Does anyone know if there is a an Intellij inspection or a lint rule that can mark dependencies as unused?

class SomeActivity @Inject constructor() {
    @Inject
    lateinit var notUsed: UnusedClass
}

Over the years, classes have built up with unused dagger classes @Inject properties . It’s hard to clean this up manually over an entire codebase.

Not sure what you mean by “classes have built up unused dagger classes”.If your trying to suppress a warning you can do @SuppressWarnings(“unused”)

If your just trying to find them with a static analysis tool, There are third party libraries like klint that will pick up on that

There is also a errorprone , which can give dagger optimization suggestions

error prone is for Java

[rkeazor]

ahh I see, so there is no kotlin integration for it

[jw]

it's a Java compiler

Not sure what you mean by “classes have built up unused dagger classes”.

Sorry, I’ve updated the grammar.

Interesting, even though I have used it in a codebase that had both Java and Kotlin, and it was still able to issue code improvement suggestions to the dagger modules.

@tevjef yea if lint is not working for you, just look into a 3rd party static analysis tool.
