android - kotlin, custom view, binding, inflating - JNI ERROR (app bug): local reference table overflow (max=512)

Question

I am using kotlin. I am trying create Custom View inside Custom View. I hope, I did it.

Now I would like to change text in my views. I tried use binding. But when is called: SampleMyViewBBinding.inflate(inflater) application shows me error:

JNI ERROR (app bug): local reference table overflow (max=512)

I think application trying call inflating again, again, again, .... Can you help me, what is wrong? How to use binding in Custom View? Thank you.

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    }
}

class MyViewA : ConstraintLayout {

    constructor(context: Context) : super(context) { init(null, 0) }

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) : super(context, attrs) { init(attrs, 0) }

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet, defStyle: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyle) {  init(attrs, defStyle) }

    private fun init(attrs: AttributeSet?, defStyle: Int) {

    }
}

class MyViewB : ConstraintLayout {

    constructor(context: Context) : super(context) { init(null, 0) }

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) : super(context, attrs) { init(attrs, 0) }

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet, defStyle: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyle) { init(attrs, defStyle) }

    private fun init(attrs: AttributeSet?, defStyle: Int) {
        Log.i("AW", "init test...1")
        var inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context)
        Log.i("AW", "init test...2")
        var binding = SampleMyViewBBinding.inflate(inflater)
        Log.i("AW", "init test...3")
    }
}

I think you messed with the constructors and the init block a bit. You can use JvmOverloads to "automatically" generate the constructors for you. Also, the init block as written below is invoked regardless the constructor being used:

class MyViewA @JvmOverloads constructor(
    context: Context, 
    attrs: AttributeSet? = null, 
    defStyle: Int = 0
) : ConstraintLayout(context, attrs, defStyle) {

    init {
        // 
    }
}

class MyViewB @JvmOverloads constructor(
    context: Context, 
    attrs: AttributeSet? = null, 
    defStyle: Int = 0
) : ConstraintLayout(context, attrs, defStyle) {

    init {
        Log.i("AW", "init test...1")
        var inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context)
        Log.i("AW", "init test...2")
        var binding = SampleMyViewBBinding.inflate(inflater)
        Log.i("AW", "init test...3")
    }
}
