I am facing one issue using dagger2 + Kotlin This is my ModuleClass

object AppModule {

    @JvmStatic
    @Provides
    fun provideRequestOptions() = RequestOptions.placeholderOf(R.drawable.white_background)
            .error(R.drawable.white_background)

    @JvmStatic
    @Provides
    fun provideGlideInstance(application: Application, requestOptions: RequestOptions) =
            Glide.with(application).setDefaultRequestOptions(requestOptions)

    @JvmStatic
    @Provides
    fun provideAppDrawable(application: Application) =
            ContextCompat.getDrawable(application, R.drawable.logo)
}

In my Activity I am using 2 injects

@Inject
    lateinit var drawableLogo: Drawable

    @Inject
    lateinit var requestManager: RequestManager

    fun setLogo() = requestManager.load(drawableLogo).into(loginLogo)

I am getting below error:-

/app/build/tmp/kapt3/stubs/debug/com/example/di/AppComponent.java:7: error: [Dagger/Nullable] android.graphics.drawable.Drawable is not nullable, but is being provided by @org.jetbrains.annotations.Nullable @Provides android.graphics.drawable.Drawable com.example.di.AppModule.provideAppDrawable(android.app.Application)

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

I think this issue is somehow related to

@Nullable

annotation used by the IDE but I am not sure about the exact issue, can somebody explain about this issue?

You’re providing a drawable which is nullable ( ContextCompat.getDrawable returns Drawable? type ) but expecting a non-nullable injection in your field. Try to use non-nullable return type in module or mark your drawableLogo as nullable.

Tip: Always explicitly specify the return type of provides methods. Saves you a lot of unnecessary stress 😄

thx @Melih Aksoy, apparently I ran into another problem after changing

Drawble

to

Drawable?

, as

lateinit

can’t be used with nullable types.

@Inject
lateinit var drawableLogo: Drawable? = null

then I needed to change

lateinit

to something like

internal

but then it gave another error “Dagger doesn’t support injection into private fields. then finally I used something like

@set:Inject
internal var drawableLogo: Drawable? = null

but I don’t understand how this is working 😐
