exoplayer2.x - Android exoplayer updating custom ui layout with PlayerView in separate layout?

Question

This is related to another question found here.

Databinding the custom UI layout is exactly what I want to do, but apparently there's still no solution. The option either seems to be databind the layout with PlayerView, or bind the custom UI layout, which then needs some method to set playerView = findViewById(R.id.player_view).

I think I already figured out my workaround, but my question is, is it actually possible to get a reference to a view in another layout without actually inflating it? (I mean that in general, with or without databinding)

something like:

override fun onCreate(){
     customBinding = CustomPlayBinding.inflate(layoutInflater, container, false)
     val playerView = requireActivity().findViewById<PlayerView>(R.id.player_view)
     // I know this is all kinds of wrong since the PlayerView layout needs to be inflated
     // and then exoPlayer takes care of inflating the custom UI layout
}

Or a way to create a binding to a layout without explicitly inflating it? Since the custom UI layout is already being inflated by the exoPlayer, shouldn't it be possible to create a binding reference to it somehow?
