i am struggling to use hilt with navigation-compose library. can anyone suggest any documentation or sample?

actually i didn't found any documentation.

Considering you get the NavBackStackEntry as an argument of the composable { route (and it gets set as the local ViewModelStoreOwner) , it should be as simple as injecting the HiltViewModelFactory into the Activity, and then using = viewModel( hiltviewmodelfactory)

[zhuinden]

Or at least I think that should theoretically work

@zhuinden from which package i can get hiltviewmodelfactory

[zhuinden]

seems to be dagger.hilt.android.lifecycle.HiltViewModelFactory

[zoha131]

I found this viewModel(HiltViewModelFactory(AmbientContext.current, backStackEntry)) from release note. But unable to find any ``HiltViewModelFactory` that takes backStackEntry as constructor parameter.

Sounds like you've imported the wrong HiltViewModelFactory - don't import the internal one

[Ian Lake]

It is the androidx.hilt.navigation one that you want: https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/hilt/navigation/package-summary#hiltviewmodelfactory

Should be even easier next week: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1614619457323100?thread_ts=1614601227.289300&cid=CJLTWPH7S
