No dependency is solving dagger's generated anotation in Android studio

Question

I want to use Java 11, and I use many Dependencies including dagger as well

 // Dagger
implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger:$daggerVersion"
implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger-android:$daggerVersion"
implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-support:$daggerSupportVersion"
kapt "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-processor:$daggerSupportVersion"
kapt "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:$daggerCompilerVersion"

Now, when I run the project, I get this error:

 /app/dagger/module/ActivityModule_ProvideStatsActivityViewModelFactory.java:6: error: package javax.annotation.processing does not exist
import javax.annotation.processing.Generated;  import javax.annotation.processing.Generated;
                              ^

After searching and implementing many answers still not able to solve this error.

I tried to add all step by step and together also.

    implementation('javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.1')
    implementation('javax.activation:activation:1.1')
    implementation('org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:2.3.2')


    implementation "jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api:2.3.2"
    implementation "org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime:2.3.2"


    implementation 'javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.1'


    implementation 'javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.3.2'
    kapt 'javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.3.2'

    compileOnly 'org.glassfish:javax.annotation:10.0-b28'

Answer 1

As per stated over this answer , root cause of the issue is that the file Generated.java was not found while using code generation on JDK 9+

Solution is to either use this dependency: https://github.com/pengrad/jdk9-deps which is compileOnly dependency or else use the solution as per following:

1. Create package under src/main (project source)

   src/main/javax.annotation.processing in project source

2. Put below file content under the created package:

Generated.java

 package javax.annotation.processing; public @interface Generated { String[] value(); String date() default ""; String comments() default ""; }

---

This will resolve the issue for dagger during compilation in android projects.

error: package javax.annotation.processing does not exist
import javax.annotation.processing.Generated;  import javax.annotation.processing.Generated;
