Is there a way to bind a dependency twice? Once in SingletonComponent, once in ActivityComponent? In my use case I have two instances of a dependency: once in an Activity and once in a Service. The dependency itself depends on a

Context

, so I want to use the Activity context where possible. I suppose I could accomplish this binding with annotations, but I was wondering if there was another way.

You can use assisted inject for this and have the context as assisted dependency

IMO appropriate way to provide the same dependency twice in different scopes is to use qualifiers. Otherwise how would you decide which one to inject, if both are available?

Thanks for responding. In the end, because I needed one in an Activity and one in a Service, I put one in ActivityComponent and the other in ServiceComponent, so there was no collision.
