Hi Sandeep,

It's looking for @BindView instead of @InjectView

This is the 3rd question on this challenge in 2 days. I'm starting to wonder if something broke here, given the answer requires mixing the 6.0 and 8.0 ButterKnife syntax. Ben Jakuben & Ben Deitch , can you look at this?

Thanks Seth! This was broke, but is now fixed and should match the ButterKnife docs.

In the syntax of the video tutorial and in the attached sourcecode it still says @InjectView even @BindView is the way to go. At least a note in the course would be helpful.
