butterknife v8.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-04-25 // almost 8 years ago
    • @Bind becomes @BindView and @BindViews (one view and multiple views, respectively).
    • Calls to bind now return an Unbinder instance which can be used to null references. This replaces the unbind API and adds support for being able to clear listeners.
    • New: @BindArray binds String, CharSequence, and int arrays and TypeArray to fields.
    • New: @BindBitmap binds Bitmap instances from resources to fields.
    • @BindDrawable now supports a tint field which accepts a theme attribute.
    • The runtime and compiler are now split into two artifacts.

      compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.0.0'
      apt 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.0.0'
      
    • New: apply overloads which accept a single view and arrays of views.

    • ProGuard rules now ship inside of the library and are included automatically.

    • @Optional annotation is back to mark methods as being optional.
