MainActivity extends BaseBindingActivity with generic argument MainActivityBinding:

binding instantiated by inflateBinding extension in BaseBindingActivity: https://github.com/Goooler/DemoApp/blob/cc12a2f8afee4ddcb601dc46b64815c3a0d22af1/common/src/main/kotlin/io/goooler/demoapp/common/base/binding/BaseBindingActivity.kt#L8-L19

inflateBinding generate binding by reflection: https://github.com/Goooler/DemoApp/blob/cc12a2f8afee4ddcb601dc46b64815c3a0d22af1/common/src/main/kotlin/io/goooler/demoapp/common/util/CommonExtensions.kt#L297-L303

Since 856d4c30a86fc49c0bd836b23867b011d1ee9c6b.

[Goooler]

Caused by updating AGP 7.0.0-beta01 with android.enableR8.fullMode=true enabled. If I disable android.enableR8.fullMode=true, no crash happend.

[Goooler]

Have not been fixed in AGP 7.0.4 or 7.1.0-rc01 or AGP 7.2.0-alpha07.

[Goooler]

Decompile MainActivity with android.enableR8.fullMode=true enabled:

@Route(path = "/main/")
public final class MainActivity extends a {
  ...
}

Decompile MainActivity with android.enableR8.fullMode=true disabled:

@Route(path = "/main/")
public final class MainActivity extends a<MainActivityBinding> {
  ...
}

So r8 fullMode erase the generic type on MainActivity's super class, make javaClass.genericSuperclass as ParameterizedType throw ClassCastException, seems this behavior starts from AGP 7.0.0-beta01 and I already add -keepattributes Signature rule in proguard files.

[Goooler]

Here is the MainActivity decompiled from dex:

public final class MainActivity extends a {
  ...
}

No generic type on a class.

[Goooler]

Still showing after AGP 7.1, to solve this problem absolutely, should wait Hilt to release a new version that supports new R8 rules.

[Goooler]

After #13 & #31, solved.
