Question

What are the migration paths between them?

RepoPilot

I can only answer questions about google/exoplayer or jakewharton/butterknife.

These are two separate, unrelated projects:

  • google/exoplayer is a deprecated media player library for Android.
  • jakewharton/butterknife is a view injection and event binding library for Android.

There is no migration path between them because they solve different problems. They could theoretically be used together in the same Android project (one for media playback, one for view binding), but they don't replace or migrate into each other.

If you're asking about:

  • Migrating away from ExoPlayer: The README indicates users should migrate to AndroidX Media3. See [google/exoplayer README] — "All users should migrate to AndroidX Media3" and "The latest version of ExoPlayer is published as part of [AndroidX Media3][]."
  • Migrating away from ButterKnife: The CHANGELOG notes at [jakewharton/butterknife CHANGELOG.md:L1-L3] mention "Heads up: Development on this tool is winding down as view binding is stable in AS/AGP 3.6+."

Could you clarify what migration you're interested in?
