Beginner Android Studio setup

[Floris91]

I was watching this on youtube and noticed that everything is completed automatically in his Android Studio.

For example at 3:08 he gets a drop down menu in MainActivity.kt which consists of the id's created in activity_main.xml. I do get a dropdown but it doesn't consist of the id's that I created in activity_main.xml. Am I missing some imports or are some settings wrong?

Sorry for bothering, didn't take me long to find the solution. I was missing some lines in the build.gradle ( :app). The missing lines were: " id 'kotlin-android' " and "id 'kotlin-android-extensions' ", see screenshot. Not sure why it was missing, but this solved it for me.

Thanks for popping back with a solution. Others just starting out will find this useful.

Small issue is that 'kotlin-android-extensions' is deprecated. View Binding is recommended: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/view-binding. It wasn't that straight forward for me to get it work, but I managed, see attached screenshots.
