Koin Android：org.koin.error.NoBeanDefFoundException

Question

Got that message error

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application com.app.name.application.MainApplication: org.koin.error.BeanInstanceCreationException: Can't create bean Bean[class=com.app.name.general.preferences.Preferences] due to error :

        ... 8 more

But all dependencies were correct.

Also I noticed that modules without androidApplication() argument works correctly.

Code looks like:

    startKoin(listOf(
            imageManagerModule,
            databaseRepositoryModule
    ))

ImageManager works perfectly

val imageManagerModule: Module = applicationContext {
    bean { ImageManagerImpl() as ImageManager }
}

But Preferences crashes

val preferencesModule: Module = applicationContext {
    bean { PreferencesImpl(androidApplication()) as Preferences }
}

Answer 1

Solution is easy but not so obvious.

Somehow Android Studio imported standalone startKoin function instead of specific android function.

So I had to replace

import org.koin.standalone.StandAloneContext.startKoin

To

import org.koin.android.ext.android.startKoin

And that works!

Answer 2

In my case I needed to make like this:

import android.app.Application
 import org.koin.android.ext.koin.androidContext
  import org.koin.android.ext.koin.androidFileProperties
import org.koin.android.ext.koin.androidLogger
import org.koin.android.viewmodel.dsl.viewModel
import org.koin.core.context.startKoin
import org.koin.core.module.Module
import org.koin.dsl.module
class MyApplication : Application() {
override fun onCreate(){
    super.onCreate()
    // start Koin!
    startKoin {
        // Android context
        androidLogger()
        androidContext(this@MyApplication)
        // use the Android context given there
        // load properties from assets/koin.properties file
        androidFileProperties()


        // modules
        modules(myModule)
    }
}
val myModule: Module = module { viewModel { MyViewModel() }}

}

and use older dependencies:

 implementation("org.koin:koin-android:2.0.1")
implementation("org.koin:koin-android-viewmodel:2.0.1")

Answer 3

我有类似的问题，尝试只添加此依赖项，它将被解决

// Room implementation "android.arch.persistence.room:runtime:1.1.1" kapt "android.arch.persistence.room:compiler:1.1.1" .

Answer 4

In my case for another situation it wrote this message:

"org.koin.core.error.NoBeanDefFoundException: No definition found for class:'...Actions'. Check your definitions!"

private val actions: Actions by inject()

var modules = module(override = true) {
    single<Actions> { ActionsImpl(get()) }
}

@Test
fun test() {
    actions.swipe()
}

In this case Actions is an interface.
