Hyperion-Android: ServiceLoader can’t load custom Plugin

Question

I faced an issue in Hyperion github. I want to add my custom item into Hyperion menu. As I figure out if I remove something from core-libs they would be removed successfully and vice versa. But if I add custom Plugin - nothing happens.

I've tried different versions of Hyperion it also does not affect the result.
Also, here what I've checked additionally:

1. Proguard
2. Imports
3. Dependencies
4. LayoutInspector
5. Sources with debugging
6. Packages
7. Flavors
8. Extract into a separate module
9. @AutoService annotation
10. set minifyEnabled false

Plugin:

import com.google.auto.service.AutoService
import com.willowtreeapps.hyperion.plugin.v1.Plugin
import com.willowtreeapps.hyperion.plugin.v1.PluginModule

@AutoService(Plugin::class)
class TestPlugin : Plugin() {
    override fun createPluginModule(): PluginModule? {
        return TestPluginModule()
    }
}

Module:

import android.view.LayoutInflater
import android.view.View
import android.view.ViewGroup
import com.willowtreeapps.hyperion.plugin.v1.PluginModule


class TestPluginModule : PluginModule() {
    override fun createPluginView(layoutInflater: LayoutInflater, parent: ViewGroup): View? {
        return layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.htest_plugin_item, parent, false)
    }
}

Dependencies:

def hyperionVersion = '0.9.27'
    debugImplementation "com.willowtreeapps.hyperion:hyperion-core:$hyperionVersion"
    debugImplementation "com.willowtreeapps.hyperion:hyperion-attr:$hyperionVersion"
    debugImplementation "com.willowtreeapps.hyperion:hyperion-crash:$hyperionVersion"
    debugImplementation "com.willowtreeapps.hyperion:hyperion-measurement:$hyperionVersion"
    debugImplementation "com.willowtreeapps.hyperion:hyperion-recorder:$hyperionVersion"
    debugImplementation "com.willowtreeapps.hyperion:hyperion-shared-preferences:$hyperionVersion"
    debugImplementation "com.willowtreeapps.hyperion:hyperion-timber:$hyperionVersion"

NOTE: on screenshots v0.9.26. But I've tested also v0.9.27, v0.9.25, v0.9.24.

Answer 1

it looks like the problem is related to the processing of @AutoService annotation. Make sure that you have added an annotation processor to the project.

You should add the following annotation processor to the build.gradle file.

for Kotlin project:

kapt 'com.google.auto.service:auto-service:1.0-rc6'

for Java project:

annotationProcessor 'com.google.auto.service:auto-service:1.0-rc6'
