Havent idea why getting error message? May be because using "Inject" not "Bind"?

Hi Alexey,

You've put the member variable inside the onCreate() method. If you move it to the top of the class, above onCreate() your code will work just fine:

public class MovieActivity extends Activity {

    @InjectView(R.id.movieTitle) TextView mTitleLabel;
    // put it here ^^^ 
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_movie);
        ButterKnife.inject(this);
        // The rest of the code is omitted for brevity :)
    }
}

I hope that helps,

Steve.

To pass the 1st challenge, you need to omit this line in your code:

@InjectView(R.id.movieTitle) TextView mTitleLabel;
