Hey guys, i am trying to receive location updates using this example https://conorsmith.dev/post/kotlin_flow_location_updates/ I found online. But I have no idea how to Provide the fusedLocationProviderClient to the viewModel, so I tried Providing this way:

@Singleton
@Provides
fun ComponentActivity.FusedLocationProvider(): FusedLocationProviderClient{
    return LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this)
}

But then I get this error:

/Users/tolusolomon/AndroidStudioProjects/Link/androidLink/build/generated/source/kapt/debug/com/example/link/android/Application_HiltComponents.java:125: error: [Dagger/MissingBinding] androidx.activity.ComponentActivity cannot be provided without an @Inject constructor or an @Provides-annotated method.

Any idea about how to provide the fusedLocationProviderClient to the ViewModel using Hilt? Thanks

Try this. This is what I use and it works for me

@Singleton
    @Provides
    fun provideFuseClient(@ApplicationContext context: Context) =
        LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(context)

I still got huge errors.. Do you have an implementation of the code?

[Solomon Tolu Samuel]

I got it to work by passing:

@ActivityContext context: Context

as a dependency the the class that used the fusedLocationProviderClient to get the activity context
