App is trying to open a layout of the aar fragment as if it is main app's fragment

Question

I have an aar library (com.pg.clusive) with activities and fragments in it (it is like a mini app). When I implement it in the main app(com.pg.mainapp), I can start an activity from the aar without any problem. It shows the activity and its layout.

However, when I try to show a fragment in this activity, it looks for the layout of the fragment in the path of the main module, not in the aar. And unable to find it as below.

I inflate the layout of the fragment in aar like this:

override fun onCreateView(
    inflater: LayoutInflater,
    container: ViewGroup?,
    savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View? {
    binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(inflater, layoutResourceId, container, false)
    return binding.root
}

I controlled the build/intermediates/merged_res directory of the project. Aar resources are not included there. But i can access them on main app when i writes its names. It is confusing.
