ButterKnife - MainActivity - Cannot resolve symbol "TextView" & "ImageView"

I think this may be a problem with the Gradle import I did itself, but I'll get onto that..

Firstly, when I went to the ButterKnife download part of its github page, I added all the download code it said into my Project and Module gradle files, after doing this it would give me an error of "Grade DSL method not found: apply()"

So after I take out all of the code and just enter..

compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.0.1'

The file now says it cannot resolve the TextView and Imageview in my main activity.

What can I do?

First see this post about configuring the current ButterKnife in gradle: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/more-deprecated-butterknife-code

Second, did you change anything the the Project's gradle file? I notice you have it open on a tab.

Yes I have already looked at that post.

I've added my project file for you to look at if need be - I added the project grade code as instructed in the download section on github..

Add this to you project-level build.gradle:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
   }
  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'
  }
}
