Cannot find symbol class Bind of butterknife

Question

Somehow I have a mistake in my gradle build. Somehow I cannot find the class Bind of butterknife.

It is probably due to my gradle, but I do not know.

I get this error:

Error:(40, 6) error: cannot find symbol class Bind

My grade file looks like this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion '25.0.0'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "de.andreasschrade.androidtemplate"

        targetSdkVersion 23

        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {

Change minSdkVersion to 15 instead of 14. Or you can use tools:overrideLibrary="com.facebook" – Hymettus

Answer 1

Use @BindView (butterknife:8.6.0) instead of @Bind (butterknife:7.0.1)

Answer 2

The Latest version 8.8.1 should use @BindView instead of @Bind

Answer 3

You need to change minimum sdk version in your gradle file to 15 instead of 14.

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "de.mynameis.androidtemplate"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}

Hi sorry I forgot to update my question, do you have time to have a look at it again – Grocery

Can you paste the code where you are using bind class? – Entomophagous

import butterknife.BindView; – Grocery

Answer 4

First, update your version of Jakexharton:Butterknife on latest

compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.6.0'

to

implementation 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:10.2.0'
annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:10.2.0'

And change

@Bind 

to

@BindView
