Dagger2 Not Generating Dagger* classes

Question

As the title says, Dagger2 is not generating the Dagger* prefixed classes. I looked at some other similar posts here but nothing seems to work.

I cloned this repo https://github.com/ecgreb/mvpc, Invalidated the cache of Android Studio and restarted it, I deleted $Project/.gradle and $Home/.gradle/caches, Clean and Rebuild the project and still not working.

This has also happened on some projects that are using Dagger2

Am I missing something?

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'

android {
  compileSdkVersion 24
  buildToolsVersion "24.0.3"

  defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.ecgreb.mvpc"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 24
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
  }
  buildTypes {
    release {
      minifyEnabled false
      proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
  }
}

tasks.withType(Test) {
  testLogging {
    exceptionFormat "full"
    events "started", "skipped", "passed", "failed"
    showStandardStreams true
  }
}

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
  compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.1'

  compile "com.google.dagger:dagger:2.7"
  annotationProcessor "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.7"
  provided 'javax.annotation:jsr250-api:1.0'

  testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
  testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.10.19'
  testCompile 'org.assertj:assertj-core:1.7.1'
  testCompile 'org.robolectric:robolectric:3.1.2'
  testCompile 'org.khronos:opengl-api:gl1.1-android-2.1_r1'
}

The Application class.

package com.example.ecgreb.mvpc;

import android.app.Application;

import com.example.ecgreb.mvpc.controller.LoginActivity;

import javax.inject.Singleton;

import dagger.Component;
public class MvpcApplication extends Application {

  @Singleton @Component(modules = { LoginModule.class }) public interface ApplicationComponent {
    void inject(LoginActivity loginActivity);
  }

  private ApplicationComponent component;

  @Override public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    //DaggerApplicationComponent IS NOT BEING GENERATED
    component = DaggerApplicationComponent.builder().build();
  }

  public ApplicationComponent component() {
    return component;
  }
}

If you use

apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'

Then instead of

 annotationProcessor "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.7"

do

 apt "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.7"

---

Android-apt won't work in AS 3.0 though, so you'll need annotationProcessor in place of every apt.

---

If you use Kotlin, then you must replace annotationProcessor with kapt, and also add apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' to your build.gradle file
