HasActivityInjector can not be resolved in android dagger 2

Question

I was trying to implement HasActivityInjector in my android application but it's showing me HasActivityInjector cann't be resolved. Below dependencies and plugin I have used in my project-

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' 

and

implementation 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.16' kapt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.16' 

Here is the code I am trying -

class RanoBoilerplateApplication : Application(), HasActivityInjector{     @Inject     lateinit var activityDispatchingAndroidInjector:             DispatchingAndroidInjector<Activity>      override fun onCreate() {         super.onCreate()          DaggerAppComponent.builder()                 .application(this)                 .build()                 .inject(this)     }      override fun activityInjector(): AndroidInjector<Activity> =             activityDispatchingAndroidInjector } 

I don't know what other dependencies I must have to include to work that, help me if anyone have done this before.

Find the latest Dagger 2 version here.

Happy coding :-)

Answer 1

In case anyone comes here after updating to 2.24, this was removed: https://github.com/google/dagger/commit/3bd8f707cb28fd0c5f3abb4f87658566f8b52c10.

You can use HasAndroidInjector instead.

It's pretty late to answer but it might be useful for someone who is new to dagger world!

Its been replaced with HasAndroidInjector in order to avoid boilerplate of implementing multiple Dagger Interfaces like HasActivityInjector, HasServiceInjector etc, in your Application class. Now you only need to implement HasAndroidInjector like below:

class DaggerExampleApplication : Application(), HasAndroidInjector{         @Inject lateinit var androidInjector : DispatchingAndroidInjector<Any>         override fun androidInjector(): AndroidInjector<Any> = androidInjector        override fun onCreate() {          super.onCreate()          //Your code        }         }
