I am using Anvil and I have a class with no arg constructor and which doesnt extend any interface and I'm tempted to add it with

@ContributesBinding(...)

, but this requires that target class extends some interface. Is it wrong to wish this? It just looks simpler than writing a boring provide with

MyClass()

in the Module.

You don't need to create a provide method. Just add an

@Inject

annotation to your empty constructor.

class MyClass @Inject constructor() {}

awesome. I faintly remembered something like this could work, but wasn't sure. It has been quite some time since I last used Dagger 🙂

That sample doesn’t work. You can only use

@ContributesTo

for Dagger modules and component interfaces, but not classes with an

@Inject

constructor.

Thanks @ralf I removed the wrong annotation, that's what I get for writing sudo code on my phone after just waking up 😅
