Dagger 2, sometimes on compiling I get "cannot find symbol class DaggerApplicationComponent"

Recent after update Android Studio (2.0.7) (maybe this is the cause) sometimes when building i get that error.

Idea is that usually compilation goes well but sometimes I get dagger error.

Is possible that is problem in Dagger configuration?

Error itself:

Executing tasks: [:app:assembleDebug]

Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.

What does Cannot find symbol mean in Java?

The cannot find symbol error, also found under the names of symbol not found and cannot resolve symbol , is a Java compile-time error which emerges whenever there is an identifier in the source code which the compiler is unable to work out what it refers to.

What is dagger in Android Studio?

Dagger generates code similar to what you would have written manually. Internally, Dagger creates a graph of objects that it can reference to find the way to provide an instance of a class. For every class in the graph, Dagger generates a factory-type class that it uses internally to get instances of that type.

It's seems that it have something to do with incremental compilation added in Gradle 2.10

I managed to fix it adding the following command to gradle:

-Pandroid.incrementalJavaCompile=false 

You can add it in Android Studio in: File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Compiler adding it as a Command line option.

edit as of 2.0.0-beta3 the plugin gives a warning telling you that this option has been added to the Gradle DSL:

android {     compileOptions.incremental = false }

You need to update your version 2.11 for dagger.

Your build.gradle's dependencies block should looks like following.

dependencies {
    // Other dependencies should go here
    compile "com.google.dagger:dagger:2.11"
    annotationProcessor "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.11"
    provided 'javax.annotation:jsr250-api:1.0'
    compile 'javax.inject:javax.inject:1'
}

Hope this helps.
