In Hilt is there a way to have a dependency scoped to

@ActivityRetainedScoped

but have a value injected to it from the

Activity

. I need the depedency to survive device rotation but the problem is it also needs a value taken from the `Activity`'s bundle. Any advise on how to work around this?

How about injection via setter?

Do you mean,

@Inject
lateinit var myObject: MyObject

...

myObject.setValue(someValueFromBundle)

??

yep

the problem is that the inject value from the activity bundle should only work as the initial value... overtime that value would change.. now if the activity gets recreated because of device rotation... it value would be reset to the initial value from the bundle

for viewmodel inject, it works as you want it. For setter injection, it’s just a matter of checking for

savedInstanceState == null

I guess I will need to restructure the project to make this work. use

ViewModel

to hold the states instead of just a scoped object. making

ViewModel

hold states is probably the correct way anyway.

ActivityRetainedComponent is meant specifically for ViewModel

Anyway thanks for the inputs i really appreacite it

no problem
