Question

I ve never used dagger hilt in a multi module setup Lets say I have `app` gradle module which depends on `service` And `service` inside has `SomeServiceClass` Would `service` gradle module have a Module and Provides providing the `SomeServiceClass` to `app` gradle module Or is it more customary for the `service` gradle module to declare what it provides

agrosner · Answer

Hilt enables the decoupled modules to declare what they provide in such scopes and the app module need only to include the gradle module dependencies

Interesting I see the pros and cons of that Pros like you said only the app module has to say that its using service module and things just get provided Cons you might add a module to depend on and not realize that it s providing a bunch of things Right now my app module has to feed the service module an argument so I wonder how to go about that For the most part my service module is a network layer and i want the app module to give the network module the base URL Hm

Why not just have the service module use it or have a third module level above provide it

I m not sure I guess I m just used to the app module providing some of those core compile time values api keys etc

I think I have something fairly simple setup my jvm only module is providing a ServiceClass and I m trying to inject it into my app module but it says that ServiceClass cannot be provided without an Provides annotated method public abstract static class SingletonC implements App GeneratedInjector Am I missing something basic here

In my network gradle module I have this Anyone know why this isn t working ``` Module InstallIn SingletonComponent class object MyNetworkGradleModule JvmStatic Provides fun provideCustomNameGen CustomNameGenServiceInterface return RealCustomNameGen ```

Colton Idle · Answer

If I just have `RealCustomNameGen Inject constructor ` then the injection works but the second I try to write a module with a provides method I just get the error message cannot be provided without an Provides annotated method public abstract static class SingletonC implements App GeneratedInjector Hrmmm
