Kotter Knife is a Kotlin library for binding Android views to properties via delegated properties, inspired by ButterKnife. It is explicitly deprecated; the author recommends Android's built-in view binding instead.
Use cases
- bind android views to kotlin properties
- replace findViewById with delegated properties
- bind views in fragments and viewholders
- optional view binding in kotlin
- bind a list of views in android
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android codebase that already uses Kotter Knife
- studying how Kotlin delegated properties can wrap view lookups
When to avoid
- starting any new Android project
- you want view binding - use Android's official view binding
- you care about memory allocations, since it allocates an object per view reference
