A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hey <@UCQSRLA2J> - nah. It's a proper "high end" optimisation even for those Java users. I looked it up a while back and end up just doing the older style for my Kotlin modules and moved on. Be good to know if I was wrong on this point though? I think our time would be better spent turning things lazy if they need be and obvs not doing anything slow in the provisioning blocks. 

Although looking back at my code I did use a companion object :thinking_face:
...I also remember thinking that this must be redundant!

I tried few things, companion objects with @JvmStatic does help

Dagger generated code being in Java is using the static version (generated by Kotlin compiler)

and the DaggerAppComponent never creates an instance of the AppModule

It wouldn't make sense if Dagger generated code is going to be in kotlin

Ah nice! So if you are :100: Kotlin then no effect but if you have Java then it remains valid?

```
@Module
open class SyncModule {

    @Module
    companion object {
        /**
         * Provide access to the notification manager.
         *
         * @return the notification manager.
         */
        @Provides
        @JvmStatic fun providesNotificationManager(context: Context): NotificationManager {
            return context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE) as NotificationManager
        }
...
```
..snippet from one of my Kotlin modules

even if you are in Kotlin it will be fine as long as Dagger generated code is in Java

In your case, look at the generated code of the component using the SyncModule

it will be java based and will invoke providesNotificationManager as a static method on SyncModule

I see. Will do after I've made dinner - post back your findings in the main channel!

make sure to declare your SyncModule as abstract

there is really no reason to create an instance of it

Ah so that code wouldn't of had a chance either way. Facepalm. :sweat_smile:
