Kotter Knife

Deprecated: This was a terrible idea because it allocates an object for every view reference. Do not use, and do not use anything like it. Use view binding instead.

Butter Knife-esque view binding for Kotlin.

public class PersonView(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?) : LinearLayout(context, attrs) {
  val firstName: TextView by bindView(R.id.first_name)
  val lastName: TextView by bindView(R.id.last_name)

  // Optional binding.
  val details: TextView? by bindOptionalView(R.id.details)

  // List binding.
  val nameViews: List<TextView> by bindViews(R.id.first_name, R.id.last_name)

  // List binding with optional items being omitted.
  val nameViews: List<TextView> by bindOptionalViews(R.id.first_name, R.id.middle_name, R.id.last_name)
}

These methods are available on subclasses of Activity, Dialog, ViewGroup, Fragment, the support library Fragment, and recycler view's ViewHolder.

Download

Currently not available via Maven Central.

A SNAPSHOT is available in the Sonatype snapshot repo.

compile 'com.jakewharton:kotterknife:0.1.0-SNAPSHOT'

You can also copy ButterKnife.kt into your source tree. The file depends on the 'support-v4' and 'recyclerview-v7' libraries but the dependency is easily removed by deleting a few lines.
