lateinit property has not been initialized

问题

I have a custom linearlayout class and when I want to create instance of this class, I got an error lateinit property has not been initialized I'm using the latest version of butterknife library

this is my kotlin class

class MenuItemView : LinearLayout {

@BindView(R.id.menu_title_text_view_id)
lateinit var menuTitleTextView : CTextBasic

constructor(ctx: Context) : super(ctx) {
}

init {
    val view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.menu_item,this)
    ButterKnife.bind(this,view)
}

constructor(ctx: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) : super(ctx, attrs) {
    val menuAttrs = context.theme.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.MenuItemView, 0, 0)
    try {
        val title: String = menuAttrs.getString(R.styleable.MenuItemView_menu_title)
        menuTitleTextView.text = title
    }catch (e : Exception){
        e.printStackTrace()
    }finally {
        menuAttrs.recycle()
    }
}
fun setTitle( title : String){
    menuTitleTextView.text = title
}
}

this is error log

回答1:

If you don't want to use any thirdparty libraries, you can add these extension functions (I tend to have a ContextExtensions.kt or ViewExtensions.kt for Context or View related extension functions), then put in it

inline fun <reified T : View> View.find(id: Int): T = findViewById(id) as T
inline fun <reified T : View> Activity.find(id: Int): T = findViewById(id) as T
inline fun <reified T : View> Fragment.find(id: Int): T = view?.findViewById(id) as T

these let you call find from within Activity, Fragment, and Views. So inside your class instead of

@BindView(R.id.menu_title_text_view_id) lateinit var menuTitleTextView : CTextBasic

you can have

val menuTitleTextView by lazy { find<CTextBasic>(R.id.menu_title_text_view_id) }

For things like UIs, it's better to val instead of var when they don't need to change. As a general rule in programming, try to keep things as immutable as possible, you would get far less bugs.

Use Kotterknife for Butter Knife-esque View Binding for Kotlin.

Then you can bind your View with

val menuTitleTextView: CTextBasic by bindView(R.id.menu_title_text_view_id)

I found this works for me.

Change your build.gradle in your project app module.

dependencies {
    compile "com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.8.1"
    kapt "com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.8.1"
}

use kapt instead of annotationProcessor.

and then you can do your familiar ButterKnife annotation like this:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    @BindView(R.id.myButton)
    lateinit var myButton: Button

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        ButterKnife.bind(this)
        //...
    }
}

Enjoy.

In my case, I wasn't building ButterKnife correctly. Make sure you're importing its compiler in your module's build.gradle:

...
// Butter Knife
implementation "com.jakewharton:butterknife:$butterKnifeVersion"
kapt "com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:$butterKnifeVersion"
...

The discussion at Jetbrain's samples thread shed more light on this issue for me.

Another issue is that you might be accessing the views before the container has been created. Here is a related question, the discussion there is specific to kotlinx synthetic properties but same logic should apply to Butterknife view binding

回答5:

add apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' to the app level build.gradle file

example

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

and in dependencies section

implementation "com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.8.1"
kapt "com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.8.1"

Hope this Helps!

回答6:

Your initializer block is not called. It only gets called when your primary constructor gets called. In your case, the secondary constructor gets used when view objects get created from xml layouts.

Change your init{...} block to fun init(){...} and call it as first statement in every constructor

You forgot to add the constructor

constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet, defStyleAttr: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr)

=> add it and call init() in it
