android中的数据绑定对象可以为null吗

我正在我的项目中使用数据绑定。在一个片段中,我使用如下数据绑定

public class ExampleFragment extends Fragment  {

     private FragmentExampleBinding mFragmentExampleBinding;

     @Override
     public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        //initializing data binding object
        mFragmentExampleBinding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(inflater, R.layout.fragment_example, container, false);
        // is there any posibility that mFragmentExampleBinding can be null
        View view = mFragmentExampleBinding.getRoot();
        return view;
      }
}
