How to use context in viewmodel with Hilt on Android

In my application I used MVVM and I have ViewModel, but I want access context into viewModel.
I write below codes into ViewModel : 

@HiltViewModel
class SimpleViewModel @Inject constructor(
    private val repository: SimpleRepository, @ApplicationContext val context: Context
) : ViewModel() {

But show me warning in context and show me this message : This field leaks a context object

Wha is the best way for access context into viewmodel?

Solution

  • As said here in this answer, when using @ApplicationContext there will be no leak, since the context will always outlive the View Model instance and this is just a false positive warning that you can even confirm doesn't happen by using the memory profiler.

    You can ignore the warning by adding @SuppressLint("StaticFieldLeak") to your View Model class.
