Dependency Injection on an android service

Question

I'm developing an Android app and using Roboguice 2.0.

All has gone incrediblby well, except now. I'm trying to inject my custom bindings to a service like this and it's not working.

    @Inject
private TicketService ticketService;

@Inject
private PerformanceService performanceService;

They've binded like this (first is custom app context):

 RoboGuice.setBaseApplicationInjector(
            this, 
            RoboGuice.DEFAULT_STAGE,
            Modules.override(RoboGuice.newDefaultRoboModule(this))
                .with(
                    new KoliseoModule(),
                    new DatastoreModule(this),
                    new ServiceModule()
                    ));


 public class ServiceModule extends AbstractModule {

@Override
protected void configure() {
      bind(JsonCheckinTimestampService.class).to(JsonCheckinTimestampServiceImpl.class);
    bind(PerformanceService.class).to(PerformanceServiceImpl.class);
    bind(ShowService.class).to(ShowServiceImpl.class);
    bind(TicketService.class).to(TicketServiceImpl.class);
    bind(ValidationStatisticsService.class).to(ValidationStatisticsServiceImpl.class);
}

}

Any ideas?

Thanks

It's very probably and probably even garanteed that the Application subclass of an application is loaded & instantiated before the rest of the instances are created so you could try that. Create a "MyApplication extends Application" class and do your setup in its "onCreate()", don't forget to declare in your manifest.
