Android Dagger-2 how to provide the dependency for method parameters

Question

I have a module FragmentModule

@Module
public class FragmentModule
{
    @Provides
    public static PickerDashboardFragment providesPickerDashboard(int status, String name, Object someComplexObject)
    {
        PickerDashboardFragment fragment = new PickerDashboardFragment();
        Bundle b = new Bundle();
        b.putInt("status", status);
        b.putString("name", name);
        b.putInt("object", someComplexObject);
        fragment.setArguments(bundle);
        return fragment;
    }

    @Provides
    public static PickingFragment providesPickingFragment()
    {
        PickingFragment fragment = new PickingFragment();
        return fragment;
    }
}

Here's my Component class

@Component(modules = {UtilModule.class, FragmentModule.class})
public interface ApplicationComponent
{
    void inject(PickerDashboardActivity target);
}

In my activity this is how i'm injecting the PickerDashboardActivity

@Inject 
PickerDashboardFragment frag;

ApplicationComponent component = DaggerApplicationComponent.builder().build();
        component.inject(this);

My question is what's the best and easiest way to provide the dependencies for PickerDashboardFragment providesPickerDashboard(int status, String name, Object someComplexObject) i.e status, name and someComplexObject.

Best Regards

Add attributes and Provides methods to your module like this:

@Module
public class FragmentModule
{

    private final int status;
    private final String name;
    private final Object someComplexObject;

    public FragmentModule(int status, String name, Object someComplexObject) {
        this.status = status;
        this.name = name;
        this.someComplexObject = someComplexObject;
    }

    @Provides
    int providesStatus() {
        return status;
    }

    @Provides
    String providesName() {
        return name;
    }

    @Provides
    Object providesSomeComplexObject() {
        return someComplexObjext;
    }

    @Provides
    public static PickerDashboardFragment providesPickerDashboard(int status, String name, Object someComplexObject)
    {
        PickerDashboardFragment fragment = new PickerDashboardFragment();
        Bundle b = new Bundle();
        b.putInt("status", status);
        b.putString("name", name);
        b.putInt("object", someComplexObject);
        fragment.setArguments(bundle);
        return fragment;
    }

    @Provides
    public static PickingFragment providesPickingFragment()
    {
        PickingFragment fragment = new PickingFragment();
        return fragment;
    }
}

Having a module providing ints and Strings will probably make you use some qualifiers (such as Named) in order to avoid collisions
