Is there a way to access the Fragment args when using Hilt? I tried something like this:

@InstallIn(FragmentComponent::class)
@Module
object MyFragmentModule {

    @Provides
    @FragmentScope
    internal fun providesViewModel(
        fragment: MyFragment,
        anotherDependency: Dependency
    ) = MyViewModel(
        fragment.requireArguments().getString("argument"),
        anotherDependency
    )
}

@AndroidEntryPoint
class MyFragment : Fragment() {
    // ...
}

However, this does not appear to work as it shows the following error when building:

error: [Dagger/MissingBinding] com.myapp.MyFragment cannot be provided without an @Inject constructor or an @Provides-annotated method. This type supports members injection but cannot be implicitly provided.

Am I doing something wrong? This worked fine without Hilt when using Dagger Android.

Have you tried replacing

MyFragment

with a mere

Fragment

?

That works but it would be much better if I can just access MyFragment so I only need to retrieve the fragment args once (in MyFragment onCreate)

Then I'm afraid that you'll have to create a custom component for that and do your own

@BindsInstance

for your custom Fragment type. https://dagger.dev/hilt/custom-components

In that case it’s probably easier to move the args retrieval to the Dagger module. Thanks for the help.

or perhaps you can add a provisioning method from a

Fragment

to your

MyFragment

Ok, I’ll look into it, thanks!

Yeah that would absolutely work

you are doing that provides +

@ViewModelInject

?

No, I cannot use

@ViewModelInject

as I need to pass Fragment args to the view model.
