I have an

:app

module and then a

network

module. I want the network module to expose services like BooksService and LibraryService. Those two services require a OkHttpClient. I can also add a provider for the http client, but then okhttpClient provider is exposed to the app. Anyway to hide that "internal" dependency with dagger?

networkModule's provider declaration:

@Provides
fun provideBooksService(okHttpClient: OkHttpClient): BooksService {
  return NetworkBackedBooksService(okHttpClient)
}

@Provides
fun provideLibraryService(okHttpClient: OkHttpClient): LibraryService {
  return NetworkBackedLibraryService(okHttpClient)
}

@Provides
fun providesHttpClient(): OkHttpClient {
  return //...
}

Would something like what’s described here work for you? https://www.zacsweers.dev/dagger-party-tricks-private-dependencies/

i just opened the link and the first example pretty much looks like what id want. CHEERS!

If I remember correctly you can just use internal fun + @PublishedApi

oh. I'll try that as well just out of curiosity and report back. 😄
