How to create an android library with kodein?

1 - I want to pass the app context to the library builder and init kodein from there.
2- The application class in sample knows nothing about kodein.

How I can achieve this?

Can you be more specific ?

My library project doesn’t have a Application class.
I created a builder to pass the app context to my library like:

class MyLibrarySdk private constructor(
    context: Context
) : KodeinAware {

    override val kodein: Kodein = Kodein.lazy {
        // my bindings
    }.on(context.applicationContext)

    class Builder(private val context: Context) {

        fun build(): MyLibrarySdk {
            return MyLibrarySdk(context).also {
                sdk = it
            }
        }

    }

    companion object {
        lateinit var sdk: MyLibrarySdk

        fun init(context: Context) {
            context.startActivity(MyActivity.createIntent(context))
        }
    }

}

And a base activity to reference Kodein:

class BaseActivity: AppCompatActivity(), KodeinAware {
    override val kodein = Kodein.lazy {
        extend(MyLibrarySdk.sdk.kodein)
    }
}

This is working for now, but is this right?

Yep ;)
