Hello, how can I create a viewModel as in documentations using =viewModel() as default with a ViewModel with dependencies injected to it with Hilt ?

just do it normally

I tried it it gave me error saying cannot initialize viewmodel with zero arguments ?

Is your Activity annotated with @AndroidEntryPoint?

Are you within a

NavHost

created

composable

destination? Hilt has specific APIs for that in the

hilt-navigation

artifact: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/hilt#1.0.0-alpha03

I think this is the issue https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/165642391

That doesn't apply if you are using Navigation Compose, which already scopes ViewModels to your composable destination

@Ian Lake Is there is a way to create viewModel now with only extension = viewModel() and still scope to compose and provide hilt dependencies on ViewModel when using Navigation Compose?

If you use

viewModel(HiltViewModelFactory(AmbientContext.current, backStackEntry))

like that page says

Yup, i'm doing same as above, but wouldn't be better if we don't have to pass HiltViewModelFactory.

There's an upcoming

hilt-navigation-compose

artifact which will let you do `= hiltNavGraphViewModel()`: https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:hilt/hil[…]in/java/androidx/hilt/navigation/compose/NavHostController.kt

Thanks for the responses, got it working 🎉
