Butterknife how to bindView from a different Views
android, butterknife, view
Solution
According the oficial documentation from `Butter Knife Library`
They have included `findById` methods which simplify code that still has to find views on a `View`, `Activity`, or `Dialog`. It uses generics to infer the return type and automatically performs the cast.
View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.thing, null);
TextView firstName = ButterKnife.findById(view, R.id.first_name);
TextView lastName = ButterKnife.findById(view, R.id.last_name);
ImageView photo = ButterKnife.findById(view, R.id.photo);
Add a static import for `ButterKnife.findById` and enjoy even more fun.

Problem
in my project I have this case: ``` @BindView(R.id.viewpager) ViewPager viewPager; TabLayout tabLayout; AddParkingFragmentListener listener; public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { View inflatedView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_add_parking, container, false); ButterKnife.bind(this, inflatedView); tabLayout = (TabLayout) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.tabs); tabLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); return inflatedView; } ``` where I need to bind a view that is in the `activity_main.xml` layout. I've thought that I could use an interface to disable the visibility directly in the MainActivity, but I would also know if there is the possibility to bind this view using Butterknife, because in the MainActivity I have also this problem: ``` protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); View view = navigationView.getHeaderView(0); profile = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imgPro); //this views are in the navigation view, how to bind using butterknife? logo = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.logo); email = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.email_profile); ButterKnife.bind(this); } ``` is there a way to do this or I need to use findViewById() method? Thanks
