I had similar issues when migrating to androidx. this issue comes due to the Old Butter Knife library dependency.

if you are using butter knife then you should use at least butter knife version 9.0.0-SNAPSHOT or above.

implementation 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:9.0.0-SNAPSHOT' annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:9.0.0-SNAPSHOT'

All you need to do is to replace  import android support annotation Nullable  in class imports to  import androidx annotation Nullable    Thats a common practice  whenever any import giving issue   remove that import and simply press Alt Enter on the related class  that will give you option to  import class   hint Enter and things will get resolved
