Hi everyone, I want to know that we can't pass

Context

in viewModel parameter as it leads to memory leak but if I have a viewModel and A repository in its constructor injection so can I inject context in repository and if yes then why it won't lead to memory leak as it does in viewModel. Thank you

why do you need context in repository ? ....honestly i would avoid passing context to non-ui layers at all costs 😄

Not only viewModel but most of it.

I need to access shared preferences in repository so how can I do this?

You can inject context to the Preference class.

Yes but if I am injecting which is using context and pref class is being used in repository and repository in viewModel so does lead to memory leak or not, I just want to know.

If you use hilt, it doesn't lead memory leak

Yes I am using hilt

I think more specifically it doesn’t lead to leaks because: 1. It’s the application context that’s being injected, not an activity context (which could leak if the activity is destroyed whilst the viewmodel lives on) 2. Dagger/Hilt manages the lifecycle of components according to the scopes used. Creating a singleton of some retrofit service built using an application context is normal and won’t lead to leaks. It’s something that is expected to live for the whole application lifecycle
