Cannot find symbol class InjectView

Like the title says, that annotation doesn't seem to want to compile. I was using the latest version of Butterknife at the time of this writing (version 8), and also tried falling back to version 6 as in the video, but that didn't work either.

Am I missing an import? I've tried clearing the build cache and rebuilding with Gradle with no success. What else can I do?

What about this ButterKnife.inject(this);

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        ButterKnife.inject(this);

What J A is saying is that if you (or anyone) is using the latest version of ButterKnife at the time of this comment, the inject static method is know 'bind'. @InjectView is now @BindView. The function of the code remains pretty much the same.

It should be

ButterKnife.bind(this);

instead of 

ButterKnife.inject(this);
