Android Butterknife - binding in fragment

breakline picture breakline · Dec 11, 2015 · Viewed 50.6k times · Source

I'm using Butterknife for the first time but something must be wrong. I have a fragment and a Listview and a TextView just for testing but Butterknife wont bind my variables:

public class MyFragment extends Fragment {

    @Bind(R.id.resultListView) ListView resultList;

    @Bind(R.id.textView1) TextView test;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_my, container, false);
        ButterKnife.bind(this, view);
        System.out.println(resultList); //null
        System.out.println(view.findViewById(R.id.resultListView)); //works
        System.out.println(test); //null
        System.out.println(view.findViewById(R.id.textView1)); //works
        return view;
    }

}

No exception or anything. Manual binding works so my Views must be there.

This work for me:

Gradle

compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.6.0'
annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.6.0'

Code

.
...

@BindView(R.id.text_input)
TextView text_input;

@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_home, container, false);
    ButterKnife.bind(this, view);
    return view;
}

@Override
public void onActivityCreated(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

    text_input.setText("Lorem Ipsum");
...
