I've got an interesting case. I don't know how to inject one of my classes (using dagger/hilt) into my composable. I'm using AAC VM + hilt + navigation etc, BUT the wrench in the whole thing is that outside of my root NavHost, I have a "global dialog" for showing things like a force update prompt, etc.

So now I basically have this really simple scenario of

Box {
NavHost
GlobalDialog
}

but my GlobalDialog needs access to a class that I typically inject into my screens. Thoughts?

You could have a ViewModel at the activity level that you pass to your dialog, and inject into the viewmodel whatever you need in the dialog, then expose the data to the dialog via a state class.
Alternatively you could create a state holder that contains whatever you need to inject, which is injected at the activity and then used to instantiate the state holder, which is passed to the dialog.

Just inject it at your activity directly? And pass it into the composable that needs it.

Injecting into my activity directly. Was curious if maybe I was missing something basic... but yeah the basic activity inject worked as expected. Thanks all for saving my sanity

Are you using the NavGraphBuilder.dialog() function?

It sets up a dialog as a navigation destination in the graph.
