Dagger: IllegalArgumentException: No injector factory bound for Class

Question

I am new to Dagger 2. I have 2 Activities, I want to use injected ViewModel for both. Here is my ViewModuleFactory :

@Singleton
public class ProductViewModelFactory implements ViewModelProvider.Factory {

    private final Map<Class<? extends ViewModel>, Provider<ViewModel>> creators;

    @Inject
    public ProductViewModelFactory(Map<Class<? extends ViewModel>, Provider<ViewModel>> creators) {
        this.creators = creators;
    }


    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Override
    public <T extends ViewModel> T create(Class<T> modelClass) {
        Provider<? extends ViewModel> creator = creators.get(modelClass);
        if (creator == null) {
            for (Map.Entry<Class<? extends ViewModel>, Provider<ViewModel>> entry : creators.entrySet()) {
                if (modelClass.isAssignableFrom(entry.getKey())) {
                    creator = entry.getValue();
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        if (creator == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("unknown viewmodel class " + modelClass);
        }
        try {
            return (T) creator.get();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }
}

My ViewModelModule:

@Module
abstract class ViewModelModule {
    @Binds
    @IntoMap
    @ViewModelKey(ProductListViewModel.class)
    abstract ViewModel bindProductListViewModel(ProductListViewModel listViewModel);

    @Binds
    @IntoMap
    @ViewModelKey(ProductDetailsViewModel.class)
    abstract ViewModel bindProductDetailsViewModel(ProductDetailsViewModel detailsViewModel);

    @Binds
    abstract ViewModelProvider.Factory bindViewModelFactory(ProductViewModelFactory factory);
}

My ViewModelKey for mapping:

@Documented
@Target({ElementType.METHOD})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@MapKey
@interface ViewModelKey {
    Class<? extends ViewModel> value();
}

My ActivityModule :

@Module
public abstract class ActivityModule {
    abstract ProductListActivity contributeProductListActivity();
    abstract ProductDetailsActivity contributeProductDetailsActivity();
}

My AppModule:

@Module
class AppModule {

@Provides
    @Singleton
    RedMartProductService provideRedMartProductService() {
        ........
    }

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    ProductListRepository provideProductListRepository(ProductListRepository repository) {
        return repository;
    }

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    ProductDetailsRepository provideProductDetailsRepository(ProductDetailsRepository repository) {
        return repository;
    }
}

My AppComponent:

@Singleton
@Component(modules = {AndroidInjectionModule.class, ActivityModule.class, AppModule.class})
public interface AppComponent {
    @Component.Builder
    interface Builder {
        @BindsInstance
        Builder application(Application application);

        AppComponent build();
    }

    void inject(MartApplication martApp);
}

My Application:

public class MartApplication extends Application implements HasActivityInjector {

    @Inject
    DispatchingAndroidInjector<Activity> dispatchingAndroidInjector;

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
    }

    @Override
    public DispatchingAndroidInjector<Activity> activityInjector() {
        return dispatchingAndroidInjector;
    }
}

In Activity:

@Inject
ViewModelProvider.Factory viewModelFactory;
.......
AndroidInjection.inject(activity); // Throwing exception
ListViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this, viewModelFactory).get(ProductListViewModel.class);

It is throwing an exception on inject:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No injector factory bound for Class<com.mymart.ui.ProductListActivity>

Can anyone help me identify the problem in my code?

.......................................................................

Edit: I tried with ContributesAndroidInjector as per @azizbekian, but it resulted following error on build:

    error: [dagger.android.AndroidInjector.inject(T)] Found a dependency cycle:

Edit 2 After all changes, I am facing again exception:

Answer 1

I believe you have forgot to put @ContributesAndroidInjector annotation:

    @Module
    public abstract class ActivityModule {
        @ContributesAndroidInjector
        abstract ProductListActivity contributeProductListActivity();
        @ContributesAndroidInjector
        abstract ProductDetailsActivity contributeProductDetailsActivity();
    }

And include ViewModelModule within AppModule:

    @Module(includes = ViewModelModule.class)
    class AppModule {
        ...
    }

---

See this code that you have wrote:

@Provides
@Singleton
ProductListRepository provideProductListRepository(ProductListRepository repository) {
    return repository;
}

What do you expect to happen? You are telling dagger "hey, dagger, whenever I ask you to provide me ProductListRepository then create(return) that object using ProductListRepository". That's not gonna work out.

Most possibly what you intended was "hey, dagger, whenever I ask you to provide me an implementation of ProductListRepository then create(return) that object using ProductListRepositoryImpl":

@Provides
@Singleton
ProductListRepository provideProductListRepository(ProductListRepositoryImpl repository) {
    return repository;
}

Which may be substituted with following:

@Binds
@Singleton
abstract ProductListRepository provideProductListRepository(ProductListRepositoryImpl repository);

Answer 2

For this error: "Dagger: IllegalArgumentException: No injector factory bound for Class"

If you are using Navigation Component with Single Activity, you can see this error.

What should you do?

Please check your @Module abstract class FragmentProvider { ... } because you need to add your Fragment inside of it as Contribute.

@Module
abstract class FragmentProvider {

  @ContributesAndroidInjector // <- Do not forget this line.
  abstract fun contributeYourNewFragment(): YourNewFragment
}
