Android annotations and new Android bindings

Question

When I activate the apt line androidannotations apt in my gradle assembly file, the data binding classes are no longer recognized. When I just comment out the line "apt ..", then everything compiles again.

Could it be that android annotations prevent databinding? Or is there a wrong execution order?

There are two problems in the project:

First: applicationId is de.moserp.inventory, but the package name manifest is org.moserp.inventory. You must change it to the same, or if it is intentional, you must directly tell AA the manifest package name :

 apt { arguments { androidManifestFile variant.outputs[0]?.processResources?.manifestFile logLevel 'TRACE' resourcePackageName 'org.moserp.inventory' } } 

Second: you declare the initial activity in the manifest instead of the generated one. Change it to MainActivity_ .
