please+define+android_sdk_roots,Android Databinding: “Method references using '

When using databinding in my app, I get the following warning when compiling:

Warning:Method references using '.' is deprecated. Instead of 'handler.onItemClick', use 'handler::onItemClick'

Please see my XML below.

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:onClick="@{!active ? handler.onItemClick : null}"

android:background="@color/backgroundWhite"/>

Please note the : from the conditional statement

Pretty straightforward message, until I change the '.' to '::'.

android:onClick="@{!active ? handler::onItemClick : null}"

Since the onItemClick is inside a conditional statement, it seems to interpret the first of the two ::'s as the 'else' statement of the condition. On the second ':', I get the error:

expected, got ':'

EDIT: As @CommonsWare suggested in the comments, inverting the statement to

"@{active ? null : handler::onItemClick}"

doesn't help either, a similar error is shown (see comments)

EDIT2: Apparently, when stripping the conditional statement away, being left with "@{handler::onItemClick}", it still gives an error: '!=', '%', '*', '+', ',', '-', '.', '/', ', '>=', '>>', '>>>' or '[' expected, got ':' Using the dot-notation, still gives a warning when compiling

Is there any way to escape these ::'s, so it is interpreted correctly?
