</FrameLayout>

Solution

  • The layout xml should be wrapped by layout tag.

    Your activity_fullscreen.xml should be like this:

    <layout
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
    
        <FrameLayout xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
                     android:layout_width="match_parent"
                     android:layout_height="match_parent"
                     android:background="@android:color/white"
                     tools:context="com.roha.lungo.FullscreenActivity">
        ...
        </FrameLayout>
    
    </layout>
    

    Then rebuild your project from AndroidStudio's menu:

    Build -> RebuildProject.

    There will be errors:

    Error:(34, 40) Identifiers must have user defined types from the XML file. FabHandler is missing it

    You can solve this problem by add data tag. Please refer this document. https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/data-binding/index.html
