Description:

When K2 Mode is enabled in Android Studio, the generated ViewBinding class cannot be imported automatically. The import statement has to be manually written, and the autocomplete feature does not function as expected. This results in an “Unresolved reference ActivityNameBinding” error.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new project with Views in Android Studio.
Enable ViewBinding in the build.gradle.kts file.
Create a simple XML layout.
Attempt to generate a Binding class for the layout in an Activity.

Expected Result: The ViewBinding class should be automatically imported and the autocomplete feature should work correctly.

Actual Result:

The ViewBinding class is not automatically imported, the autocomplete feature does not work, and an “Unresolved reference ActivityNameBinding” error is displayed.

Please note that this issue occurs only when K2 Mode is enabled. The functionality works as expected in default mode. This issue significantly slows down the development process as developers have to manually write import statements for each ViewBinding class. I hope this issue will be addressed promptly. Thank you.
