1,535 PointsI can't get ButterKnife to work.
I am doing everything it says on github and it still doesn't work. I also saw some answers here, but the method of adding it is changed again. The answers I saw are for 8.1.0 and this version is 8.2.8.

apt 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.2.1'
you also need
compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.2.1'

29,502 Pointsi can't get this to work even after trying to follow the instructions on the github. What should the build.gradle file contain? It is disappointing that the appropriate information is not included in the teacher's notes to make this module work correctly.

23,733 PointsCan you post your build.gradle files, project and module?

3,352 PointsI assume you probably figured it out by now, but I had the same problem, and here's what I did in case someone needs it. I fixed it by putting:
apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'
on the top of the build.gradle file. And then you need:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'
in your project build.gradle file, and
dependencies {
compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.2.1'
apt 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.2.1'
in your module build.gradle file.

23,733 PointsBoth files look correct to me. Can you post any error messages and also the code where you're using butter knife?

1,535 PointsYeah, Kourosh Raeen replied with the solution.
