Solution 1:

I also ran into the same problem and after a bit of search i found this issue here: https://github.com/JakeWharton/butterknife/issues/1429

Here the creator of library has suggested that either you migrate to androidX or downgrade the library version to the compatible one.For now i am using following:

    implementation 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.8.0'
    annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.8.0'
