I have created a brand new Android application and...

# kodein

[Joe]

I have created a brand new Android application and am trying to add Kodein, but the moment I add it an Activity, I get a weird (and unhelpful) exception when building.

My activity:

class MainActivity() : AppCompatActivity(), DIAware {
    override val di by di()
    
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

    }
}

My application:

class PromptsApplication: Application(), DIAware  {
    override val di by DI.lazy { }
}

The exception:

What is the import for the ‘di()’ function in your activity ?

[Joe]

The Kodein imports look like this:

import org.kodein.di.DI
import org.kodein.di.DIAware

[romainbsl]

you don’t have any import org.kodein.di.android.di? by di() is part of a specific gradle module.

Thanks, that was the issue! Not sure why auto complete didn’t work correctly, but I will keep an eye on it in the future.

to avoid this you can use closestDI() function, it’s the same, it just prevents from this issue.
