Butterknife не работает с тегом Include

Просто удалите идентификатор из тега включения, и привязка будет работать даже для полей включенного макета.

Основная деятельность,

public MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    // 1. First, we declare the layout that was included as a View objects.
    @BindView( R.id.layout_1 ) View layout_1;
    @BindView( R.id.layout_2 ) View layout_2;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate( Bundle savedInstanceState ) {
        super.onCreate( savedInstanceState );
        setContentView( R.layout.activity_main );

        // 2. In here, we bind the included layouts
        ButterKnife.bind( this );

        // 4. Then, we create objects of the type of the IncludedLayout.
        //      In this example the layout reuse the same layout twice, so, there are two
        //      IncludedLayouts.
        IncludedLayout includedLayout_1 = new IncludedLayout();
        IncludedLayout includedLayout_2 = new IncludedLayout();

        // 5. We bind the elements of the included layouts.
        ButterKnife.bind( includedLayout_1, layout_1 );
        ButterKnife.bind( includedLayout_2, layout_2 );

        // 6. And, finally, we use them.
        includedLayout_1.displayed_text.setText(  "Hello" );
        includedLayout_2.displayed_text.setText(  "Hey!" );
    }

    // 3. We create a static class that will be an container of the elements
    //     of the included layout. In here we declare the components that
    //     hold this. In this example, there is only one TextView.
    static class IncludedLayout {
        @BindView( R.id.displayed_text ) TextView displayed_text;
    }
}

XML MainActivity:

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <include android:id="@+id/layout_1" layout="@layout/included_layout" />
        <include android:id="@+id/layout_2" layout="@layout/included_layout" />
</LinearLayout>

XML включенного макета:

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/displayed_text"/>
</LinearLayout>

Вот и все!

Автор @JakeWharton говорит:

Put an ID on the <include> and bind it to an arbitrary View field for each one. 
Then create an object which binds the inner views

static class Something {
  @Bind(R.id.something) TextView somethingView;
}

You can then create multiple instances of that object
and call ButterKnife.bind(something1, include1) and 
ButterKnife.bind(something2, include2) and so on.

Consider also just making a custom view instead of using <include> which has 
proper APIs to get its children (or at least binds them to fields itself).

Я предлагаю вам вместо этого использовать библиотеку привязки данных, предоставленную Google. Масляного ножа

Поскольку этот вопрос довольно старый.

В настоящее время я могу подключиться к своему идентификатору в теге include (2019/октябрь).

Попробуйте сделать что-то вроде исходного вопроса, прежде чем углубляться.

@BindView(R.id.your_button_id_inside_include_tag) Button button;
