I have 2 modules: AndroidModule for providing Context-related objects and PhotosModule providing PhotoManager.
I want to use PhotoManager in PhotosFragment. PhotoManager depends on DbManager, which is provided by AndroidModule.
How do I connect all the dots?
The code compiles, but a NPE is thrown on this line:
mDbManager.readDatabase();
meaning that the injection of DbManager into PhotoManager did not occur, even though I set the
injects = PhotoManager.class
in AndroidModule.
Also, mDbManager is not a private field, so I don't think I have to use injection on PhotoManager's constructor; field injection should be sufficient.
What's the reason and how do I satisfy the missing dependency? I assume there may be more than one problem with my code. Note: I just started with Dagger, please keep that in mind.
Application:
public class TestApp extends Application {
private ObjectGraph mObjectGraph;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mObjectGraph = ObjectGraph.create(getModules().toArray());
}
protected List<Object> getModules() {
return Arrays.asList(new AndroidModule(this), new PhotosModule());
}
public void inject(Object object) {
mObjectGraph.inject(object);
}
}
AndroidModule:
#Module(library = true, injects = PhotoManager.class)
public class AndroidModule {
private final TestApp mApplication;
public AndroidModule(TestApp application) {
mApplication = application;
}
#Provides
#Singleton
#ForApplication
Context provideApplicationContext() {
return mApplication;
}
#Provides
#Singleton
DbManager provideDbManager() {
return new DbManager(mApplication);
}
}
PhotosModule:
#Module(injects = PhotosFragment.class)
public class PhotosModule {
#Provides
#Singleton
PhotoManager providePhotoManager() {
return new PhotoManager();
}
}
PhotoManager:
#Singleton
public class PhotoManager {
#Inject
DbManager mDbManager;
public void doSomething() {
mDbManager.readDatabase();
}
}
PhotosFragment:
public class PhotosFragment extends Fragment {
#Inject
PhotoManager mPhotoManager;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
((TestApp) getActivity().getApplication()).inject(this);
}
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
///...
mPhotoManager.doSomething();
}
}
DbManager:
#Singleton
public class DbManager {
public DbManager(Context context) {
//...
}
public void readDatabase() {
//...
}
}
Here's the core of the problem: in PhotosModule, you have the provider method:
PhotoManager providePhotoManager() {
return new PhotoManager();
}
You are newing up the PhotoManager yourself, so Dagger doesn't have an opportunity to inject its dependency (the DbManager).
I think it's because you're misunderstanding the meaning of the injects property on the #Module(injects=...) annotation of the AndroidModule. You have:
#Module(library = true, injects = PhotoManager.class)
But that injects isn't needed, because you're never calling objectGraph.inject on the PhotoManager. Instead, you're only injecting the PhotoFragment, which is correct...
So one way to fix the NPE problem:
remove the injects=PhotoManager.class from AndroidModule.java:
#Module(library = true)
change PhotosModule to include AndroidModule:
#Module(injects = PhotosFragment.class, includes = AndroidModule.class)
I avoid field injection using the #Inject annotation (only use it for the top-level objects, i.e. where you do the objectgraph.inject, such as activity and fragment level), and use constructor injection instead for all the other dependencies. So I'd change PhotoManager to inject the DbManager like this:
private final DbManager mDbManager;
public PhotoManager(DbManager dbManager) {
mDbManager = dbManager;
}
I've put up the code here on GitHub.

I have a module as follows.
#Module
public class AppModule {
private final Application app;
public AppModule(Application app) {
this.app = app;
}
#Provides
#Architecture.ApplicationContext
Context provideContext() {
return app;
}
#Provides //scope is not necessary for parameters stored within the module
public Context context() {
return provideContext();
}
#Singleton
#Provides
Application provideApp() {
return app;
}
#Singleton
#Provides
SoundsRepository provideSoundsRepository(Context context, SoundsDAO soundsDAO) {
return new SoundsRepository(context, soundsDAO);
}
}
A component like this.
#Singleton
#Component(modules = AppModule.class)
public interface AppComponent {
void inject(Global global);
void inject(MainActivity mainActivity);
#Architecture.ApplicationContext
Context getContext();
Application getApplication();
void inject(PostView postView);
void inject(MediaPlayerService mediaPlayerService);
}
In activity, fragment or service, I do this
#Inject
SoundsRepository soundsRepository;
#Override
protected void onCreate(...) {
//....
((Global) getApplication()).getComponent().inject(this);
}
In SoundsRepository
#Singleton
public class SoundsRepository {
#Inject
public SoundsRepository(Context context, SoundsDAO soundsDAO) {
this.context = context;
this.soundsDAO = soundsDAO;
System.out.println(TAG + "INIT");
}
// ....
}
So, now, every time I start to access an activity or service where SoundsRepository is injected, I get a new instance, I mean, the constructor of "SoundsRepository" fires again.
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT : Inject in Application Class
public class Global extends MultiDexApplication {
protected AppComponent appComponent;
private boolean calledAlready = false;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
//if (LeakCanary.isInAnalyzerProcess(this)) return;
//LeakCanary.install(this);
initFirebasePersistance();
appComponent = DaggerAppComponent.builder().appModule(new AppModule(this)).build();
appComponent.inject(this);
FrescoUtil.init(getApplicationContext());
}
public AppComponent getComponent() {
return appComponent;
}
}
In your module you have a method that provides an instance of SoundsRepository - good
In your AppComponent you are missing a:
SoundsRepository soundsRepository();
In your Global which extends Application/MultidexApplication you create your DaggerAppComponent - good
In your other activities/fragments/services just call:
Global application = (Global) getApplication();
SoundsRepository sr = application.getComponent().soundsRepository()
Android guarantees you have only one instance of your Application (Global) class for all other actvities/services (its somewhat like a singleton).
So keep your component in that application class, and whenever you need your class, call: (YourApplication) getApplication().getComponent().yourSingleInstanceSomething();
I created and tested sample code for you: https://github.com/zakrzak/StackDaggerTest
Dagger's #Singleton is just a scope, and does not guarantee returning a singular instance of a class.
In my understanding, if you:
void inject(PostView postView);
you tell Dagger to make everything you annotated with #Provided in AppModule accessible in your PostView as soon as you request it with:
#Inject
SoundsRepository soundsRepository;
then dagger just calls the #provided method which in your case returns a new SoundRepository instance:
#Singleton
#Provides
SoundsRepository provideSoundsRepository(Context ........) {
return new SoundsRepository(...);
}
which causes your problem
I'm implimenting Dagger 2 in my Android app. I have it setup in the following way:
AppComponent.java
#Singleton
#Component(modules = {
AndroidInjectionModule.class,
AndroidSupportInjectionModule.class,
ActivityBuilder.class,
AppModule.class,
DataBaseDaoModule.class
})
public interface AppComponent {
#Component.Builder
interface Builder {
#BindsInstance
Builder application(Application aApplication);
AppComponent build();
}
Application application();
void inject(MyApplication aApplication);
}
AppInjector.java
ublic class AppInjector {
public static void init(MyApplication aApplication) {
//Initialize dagger and inject the aApplication
DaggerAppComponent.builder().application(aApplication).build().inject(aApplication);
aApplication.registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(new Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks() {
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Activity aActivity, Bundle aBundle) {
handleActivity(aActivity);
}
#Override
public void onActivityStarted(Activity aActivity) {
}
#Override
public void onActivityResumed(Activity aActivity) {
}
#Override
public void onActivityPaused(Activity aActivity) {
}
#Override
public void onActivityStopped(Activity aActivity) {
}
#Override
public void onActivitySaveInstanceState(Activity aActivity, Bundle aBundle) {
}
#Override
public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity aActivity) {
}
});
}
private static void handleActivity(Activity aActivity) {
if (aActivity instanceof HasActivityInjector) {
AndroidInjection.inject(aActivity);
Timber.d("injected Activity");
}
if (aActivity instanceof FragmentActivity) {
((FragmentActivity) aActivity).getSupportFragmentManager()
.registerFragmentLifecycleCallbacks(
new FragmentManager.FragmentLifecycleCallbacks() {
#Override
public void onFragmentCreated(FragmentManager fm, Fragment f,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
if (f instanceof Injectable) {
Timber.d("injected Fragment");
AndroidSupportInjection.inject(f);
}
}
}, true);
}
}
}
AppModule.java
Module(includes = ViewModelModule.class)
class AppModule {
#Singleton
#Provides
ApiService providesApiService(OkHttpClient aClient, MyInterceptor aInterceptor) {
//Build a Retrofit object here
}
#Singleton
#Provides
OkHttpClient providesOkHTTPClient(MyInterceptor aInterceptor) {
//Setup OKHTTP here
}
}
And finally in MyApplication.Java in the onCreate method I just call the AppInjector like so: AppInjector.init(this);
All of this works and anything I put in my AppComponent's moduels, I can inject into Activities, Fragments and ViewModels.
However, I have cases where I would need a utility class, that depends on Application, for contex - and I use the utility class in various places. Or I will have a Manager class, that depends on Application, or needs something from AppModule. However, since I use these classes outside of Activities, Fragments and ViewModels I cannot just inject. How would I provide my utility classes with their dependencies and any other type of class - like a manager class?
My first thought was to create a UtilityComponent and a ManagerCompoent of sorts, however I have no idea how I would get them to work with anything in AppModuel or through my AppComponent.
Please don't just use component.inject(myObject) for everything. Always prefer constructor injection or provide it from a module where you can do additional setup steps. .inject(myObject) is intended for Framework components where you don't have access to the constructor.
My first thought was to create a UtilityComponent and a ManagerCompoent of sorts, however I have no idea how I would get them to work with anything in AppModuel or through my AppComponent.
You don't need a separate component for that. See below.
However, since I use these classes outside of Activities, Fragments and ViewModels I cannot just inject.
That has nothing to do with injection. You're talking about scopes, and it sound like your utilities are a #Singleton. Your AppComponent is a #Singleton scoped component, hence it can be used to provide your utils, too.
However, I have cases where I would need a utility class, that depends on Application, for context
If they are part of the #Singleton component, which has access to your Application, they can also be provided anywhere else. No need for more components or anything. Just declare your dependencies and don't overthink it.
Just declare your util, annotate it with #Singleton and mark the constructor with #Inject for constructor injection. #Singleton ensures that it will be provided by your AppComponent and can access the Application on which it depends.
#Singleton public class MyUtil {
private Application application;
#Inject public MyUtil(Application application) {
this.application = application;
}
}
And then you can just inject it in your Activities, Fragments, or even into other Utilities....
#Singleton public class MyUtilWrapper {
private MyUtil myUtil;
#Inject public MyUtilWrapper(MyUtil myUtil) {
this.myUtil = myUtil;
}
}
And you can inject either or both into your activity or fragment...
#Inject MyUtil myUtil;
#Inject MyUtilWrapper myUtilWrapper;
void onCreate(..) {
AndroidInjection.inject(this);
}
You do not need any modules, provides methods, or components to provide simple classes. Just make sure to add the right scope!
Hi I've read through other posts but I am not being able to fix it. Basically my issue is that I call .inject and when I want to use the field it's still null.
I have this class:
public class Application extends Game implements IApplication {
#Inject IApplication app;
#Inject IRouter router;
public Application(IPlatformCode platformCode) {
}
#Override
public void create() {
initDagger();
System.out.println(app); //NULL
System.out.println(router); //NULL
router.showPage(Page.MenuPage); //NULL EXCEPTION
}
#Override
public void render() {
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1, 0.5f, 1, 1);
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
super.render();
}
#Override
public void setPage(IPage page) {
setScreen(page);
}
protected void initDagger() {
ApplicationComponent.Initializer.init(this).inject(this);
RouterComponent.Initializer.init().inject(this);
}
}
I won't show the router because I'm doing the same in app.
My Application component looks like this:
#Singleton
#Component ( modules = {ApplicationModule.class })
public interface ApplicationComponent {
void inject(IApplication application);
IApplication getApplication();
static final class Initializer {
private Initializer(){}
public static ApplicationComponent init(IApplication app) {
return DaggerApplicationComponent
.builder()
.applicationModule(new ApplicationModule(app))
.build();
}
}
}
And this is the module:
#Module
public class ApplicationModule {
private IApplication app;
public ApplicationModule(IApplication app) {
this.app = app;
}
#Provides
#Singleton
public IApplication providesApplication(){
return app;
}
}
As far as I read after calling inject(IApplication) the #Inject IApplication should be injected and have a value but right now it's null.
The generated code looks like this:
public final class DaggerApplicationComponent implements ApplicationComponent {
private Provider<IApplication> providesApplicationProvider;
private DaggerApplicationComponent(DaggerApplicationComponent.Builder builder) {
assert builder != null;
this.initialize(builder);
}
public static DaggerApplicationComponent.Builder builder() {
return new DaggerApplicationComponent.Builder();
}
private void initialize(DaggerApplicationComponent.Builder builder) {
this.providesApplicationProvider = DoubleCheck.provider(ApplicationModule_ProvidesApplicationFactory.create(builder.applicationModule));
}
public void inject(IApplication application) {
MembersInjectors.noOp().injectMembers(application);
}
public IApplication getApplication() {
return (IApplication)this.providesApplicationProvider.get();
}
public static final class Builder {
private ApplicationModule applicationModule;
private Builder() {
}
public ApplicationComponent build() {
if(this.applicationModule == null) {
throw new IllegalStateException(ApplicationModule.class.getCanonicalName() + " must be set");
} else {
return new DaggerApplicationComponent(this);
}
}
public DaggerApplicationComponent.Builder applicationModule(ApplicationModule applicationModule) {
this.applicationModule = (ApplicationModule)Preconditions.checkNotNull(applicationModule);
return this;
}
}
}
Thanks in advance.
Your inject method
void inject(IApplication application);
needs to change to
void inject(Application application);
Note the change from IApplication to just Application. You can't use interfaces for inject methods, you need to use a class.
Typically, Dagger 2 component creation is done in a class extending one of Android's Application classes. This is primarily done to ensure that these components (and the dependencies they house) are only instantiated once. (see Dagger docs for more details: https://google.github.io/dagger/users-guide)
While I haven't seen anything that says you can't wire it up differently, I haven't found an example of it, either. I'm wondering if trying to wire the components on-the-fly with the Initializer.init() calls you're making is somehow bypassing Dagger's ability to setup Components for injection correctly. Would it be possible to refactor the instantiation of the Component classes into an Application implementation instead?
The code above looks like it should work (outside of getting a new DaggerApplicationComponent instance with every init() call instead of a Singleton), I can't really explain why it doesn't.
after search on web for learning about this feature most topics or post was using dependency injection for Retrofit or other android useful libraries, but i have some custom class which i want to use that with DI and i can't done it, for example i have simple custom class for using SharePreference and i'm using with that as an Singleton class
in my code i can't assign correct Dagger to component on SpApplication class to use that on activities or fragments
public class SP {
private SharedPreferences preferences;
private Context context;
public SP(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
private SharedPreferences getPrefs() {
return preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
}
public String getString(SharedPrefsTypes propertyName) {
return getPrefs().getString(propertyName.toString(), "");
}
public int getInt(SharedPrefsTypes propertyName) {
return getPrefs().getInt(propertyName.toString(), 0);
}
...
public enum SharedPrefsTypes {
Login
}
}
now i'm trying to use DI for that:
AppModules class:
#Module
public class AppModules {
private Context context;
public AppModules(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
#Provides
#Singleton
SP provideSharePreferences() {
SP sharePreference = new SP(context);
return sharePreference;
}
}
ApplicationComponent class:
#Component(modules = AppModules.class)
public interface ApplicationComponent {
void inject(ActivityMain activity);
}
SpApplication class:
public class SpApplication extends Application {
private static SpApplication self;
private ApplicationComponent component;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
self = this;
component = DaggerApplicationComponent.builder().build();
}
public static SpApplication get(Context context) {
return (SpApplication) context.getApplicationContext();
}
public static SpApplication getInstance() {
return self;
}
public ApplicationComponent getComponent() {
return component;
}
}
and my ActivityMain class:
public class ActivityMain extends AppCompatActivity {
#Inject
SP sharePreference;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
((SpApplication) getApplication()).getComponent().inject(this);
sharePreference.setInt(SP.SharedPrefsTypes.Login, 0);
}
}
I get this error:
android.app.Application cannot be cast to com.pishguy.yendir.SpApplication
Thanks in advance
I guess you are trying to inject into ActivityMain, but since you did not provide its source, let me show you how you could inject into SpApplication. Then just copy the relevant parts into your Activity.
Few things I think you need to change.
Module:
Your AppModules class is generally OK, but I just suggest you to change the way you make use of Context - don't use it as a field, but inject it as any other service. It looks like this:
#Module
public class AppModules {
private Context context;
public AppModules(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
#Provides // this can be non-scoped because anyway the same instance is always returned
Context provideContext() {
return this.context;
}
#Provides
#Singleton
SP provideSharePreferences(Context context) {
return new SP(context); // use method-local Context
}
}
Component:
If component injects scoped services (#Singleton is a scope), the component itself must be scoped
If you want to inject into SpApplication class, then declare it as an injection client in the component
Taking into account these two points, ApplicationComponent should look like this:
#Singleton // injects #Singleton scoped services
#Component(modules = AppModules.class)
public interface ApplicationComponent {
void inject(SpApplication application); // SpApplication is DI client (injection target)
}
Client:
I'd change few things in your SpApplication class:
The way you instantiate ApplicationComponent is incorrect
This is not a bug, but you don't really need get(Context) and getInstance() methods
In addition, since I'm showing how you inject into SpApplication, I will add the injection logic as well (which you should copy to your actual clients).
So, SpApplication (which is DI client) should look similar to this:
public class SpApplication extends Application {
#Inject SP sp; // the dependency that should be injected
private ApplicationComponent component;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
getComponent().inject(this); // this is when the actual injection takes place
}
public ApplicationComponent getComponent() {
if (component == null) {
// this is the way Dagger components should be instantiated
component = DaggerApplicationComponent.builder()
.appModules(new AppModules(this))
.build();
}
return component;
}
}
If you perform the above changes, I tend to believe that you'll be all right.
BTW, I recently completed a blog post about Dagger 2 scopes. You might want to check it if you are going to be serious about dependency injection.
I am trying to inject my android context from one module into another. This is my code so far:
UserProfileModule.java
#Module(
library = true
)
public class UserProfileModule {
#Inject Context _context;
#Provides
public AccountUtils.UserProfile provideUserProfile() {
return AccountUtils.getUserProfile(_context);
}
}
RootModule.java
#Module(
injects = {
PizzaApplication.class,
UserProfileModule.class,
MainActivity.class
},
includes = {
UserProfileModule.class
},
library = true
)
public class RootModule {
private final Context _context;
public RootModule(Context context) {
_context = context;
}
#Provides
#Singleton
public Context provideApplicationContext() {
return _context;
}
}
Anytime it tries to get the user profile it fails saying the object is null.]
EDIT:
PizzaApplication.java
public class PizzaApplication extends Application {
private ObjectGraph objectGraph;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
injectDependencies();
}
private void injectDependencies() {
objectGraph = ObjectGraph.create(new RootModule(this));
objectGraph.inject(this);
}
public void inject(Object object) {
objectGraph.inject(object);
}
}
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends BaseActivity {
#InjectView(R.id.toolbar) public Toolbar _toolbar;
#InjectView(R.id.drawer) public DrawerFrameLayout _drawer;
#Inject public AccountUtils.UserProfile _profile;
#Inject public Context _context;
// private NavigationDrawerFragment navigationDrawerFragment;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle saveInstanceState) {
tl;dr (Short version):
For a minimal working example of your code, see my code on GitHub
You don't need to / should't inject the Context from one module into another.
The order/direction of your module includes is reversed, the UserProfileModule should include the RootModule.
More details and comments on your code:
You don't need to inject something into a module, a module only provides dependencies. In your case simply making use of the module includes gives the functionality you want.
Remove the library = true from UserProfileModule, because you only need this when the module's providers aren't all used directly by the classes specified in the injects list.
As Niek Haarman said, you need to pass both RootModule and UserProfileModule instances to ObjectGraph.create in your PizzaApplication's onCreate.
You're doing inject(this) in PizzaApplication but it's got no dependencies, so the inject isn't necessary. Based on the sample code you've provided, this makes me think you're assuming that injecting on the Application-level will also inject Activity dependencies...? You need to do the inject on your Activity too.
You don't show if you're doing an inject in your Activity's onCreate -- that's most likely what's missing.
You're injecting Context into the Activity but that's not necessary since you can just use getApplicationContext() in the Activity.
Here's the working code:
RootModule:
#Module(
injects = {MainActivity.class},
library = true,
complete = false
)
public class RootModule {
private final Context _context;
public RootModule(Context context) {
_context = context;
}
#Provides
#Singleton
public Context provideApplicationContext() {
return _context;
}
}
UserProfileModule:
#Module(includes = {RootModule.class})
public class UserProfileModule {
#Provides
public AccountUtils.UserProfile provideUserProfile(Context context) {
return AccountUtils.getUserProfile(context);
}
}
MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends BaseActivity {
#Inject
public AccountUtils.UserProfile _profile;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
((PizzaApplication) getApplication()).inject(this);
_profile.message();
}
PizzaApplication:
public class PizzaApplication extends Application {
private ObjectGraph objectGraph;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
objectGraph = ObjectGraph.create(new RootModule(this), new UserProfileModule());
}
public void inject(Object object) {
objectGraph.inject(object);
}
}
You have
objectGraph = ObjectGraph.create(new RootModule(this));
But, includes = { UserProfileModule.class } is no magic. You have to create it yourself:
objectGraph = ObjectGraph.create(new RootModule(this), new UserProfileModule() );
Furthermore, the #Inject annotation on the Context doesn't work. You're better off modifying your provider method:
#Provides
public AccountUtils.UserProfile provideUserProfile(Context context) {
return AccountUtils.getUserProfile(context);
}
I cannot guarantee this will solve all your problems, but it will help you in the right direction.
