Butterknife: Butterknife with androidx

[MatyasK]

I'm using the androidx support library, but I receive this error:

error: package android.support.annotation does not exist |  

I looked at the generated file from Butterknife and it tries to use old support library.

How can I fix this?

edit: I just saw this was implemented 11 days ago, I'm on the latest version but still getting this error...

The latest version being 9.0.0-SNAPSHOT?

I'm not working with Matyas nor using the same project, just an unrelated person with the same (similar?) problem.

I tried migrating our project to AndroidX, and yes bumped Butter Knife to 9.0.0-SNAPSHOT. The build still failed for me.

I am using Butter Knife in a library module, using the butterknife-gradle-plugin and the error I've seen was in the library's R2.java file. Has this been by any chance missed in the recent PR or should this work as well?

I was using the 8.1.1 but with the snapshot version is working fine. Thank you!
