Butterknife: [Suggestion] Declear this works with kotlin.

[DevDengChao]

I'm learning kotlin recently, then I tried to use ButterKnife with Kotlin directly, of course, nothing happened. Then I searched it, asked for help, and read the Kotlin's refrences-Kapt again to get an answer: use kapt and ButterKnife will work.
So my suggestion is add:

If you are using Kotlin

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

and this:

- annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.6.0'
+ kapt 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.6.0'

to ButterKnife-Download to tell others this works with Kotlin, maybe someone is looking for help just like me =)

Thanks so much! Have been trying to get it to work for ages now 😅

But if you are using Kotlin than you don't really need Butterknife anymore. You can use Android Kotlin Extensions. It is just a suggestion (of course).

Or property delegates

I had some problems switching from annotionProcessor to kapt because annotionProcessor disables java incremental builds by default and kapt doesn't. I had to disable it for my own

compileOptions.incremental = false

I think it is only necessary if you have a Base Class with @BindView fields.
