Difference between bind and injectView in butterknife

Question

I am using butterknife library. I don't know much about how to use it. I found injectView and bind doing the same thing but I am not really sure. Can anyone explain the difference between these two.

Can anyone explain the difference between these two ?

@InjectView was changed to @Bind .

Annotate fields with @Bind and a view ID for Butter Knife to find and automatically cast the corresponding view in your layout.

class YourActivity extends Activity {
  @Bind(R.id.TvTitle) TextView title;

Please check below links. Hope this helps .

One more thing. I am using android studio. Here its only showing @InjectView but not Bind. – Buyer

@Bind(R.id.TvTitle) and ButterKnife.bind(this); #28139359 – Gillian

Oops! I was using version 5.x.x. – Buyer

Answer 2

If I'm not mistaken, they have the same function. There was a change in naming convention starting version 7 of butterknife, injectView was changed to bind.

Check the changelog, also check this issue.

As of Version 8.0.0 @Bind becomes @BindView and @BindViews
