NullPointerException with using ButterKnife

Question

I enable annotation processing like this and follow this code:

public class MainFragment extends Fragment implements WeatherUpdater.AsyncResponse {

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

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
    ButterKnife.bind(this, view);
    temperature_max.setText("NULL POINTER!");
...
return view;
}
}

I have complex structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView>

<RelativeLayout>

    <LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout>

        <RelativeLayout>

            <RelativeLayout>

                <TextView>

                <TextView
                    android:id="@+id/temperature_max"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
                    android:textSize="20sp" />
            </RelativeLayout>

            ...
</ScrollView>

This LOGCAT:

Oh, yeah, I use this gradle version -> 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.0.1'

But I don't know why arise NullPointerException. I searched through Internet in search of a problem, but solutions and have not found. Does anyone help me? Thank you.

Answer 1

I think you forgot to Return your View.

public class MainFragment extends Fragment implements WeatherUpdater.AsyncResponse {

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

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
    ButterKnife.bind(this, view);
    temperature_max.setText("NULL POINTER!");
    return view; // This need to be return.
}
}

Edit 1 :

@Bind replaces @InjectView and @InjectViews. ButterKnife.bind and ButterKnife.unbind replaces ButterKnife.inject and ButterKnife.reset respectively.

And Also Add this.

TextView temperature_max = ButterKnife.findById(view, R.id.temperature_max);

Look at this Reference Here.
