Do I have to change something in order for butterknife work with kotlin ?
I am getting this err :
Caused by: kotlin.UninitializedPropertyAccessException: lateinit property introIndicator0 has not been initialized

@BindView( R.id.imageview_welcome_intro_indicator_0) lateinit var introIndicator0: ImageView

Just change all annotationProcessor to kapt and apply the kapt plugin. apply plugin: kotlin-kapt
