Question

I am getting this issue after integrating Dagger 2 to implement dependency injection of ImageDownloader library while running the app.

This is what I did:

In build.gradle. I added these lines:

implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger:2.16"
implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-support:2.16"
annotationProcessor "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.16"
annotationProcessor "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-processor:2.16"

This is my class API in which I wanted to separate dependencies from the activity class:

public class ImageDownloaderApi {

    @Inject
    public ImageDownloaderApi(){
    }

    //some other methods here
}

In my MainActivity I added these lines:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Inject
    ImageDownloaderApi imageDownloaderApi;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        AndroidInjection.inject(this);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }
}

Then created an Application object:

public class MyApplication extends Application {

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

Then registered the Application class via the manifest like this:

<application
    android:name=".MyApplication"

I created a module named MyApplicationModule like this:

@Module
public abstract class MyApplicationModule {
    @ContributesAndroidInjector
    abstract MainActivity contributeActivityInjector();
}

I created an interface named MyApplicationComponent:

@Component(modules = { AndroidInjectionModule.class, MyApplicationModule.class})
public interface MyApplicationComponent extends AndroidInjector<MyApplication> {
}

MyApplication class:

public class MyApplication extends Application implements HasActivityInjector {
    @Inject
    DispatchingAndroidInjector<Activity> dispatchingAndroidInjector;

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        DaggerMyApplicationComponent.create().inject(this);
    }

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

Now after this implementation when I run the app in the emulator, the app crashes with the following logs:

For additional info. I am also getting this warning line before the logs i posted above

Answer 1

Dagger 2 needs Guava so I added Guava library in my build.gradle file and problem is resolved.

Add this line in build.gradle:

 api 'com.google.guava:guava:24.1-android'
