Data binding is too much headache! please help!

Question

I got many errors after trying to implement data binding. First my gradle wouldn't synch. Eventually after lots of research I found one solution which was to add the below line into the repositories section in the project gradle: google()

Later I started to get the error below: "Can't resolve Android databinding class." And android studio wouldn't give the option to import the right class. Again after a lot of hassle I managed to over come that issue.

However, now I'm getting the below errors, can anyone give me a clue.

error: cannot access ActivityCompatApi23 class file for android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompatApi23 not found error: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype
error: cannot find symbol variable super
error: not an enclosing class: MainActivity error: cannot find symbol method findViewById(int)
error: cannot find symbol method getSystemService(String)
error: cannot find symbol method getFragmentManager()

The below is my code for the onCreate method:

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        //setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        final ActivityMainBinding binding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(MainActivity.this,
                R.layout.activity_main);

        //setting up views to be edited by the data we download
       // iconImageView = findViewById(R.dra)




        // setting up the dark sky link
        darkSkyLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.darkSkyLabel);

        darkSkyLabel.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());


        String temp = "https://api.darksky.net/forecast/339f2e72fcfe43726851f16fa755b463/37.8267,-122.4233";

        String apiKey = "339f2e72fcfe43726851f16fa755b463";

        double latitude = 37.8267;
        double longitude = -122.4233;

        String forecastURL = "https://api.darksky.net/forecast/"
                + apiKey
                + "/"
                + latitude + ","
                + longitude;

        if (isNetworkAvailable()) {


            OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

            Request request = new Request.Builder().url(forecastURL).build();

            Call call = client.newCall(request);
            call.enqueue(new Callback() {
                @Override
                public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {

                }

                @Override
                public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) throws IOException {
                    try {
                        String jsonData = response.body().string();
                        //Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "This is the onResponse method", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        Log.v(TAG, "This is the onResponse method");
                        Log.v(TAG, jsonData);

                        //Response response = call.execute(); for the the synchronous method

                        if (response.isSuccessful()) {
                            //Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "onResponse is successful", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                            Log.i(TAG, "This is before the method getCurrentDetails");
                            currentweather = getCurrentDetails(jsonData);

                            CurrentWeather displayWeather = new CurrentWeather(
                                    currentweather.getLocationLabel(),
                                    currentweather.getIcon(),
                                    currentweather.getTime(),
                                    currentweather.getTemperature(),
                                    currentweather.getHumidity(),
                                    currentweather.getPrecipChance(),
                                    currentweather.getSummary(),
                                    currentweather.getTimeZone());

                            binding.setWeather(displayWeather);


                            Log.i(TAG, "This is after the method getCurrentDetails");
                        } else {
                            Log.v(TAG, "Not successful");
                            alertUserAboutError();
                        }
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        //e.printStackTrace();
                        Log.v(TAG, "Connection error", e);
                        //Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "onResponse is not successful, connection error exception.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    } catch (JSONException e) {
                        Log.v(TAG, "JSON Exception" , e);
                    }
                }
            });

            TextView temperatureTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.temperatureValue);
            temperatureTextView.setText("test");


        }
