Optional injection

[kmalmur]

It would be very convinient to have a possiblility to delclare an optional View, for example:

[InjectOptionalView(Resource.Id.view_id)] 
private View _lastLogView;

One of the cases where it is needed is when you have an alternative layout for tablets. Some views on tablet version may not exist and right now Cheeseknife.Inject(this) throws an exception.

Thats a great idea. I do not have capacity to implement this feature at the moment but I'll keep it in mind should I do an update to the library in the future. Otherwise I would welcome any pull requests if you wanted to assist in implementing this.

I would like to work on this. Ill send you a pull,

@Mack369 I can't seem to reproduce this on my end. The widget is returned as null, and the field/property is set to null. No exception.

#6 adds this, plus more I had to add to build and test it.

[MarcelBraghetto]

@MisterJimson thanks for your input - looks pretty good, but there is also a 'Binaries' folder in the repo that has the output .DLL and XML metadata for people who want a DLL instead of the source class. Are you able to update your PR with an updated DLL in it?

[MisterJimson]

@MarcelBraghetto ah yes, I will do that.

Edit: Done.

Sorry if this is bad etiquette - is it possible to get a latest version published to Xamarin store? Not sure which is considered the latest (best?) code to use.

[MarcelBraghetto]

@Bearrino Hi Bearrino, unfortunately I no longer have an active Xamarin subscription (I use Java these days for Android) so I'm not in a position to update the Xamarin store component.

If the component still services your needs you can continue to use it by my recommendation would be to actually use the source class from this Git repository and copy it into your code base directly. Its a single class and not terribly complex so it would also allow you to tailor it to your needs. Thanks for the question though!

Hi @MarcelBraghetto ,
First~off thanks to this.
Is there some updates to this? I badly need this on BindView or BindOptionalView.
