Android Data Binding @BindingConversion failure for int to string

Beware, In latest DataBinding (2019), It does NOT require importing Integer nor String or you will get this error:

****/ data binding error ****msg:Missing import expression although it is registered file

official doc says : java.lang.* is imported automatically.

Just go either

android:text="@{Integer.toString(myViewModel.number)}" or

android:text="@{String.valueOf(myViewModel.number)}"

directly.

android:text with an int assumes that the int is a string resource ID. Use android:text="@{Integer.toString(myViewModel.number)}".

~~You will also need to import the Integer class:~~ (no longer needed)
