Did something change in alpha07 for ViewModel and hilt usage?
In an AndroidEntrypoint annotated activity, I'm now getting has no zero argument constructor when using the viewModel() composable to retrieve an instance
(the ViewModel's constructor does have the ViewModelInject annotation)

Seems like NavBackStackEntry is overriding the

ViewModelStoreOwnerAmbient

value, thus bypassing the hilt factory

See the previous thread about this: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1604241939140400?thread_ts=1604241939.140400&cid=CJLTWPH7S

Feels cumbersome having to pass the defaultViewModelProviderFactory everywhere, I guess I just have to create a ViewModelFactoryAmbient

Anyway thanks for the help!

You'll definitely want to read that whole thread as Hilt definitely has some issued they're working through on their side when it comes to scoping their ViewModels correctly to anything other than an activity/fragment

Indeed, very interesting and informative thread, will find a way around until the issue is fixed.
Thanks again
