Butterknife won't generate injections in Android Studio

Question

When I click on setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); and go to the generate menu, the "generate injections using butterknife" option is not there. I also tried using the shift-command-B shortcut but it still doesn't work. I put these two lines in my build.gradle (Module:app) file

compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.7.0'

annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.7.0'  

I tried restarting Android Studio as well but nothing seems to work. Thanks to anyone who sees this!
