Dynamic feature: Unable to instantiate fragment : make sure class name exists

I'm trying to load my fragment that lives in a dynamic feature module. However, I keep getting a crash:

val f = FragmentFactory().instantiate(classLoader,
 "com.myapp.customviewdynamicfeature.CustomFragment")

supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.customFragmentContainer, f).commit()

I also tried adding this to my dynamic module's proguard

-keep class com.myapp.customviewdynamicfeature.** { *; }

I've also tried reflection:

val f = Class.forName("com.myapp.customviewdynamicfeature.CustomFragment").newInstance() as Fragment

but I get a similar error:

Solution

  • I believe I resolved this by upgrading the AndroidX fragment version to 1.5.0. https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/fragment#version_15_2
