## What it is
An Android Studio/IntelliJ plugin that generates ButterKnife view injection code from selected layout XML references with one click. It can also create ViewHolder classes for adapters.

## Use cases
- generate butterknife view injections automatically
- avoid writing findViewById boilerplate in Android activities
- create viewholder code for android adapters
- speed up android layout binding code generation

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Android project that still uses ButterKnife
- you want one-click generation of view injection boilerplate in Android Studio

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Android project - ButterKnife itself is deprecated in favor of ViewBinding
- you use Kotlin with ViewBinding or DataBinding
- you need a plugin actively updated for the latest Android Studio versions
