hey hey!

I'm trying to inject the SharedPreferences from the androidCoreModule but i'm getting this error. Do you know why?

org.kodein.di.Kodein$NotFoundException: No binding found for bind<SharedPreferences>() with ? { ? }
    Available bindings for this type:
            module ⁣androidModule {
                bind<SharedPreferences>() with contexted<Context>().provider { SharedPreferences }
                bind<SharedPreferences>() with contexted<Context>().factory { String -> SharedPreferences }
            }

Hey. How did you try to inject the SharedPreferences item ? Did you set up a context to do so ?

[hamutarto]

I did not setup any binding for context in the app

[hamutarto]

I used

import(androidCoreModule(this@MainApplication))

[hamutarto]

as far as I know it contains both of them

[romainbsl]

Yes, but as far as I understand how the Android modules are working, you might inject your SharedPreferences with a context

[romainbsl]

or even, define a context in your class by overriding the kodeinContext if you are in a KodeinAware class:

override val kodeinContext = kcontext(androidContext) 
`

[romainbsl]

see documentation https://kodein.org/Kodein-DI/?6.2/android#_android_module

[romainbsl]

in the module code we can see that the SharedPrefenreces are bind from an Android Context https://github.com/Kodein-Framework/Kodein-DI/blob/6.2/framework/android/kodein-di-framework-android-core/src/main/java/org/kodein/di/android/module.kt#L87

[romainbsl]

as the Android documentation says a context can be a lot of things https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context

AbstractInputMethodService, AccessibilityService, AccountAuthenticatorActivity, Activity, ActivityGroup, AliasActivity, Application, AutofillService, BackupAgent, BackupAgentHelper, CallRedirectionService, CallScreeningService, CameraPrewarmService, CarrierMessagingClientService, CarrierMessagingService, and 44 others.

[romainbsl]

so by injecting with a context you might get the right SharedPreferences https://kodein.org/Kodein-DI/?6.2/core#_defining_context

[hamutarto]

hmm that is strange, in my previous model it worked like a charm with the same declaration

[hamutarto]

can you show me a correct example for prividing Context? as it is not something that I create at bind time

[romainbsl]

I'm no Android developer, I'm just guessing solution to your problem by reading the documentation so far. do you have a repo to show us the code ?

[romainbsl]

here you can see the overriding of a kodeinContext https://github.com/Kodein-Framework/Kodein-DI/blob/master/demo/demo-android/src/main/java/kodein/di/demo/MainActivity.kt#L16
