I added a ComposeView in my XML layout file. I use view binding to inflate this file in my Activity. When I try to call binding.myComposeView.setContent { ... } then I get the following compilation error: Unresolved reference: setContent. When I take a look at the generated binding file, the type of myComposeView is View and not ComposeView. When I use findViewById<ComposeView>(R.id.myComposeView).setContent { ... } then everything works fine. Why is the binding not generated correctly? What can I do to use view binding with a ComposeView?
It turns out that I had two versions of the same layout: portrait and horizontal. I converted the portrait one to Compose by replacing a LinearLayout with a ComposeView. However, in the horizontal layout myComposeView was still a LinearLayout. That's why the view binding class that got created had a field myComposeView of type View instead of ComposeView. The view with the same id had different types in two layout versions.
