Error:data Binding Does Not Support Jack Builds Yet

I am implementing DataBinding, it is working perfect, but it is not allowing me to use jackOptions. It throws error Data Binding does not support Jack builds yet while build. Here

Solution 1:

From yigit's comment it's clear that this functionality is still under development as he and George are project member of DataBinding.

we are working on it... yigit

I have also found that issue is already reported Issue 210615: Databinding with Jack compiler

UPDATE

2.3 will allow you to use data binding with jack but it still has limitations

Solution 2:

Google will add support for Java 8 language features directly into the current javac and dx set of tools, and deprecate the Jack toolchain.

Updates:

Java 8 language features are now supported by the Android build system

Yesterday, we released Android Studio 2.4 Preview 6. Java 8 language features are now supported by the Android build system in the javac/dx compilation path. Android Studio's Gradle plugin now desugars Java 8 class files to Java 7-compatible class files, so you can use lambdas, method references and other features of Java 8.

Solution 3:

As of gradle:2.2.0-alpha5, Jack builds are not yet compatible with DataBinding.

If you want to use data binding with Java 8, you can use retrolambda.
