ButterKnife deprecated , needs to be replaced by view binding.

[yellowHatpro]

The project uses the Butterknife library for injecting views, but the problem is butterknife is now deprecated.
The project needs to switch from Butterknife to ViewBinding, which is more efficient and generates less boiler plate code.

Hey @ken1000minus7.

Thanks for your interest in contributing to the enviroCar project. Unfortunately, this issue is reserved for being worked on in the upcoming Google Summer of Code 2022. We found that replacing the deprecated ButterKnife library as well as another heavily used library (see #827), requires extensive efforts, so that we considered it as a an appropriate project for GSoC. If you'd like to take part in it, please have a look at our GSoC information page: https://wiki.52north.org/Projects/GSoC2022ProjectIdeas. Maybe, there is also another project idea, you'll find interesting ;-).

The final project descriptions will be online, as soon as we know about our acceptance for GSoC 2022. So stay tuned.
