how can I get DI in a class that should not have a constructor because its a android service that play music in background, if I add di like this

class TTSService(override val di: DI) : MediaBrowserServiceCompat(), AudioManager.OnAudioFocusChangeListener, DIAware {

then there will be an error in manifest that say

This class should provide a default constructor (a public constructor with no arguments) (ireader.domain.services.tts_service.media_player.TTSService)

is there any way to use services using kodein?

I fix this by a trick first use lateinit for di like this:

override lateinit var di: DI

then in onCreate in service I initialize it like this

override fun onCreate() {
        di = ([e-mail] as DIAware).di
        super.onCreate()

I think this is the only way to do it, since the android system calls the (empty) constructor for you.
