Why kotlin-android-extensions not enabled by default in this latest version of Android Studio? In fact, as long as i know, i have to manually add the plugin in gradle files. Any workaround so that i can add the plugin and enable it automatically everytime i create new project? Thanks before.
ICYMI, this is the code that needs to be added to enable kotlin-android
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'kotlin-android'
// add kotlin-android-extensions
id 'kotlin-android-extensions'
}
Android studio 4.1 do not support to import kotlin extension
In Kotlin 1.4.20-M2 JetBrains deprecated Kotlin Android Extensions compiler plugin.
kotlinx.android.synthetic is no longer a recommended practice. Removing in favour of explicit findViewById
Very sad news :(, i hate viewBinding
In this commit you can see the message:
Replaced kotlinx synthetic with findViewById
kotlinx.android.synthetic is no longer a recommended practice. Removing in favour of explicit findViewById.
It says that it is no longer recommended, but that doesn't mean that you should not use it. They are providing guidelines, but you can choose what to use and what not.
Other alternatives:
findViewByIdkotlin-android-extensions is deprecated, you must use view binding
