android data binding <include> layout OnClick listener doesn't work

Question

I have a data binding layout that contains a frame layout with <include> of other layout inside:

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/global_actions_frame_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="0.075"
    android:background="@color/colorToolBar">
    <include
        android:id="@+id/included"
        layout="@layout/global_actions">
    </include>
</FrameLayout>

the layout has image buttons inside in this format:

<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/settingsButton"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_settings_black_36dp"
    android:layout_gravity="end"
    android:background="@color/colorToolBar"
    android:layout_margin="4dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
    android:onClick="@{listener::onClickState}"
android:alpha="0.4"/>

and I added the tag around them and I added data with name of activity

 <data>
    <import type="android.view.View"/>
    <variable name="listener" type="MyActivity"/>
</data>

and in MyActivity I called a function to listen to On click from the image buttons:

public void onClickState(View view){
int id = view.getId();
}

but from some reason I don't get to this function when I click I tried also

 android:onClick="@{listener.onClickState}"

but nothing helped.

If you want to use DataBinding variables in an included layout, you need to pass them to the included layout, and also make your parent view use DataBinding:

<layout>
    <data>
        <variable type="your.packages.here.MainActivity" name="listener"/>
    </data>

    <FrameLayout>
        <include
            android:id="@+id/included"
            layout="@layout/global_actions"
            app:listener="@{listener}"/>
        </include>
    </FrameLayout>
</layout>

You need to set your listener in your MainActivity.class to the corresponding binding class:

activityMainBinding.setListener(this);

and in your included layout, you need to use the same name that you used in your parent layout (app:listener):

<layout>
    <data>
        <variable type="your.packages.here.MainActivity" name="listener"/>
    </data>

    <ImageButton 
     android:onClick="@{listener::onClickState}"/>
</layout>
