Injecting TextView error

./MovieActivity.java:15: error: annotation type not applicable to this kind of declaration @InjectView(R.id.movieTitle) TextView mTitleLabel;

Not entirely sure why I'm getting this error.

MovieActivity.java 
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class MovieActivity extends Activity {

// @InjectView here  ... 

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_movie);

        ButterKnife.inject(this);

        @InjectView(R.id.movieTitle) TextView mTitleLabel; // not here!
        // The rest of the code is omitted for brevity :)
    }
}

Hi Shagun,

You want to put the @InjectView outside of onCreate - I've added a comment in your code.

Steve.
