I am posting this answer as it works for me may it help others,Updating project level build gradle classpath from older to latest build gradle latest version i.e from 2.3.3 to 3.0.0 works for me and DataBindingBuilder error gets resolved

project level build.gradle:

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
 //   classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3' compiling code with older gradle version in updated/latest gradle version shows DataBindingBuilder error
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
