Thread: A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.internal

The building of my android app failed with a new strange set of errors:

The app/app/build/generated/data_binding_base_class_source_out/debug/out/com/comTest/theapp/databinding/TabPinBinding.java:48: error: illegal '.' public final com.comTest.theapp..utilsviews.MyTextView pin8;

The class MyTextView is defined in the app/utils/views/MyTextView.kt it looks like the generator of java code makes a mistake.

As this code is right in generated java, I don't know how to correct the error or where to begin to fix the problem.

The application compiled fine then I did the following from the reference from this technical blog:

* created a scratch.kt file where I needed to import some file defined in the utils folder
* updated some stuff (Gradle plugin, targetSDK value, remove redundant dependencies) following the suggestion of android-studio. It was the usual stuff when updating android-studio internals.

The errors appear in the file TabPinBinding.java which start with: "// Generated by view binder compiler. Do not edit!"

This final class, or method, or variable which you have in the android application cannot be extended or modified. Illegal. What you're doing is not possible to modify.
