Dagger2 component is not created

Question

Here is the code....

build.gradle

    // Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1'
        classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()

        classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {

        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir

All my problem is about the file "DaggerSampleComponent" which is not at all getting created unless i delete all inject in interface.

Java version : 1.8

The same code seems working on my office Mac but not in my Windows. struggling a lot for this. Can someone help me!!!

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

When something goes wrong with your Dagger 2 setup, you will get a compile-time message in the Gradle console when you try and build (it's in the bottom right corner of Android Studio). The message will tell you what is wrong and give you a clue for how to fix it.

In your case, it looks like you have something like this inside your LoginActivity :

@Inject FileOrganiserModule fileOrganiserModule;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

Dagger 2 modules and components are like scaffolding that helps you to request injection for the dependencies in your project. You normally shouldn't request injection of them by putting @Inject annotations on them.

If you have to create your module with a reference of the current Activity, you normally just create an instance of the module using the constructor:

void injectMembers() {
    DaggerLoginComponent.builder().loginModule(new LoginModule(this));
}

Or you can use the new dagger.android classes to do that for you. A good example project for you to follow is in the Google Android Architecture Blueprints repo here
