ButterKnife 8.0.1 not working

Question

I am using butterknife 8.0.1, but a nullpointerexception is appearing.

This line is on my build.grade file: compile \'com.ja

Answer 1

I have just faced this problem, after updating my project to Gradle version 3.0.1. I was able to fix it by just including in Gradle app file the line:

annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.8.1'

The final result was:

    dependencies {
        compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
        androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
            exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
        })

        ...

        compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.8.1'
        annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.8.1'
    }

I hope this helps somebody, although this question being old.
