How to Use ButterKnifeZelezny X Plugin in Android Studio?

Laziness is one of the most powerful properties of a good programmer, most android developers know about JakeWharton’s ButterKnife annotation library. Without writing repeated elements like findViewById() and setONClickListner(), we use this library, so it can reduce the developer burden to write the same code again and again when there are many views in the layout that need to get references through findViewByID(). The 7 features of butterknife plug-ins are:

1. Optimize your code.
2. Binding View.
3. Also Binding resources.
4. Provide an event listener.
5. Provide List adapter.
6. Provide RecyclerViewAdapter.
7. Setting View property.
