ButterKnife.bind(this, ???)

When trying to bind, Android studio does not like (this) to be by itself.

Ive seen in the forums someone say to write ButterKnife.bind(this,view) but when I go to type view, it gives me options like iconImageView.

I even tried to use the depreciated Butterknife 6.1.0 using Butterknife.inject(this) and it says it cannot resolve

    @BindView(R.id.timeLabel) TextView mTimeLabel;
    @BindView(R.id.temperatureLabel) TextView mTemperatureLabel;
    @BindView(R.id.humidityValue) TextView mHumidityValue;
    @BindView(R.id.precipValue) TextView mPrecipValue;
    @BindView(R.id.summaryTextView) TextView mSummaryLabel;
    @BindView(R.id.iconImageview) ImageView mIconImageView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        // Import view variables
        ButterKnife.bind(this,view);

Looks like there was something wrong with Android Studio. What I did was I went to File -- invalidate Caches and restart. When Android Studio restarted everything worked fine.

No, inside an Activity ButterKnife.bind(this) is correct. bind(this, view) is for when you aren't in an Activity. Can you more specific what "doesn't like" mean?

It is giving me an error when I hover over it saying cannot find method 'bind(my activity name)'
