Inherit binding variable bindings with layout enabled

Question

I am studying data binding and mvvm. I have a problem when I would like to BaseViewModel.ktinclude some UI related variables like flag isLoadingand loadingText. When a network request is executed, I set isLoadingto true, and some child of my base view model should set the text. For example, for LoginViewModel.kttext, there may be a "login". Can I pass these variables to the included base layout?

So, this login_activity.xmlmay include this layout:

    <data>
        <import type="android.view.View" />
        <variable
            name="viewModel"
            type="core.sdk.ui.login.LoginViewModel" />
    </data>

<!-- Various click listeners using the viewModel variable -->

    <include
        android:id="@+id/progress_include"
        layout="@layout/progress_bar"
        android:visibility="@{viewModel.isLoading ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE}"
        bind:viewModel="@{viewModel}"/>

Now I want mine to progress_bar.xmlbe nice and versatile and use a basic presentation model:

<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="core.sdk.ui.login.LoginActivity">

<data>

    <import type="android.view.View" />

    <variable
        name="viewModel"
        type="core.sdk.ui.base.BaseViewModel" />

</data>

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/circular_progress"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <android.support.v4.widget.ContentLoadingProgressBar
        style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ProgressBar"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/progress_text"
        style="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Subhead"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:fontFamily="sans-serif-thin"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:text="@{viewModel.loadingText}"
        android:textStyle="italic"
        tools:text="loading..." />
</LinearLayout>

The error I get is similar to

****/ data binding error ****msg:Cannot find the setter for attribute 'bind:viewModel' with parameter type core.sdk.ui.login.LoginViewModel

loading_view.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    >

    <data>

        <import type="android.view.View"/>

        <variable
            name="visibility"
            type="boolean"
            />

        <variable
            name="text"
            type="String"
            />
    </data>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#ff0"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:visibility="@{visibility?View.VISIBLE:View.GONE}"
        >
        <ProgressBar
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            />
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:text="@{text}"
            tools:text="AA"
            />
    </LinearLayout>
</layout>

<include
        layout="@layout/loading_view"
        app:visibility="@{viewModel.loadingCondition}"
        app:text='@{"AA"}'
        />

,

app:visibility="@{false}"
app:text="@{@string/loading_text}"
