Hello everyone, I got an issue with injecting something into a data class:

data class Example @Inject constructor(
    val x: X,
    val string: String? = x.method()
)

In my dagger class I have:

@Provides
@Singleton
fun x() = X()

but whenever I want to instantiate an Example object. it asks me for x dependency which should always be injected. Is there any approach of how I can deal with this?

Since you’re generating two constructors with the default parameter on your string variable, try adding @JvmOverloads to the constructor right after @Inject so Dagger can see both constructors.

If that doesn’t work, I would move your string variable as a member variable instead of a constructor parameter.
