My problem is, I find strange that R.id.item\_all\_material\_text… are “unresolved reference”. Tried to remove the explicit type but it returns to view type

Snippet code:

val view = LayoutInflater.from(activity).inflate(R.layout.item\_all\_material\_text, null)  
val textInputLayout = view.findViewById\<TextInputLayout\>(R.id.item\_all\_material\_text\_til)  
val textInputEditText = view.findViewById\<TextInputEditText\>(R.id.item\_all\_material\_text\_tie)
