }
}

CustomView:

public class CustomView extends LinearLayout {
  public CustomView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
  }

  @Override protected void onFinishInflate() {
    super.onFinishInflate();
    DataBindingUtil.bind(this);
  }
}

activity_main.xml:

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

  <RelativeLayout
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
      android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
      android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
      android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
      tools:context="com.novachevskyi.databindingtest.MainActivity">

    <include layout="@layout/custom_view"/>

  </RelativeLayout>

</layout>

custom_view.xml:

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

  <com.novachevskyi.databindingtest.CustomView
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView
        android:text="Hello World!"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

  </com.novachevskyi.databindingtest.CustomView>

</layout>

I also created a public repo with a sample project: https://github.com/novachevskyi/DataBinding-issue

I used data binding to com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.1, and now that I tried to upgrade the build tool version to com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0, I ran into such a problem with all of my views containing the includexml tag . Understand any information about the problem described above.
