DataBinding not working in RecyclerViewAdapter(Android, Kotlin)?

Question

Android

Here is the code for the OnBindViewHolder function:

override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
    val country = countries[position]
    var countryInfoCardBinding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView<CountryInfoCardBinding>(context as Activity, R.layout.country_info_card)
    countryInfoCardBinding.country = country
}

And here is the XML file:
