Error while adding another table in room database

Question

I already was using room database in my application. Now I have migrated my project to androidX, so dependencies are changed.

Now when I am adding a table and trying to run the project, I am getting an error for multiple files:

error: cannot find symbol class BR

Here is my model class:

@Keep
@Entity
public class Notification {
    private String title;
    private String body;

    public Notification(String title, String body) {
        this.title = title;
        this.body = body;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title) {
        this.title = title;
    }

    public String getBody() {
        return body;
    }

    public void setBody(String body) {
        this.body = body;
    }
}

Here is my NotificationDao Class:

   public abstract class NotificationDao {
    @Insert(onConflict = REPLACE)
    public abstract void insert(Notification notification);

    @Query("DELETE FROM Notification")
    public abstract void deleteAll();
}

Here is the code written for migration:

static final Migration MIGRATION_1_2 = new Migration(1, 2) {
        @Override
        public void migrate(SupportSQLiteDatabase database) {
            database.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Notification (`title` TEXT, `body` TEXT)");
        }
    };

I have increased the version from 1 to 2.

I have added this in build as well.

    Room.databaseBuilder(
                application,
                MyDatabase.class,
                Configuration.DB_NAME
        ).addMigrations(MyDatabase.MIGRATION_1_2).build();

app.gradle is:

How can the error be fixed?

**cannot find symbol class BR** is related to *data binding*. Can you add your `build.gradle` file? — Md. Asaduzzaman, Feb 02 '20 at 15:58
When I am just removing the new table, the app is working fine. — Shubham Anand, Feb 02 '20 at 16:02

Not adding the primary key in model class was causing the problem. I think more specific error messages should be there from android studio's side regarding room database.
