butterknife @OnClick not working

Question

I've follow some of the solutions here for my problem but none of them worked. I implemented @OnClick using Butterkinfe but when I click it is not working. Moreover, if I try to implement the listener manually using setOnClickListener, it shows a null reference on bLoadDeliveres, as if the Butterknife did not find it.

Here's the xml layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".view.activity.LoginActivity">

    <Button
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/bLoadDeliveries"
        android:text="LOAD DELIVERIES" />
</LinearLayout>

If I do it like this, it just works so the layout is ok: This is OKAY

Button bLoadDeliveries;

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        bLoadDeliveries = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bLoadDeliveries);

        if(bLoadDeliveries == null)
            Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "Null", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        else {
            bLoadDeliveries.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View view) {
                    navigator.navigateToDeliveryList(context);
                }
            });
        }
    }

Using Butterknife, Compilation and run work just fine but when I click the button it does nothing, like the connection between the Button and the @OnClick is not done at all. Why is it null? Why is not connected? Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

This is NOT OKAY

public class LoginActivity extends BaseActivity {

    @BindView(R.id.bLoadDeliveries)
    Button bLoadDeliveries;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        ButterKnife.bind(this);
    }

    // Goes to the user list screen.    
    @OnClick(R.id.bLoadDeliveries)
    void navigateToUserList() {

        Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "Hola", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        this.navigator.navigateToDeliveryList(this);
    }
}

Answer 1

I looked at your original post (pre-edit) and it seems that in your presentation module gradle file you have apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt' That should be apply plugin: 'android-apt' (see the butterknife readme.md).

Also, do you have this line in your gradle anywhere: apt 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.2.1'? I see this: compile presentationDependencies.butterKnife' but wouldn't that turn into apt "com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.2.1" when the script is run (ie missing the "-compiler")?

EDITED

In your dependencies.gradle, in the presentationDependencies add the following line:

presentationDependencies = [    
    butterKnifeApt:        "com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:${butterKnifeVersion}",
]

Then in your presentation module modify:

apt presentationDependencies.butterKnife 

to:

apt presentationDependencies.butterKnifeApt
