Android Build a Weather App (2015) Hooking Up the Model to the View Using Butter Knife for Views

Unable to use butterknife annotations in code

I added the line in my gradle(module : app) file:

compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:6.1.0'

and synced gradle.

However, I am unable to view/use the '@FindView' annotation instead of the '@Inject' in 6.0.0 in MainActivity.

What do I need to do to make it work?

The Butter Knife page clearly states to use "@InjectView". The switch to "@FindView" is for a pending new release (7.0.0 I believe), or if you build Butter Knife from the latest source. That's why "@FindView" is documented on the GitHub repository but not in the release web page.

My issue was with the auto-import of Butter Knife classes. I had to do that manually for even '@InjectView' to show up in the suggestions, not sure why it was not importing automatically.
