Dagger 2 returns null after injection - android

I am trying to make an injection using Dagger 2, but it always returns null. I think I am doing all right, but anyway it does not work.
Here is the application class:
public class ApplicationSA extends Application {
private static AppComponent appComponent;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
appComponent = DaggerAppComponent.create();
}
public static AppComponent getComponent() {
return appComponent;
}
}
The component interface:
#Component(modules = {
SnoreDetectorClass.class,
AudioRecorderClass.class
})
public interface AppComponent {
void injectsMainFunctionalityActivity(Activity activity);
}
An the main class where I am trying to get the object:
public class MainFunctionalityActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Inject
AudioRecorderClass audioRecorderClass;
#Inject
SnoreDetectorClass snoreDetectorClass;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
ApplicationSA.getComponent().injectsMainFunctionalityActivity(this);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Log.d("TESTING","audioRecorderClass= "+audioRecorderClass); // always null
Log.d("TESTING","snoreDetectorClass= "+snoreDetectorClass); // always null
...
}
And here are the module classes:
#Module
public class AudioRecorderClass {
public interface AudioRecorderInterface {
void AudioRecorder_hasUpdate(double amplitude_in_dB);
}
public AudioRecorderInterface delegate = null;
#Provides
AudioRecorderClass provideAudioRecorderClass(Activity activity) {
delegate = (AudioRecorderInterface)activity;
return new AudioRecorderClass();
}
...
#Module
public class SnoreDetectorClass {
#Provides
SnoreDetectorClass provideSnoreDetectorClass() {
return new SnoreDetectorClass();
}
...
What am I doing wrong ? Why the objects are always null ?

Ah, I see what is going on here. You cannot inject into a subclass. So in your AppComponent you cannot have
void injectsMainFunctionalityActivity(Activity activity);
you must inject with
void injectsMainFunctionalityActivity(MainFunctionalityActivity activity);
As a side note I would suggest not combining your injector and your model class. Better to have separation of concerns. Keep them separate

You have to specifically tell dagger which activity will be injected here, not use the super class Activity but rather your own implementation of the Activity class :
void injectsMainFunctionalityActivity(Activity activity);
change to:
void injectsMainFunctionalityActivity(MainFunctionalityActivity activity);

Using Dagger and Robolectric with test application

I am using MVP pattern with a Fragment(GalleryFragment), where Application class(MainApplication) sources MainActivityRepository and GalleryFragmentPresenter(grouped as DIModules) which are provided to Fragment through field injection.
To test GalleryFragment in isolation, my idea was to use Robolectric configuration(#Config) to replace MainApplication entirely with a custom TestApplication sourcing mockDIModules.
GalleryFragmentTest runs until startFragment(galleryFragment) but I get a NullPointerException at MainApplication.getComponent().inject(this); inside GalleryFragment.
I suspect this is because this line specifically uses MainApplication while everything else is dealt with TestApplication set by Robolectric #Config, but I'm not sure and I am looking for advice on how to successfully run tests using this custom TestApplication.
While searching for possible solutions, I found out about using AndroidInjector from Dagger support library, which will get rid of MainApplication.getComponent().inject(this); entirely but would this work?
https://android.jlelse.eu/android-and-dagger-2-10-androidinjector-5e9c523679a3
GalleryFragment.java
public class GalleryFragment extends Fragment {
#Inject
public MainActivityRepository mRepository;
#Inject
public GalleryFragmentPresenter mGalleryFragmentPresenter;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
MainApplication.getComponent().inject(this); //NullPointerException here
mGalleryFragmentPresenter.initialize(mRepository, value);
}
}
DIModules.java
#Module
public class DIModules {
#Provides
public GalleryFragmentPresenter provideGalleryFragmentPresenter(){
return new GalleryFragmentPresenter();
}
#Provides
#Singleton
public MainActivityRepository provideMainActivityRepository(){
return new MainActivityRepository();
}
}
AppComponent.java
#Singleton
#Component(modules = DIModules.class)
public interface AppComponent {
void inject(GalleryFragment galleryFragment);
}
MainApplication.java
public class MainApplication extends Application {
public static AppComponent component;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Realm.init(this);
component = buildComponent();
}
public static AppComponent getComponent() {
return component;
}
protected AppComponent buildComponent(){
return DaggerAppComponent
.builder()
.dIModules(new DIModules())
.build();
}
}
TestApplication.java
public class TestApplication extends Application {
public static AppComponent component;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
component = buildComponent();
}
public static AppComponent getComponent() {
return component;
}
protected AppComponent buildComponent(){
return DaggerAppComponent.builder()
.dIModules(new mockDIModules())
.build();
}
}
GalleryFragmentTest.java
#RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
#Config(constants = BuildConfig.class,
application = TestApplication.class)
public class GalleryFragmentTest {
#Test
public void allItemTabTest() throws Exception {
GalleryFragment galleryFragment = GalleryFragment.newInstance(value);
startFragment(galleryFragment);
assertNotNull(galleryFragment);
}
}
I am using dagger, dagger-android-support, dagger-compiler version 2.14.1 and robolectric:3.6.1
Of course, it is null. Your fragment still tries to work with production application while you're doing things in the test application.
Change your injection code to next:
((MainApplication) getContext().getApplicationContext()).getComponent().inject(this);
And also make the method in your Application getComponent() as not static, so test app overrides it.
Another option is to change your TestApplication to next:
public class TestApplication extends Application {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
buildComponent();
}
private void buildComponent(){
Application.component = DaggerAppComponent.builder()
.dIModules(new mockDIModules())
.build();
}
}

Android Dagger2 Dependency Injection

I'm new to Dagger2 and I'm trying to use dependency injection in my application.
I'm using shared preferences and thought it will be more helpful to use dependency injection instead of getting an instance of shared prefrences each time I need to use it.
It works fine when I'm using it on activities and fragments but when I'm trying to use it on service or intentservice it doesn't work.
Here is my code:
AppModule:
#Module
public class AppModule
{
public final ApplicationClass application;
public AppModule(ApplicationClass application)
{
this.application = application;
}
#Provides #Singleton
Context providesApplicationContext()
{
return this.application;
}
#Provides #Singleton
SharedPreferences providesSharedPreferences()
{
return application.getSharedPreferences(Constants.FILE_NAME,Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
}
}
AppComponent
#Singleton #Component(modules = {AppModule.class})
public interface AppComponent
{
void inject (ApplicationClass applicationClass);
void inject (IntentService intentService);
void inject (Service service);
}
ApplicationClass
public class ApplicationClass extends Application
{
AppComponent appComponent;
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new
Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler() {
#Override
public void uncaughtException(Thread t, Throwable e) {
onUncaughtException(t, e);
}
});
appComponent = DaggerAppComponent
.builder()
.appModule(new AppModule(this))
.build();
appComponent.inject(this);
}
public AppComponent getAppComponent()
{
return this.appComponent;
}
private void onUncaughtException(Thread t, Throwable e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
Intent crash= new Intent(getApplicationContext(),Crash.class);
about.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(crash);
}
}
So I tried to inject the shared preferences in IntentService and I used these lines of code
inside the onCreate method of the my service (intentservice)
#Inject
SharedPreferences preferences;
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
((ApplicationClass)getApplication()).getAppComponent().inject(this);
}
But the problem is when I use this preferences variable in the onHandleIntent method, the application is crashing because the preferences is null..
So why it doesn't inject?
For anyone who encountered this problem.
As Vadim Korzun and EpicPandaForce mentioned in their comments above,
I should specify the specific class in the inject method.
So in my case my IntentService class was named GeofenceService
and inside the AppComponent interface I should write
void inject (GeofenceService service);
Same thing for Service
UPDATE:
So for all the people who have multiple Services that inherit from IntentService and want to save themselves from writing inject method for each Specific service.
I would suggest to do the steps below:
Create BasicIntentService that extends IntentService
In your AppComponent interface add the inject method which take as parameter you BasicIntentService.
In your BasicIntentSerive, you will have a protected SharedPrefrences variable annotated with the Inject annotation.
Still, in your BasicIntentService, inside the onCreate method you will call this line of code
((ApplicationClass)getApplication()).getAppComponent().inject(this);
Now each IntentService that you will create will extends the BasicIntentService and you will be able to use the SharedPreferences variable.
AppComponent:
#Singleton #Component(modules = {AppModule.class})
public interface AppComponent
{
void inject (YourApplicationClass applicationClass);
void inject (BasicIntentService intentService);
}
BasicIntentService
public class BasicIntentService extends IntentService
{
#Inject
protected SharedPreferences sharedPreferences;
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate()
((YourApplicationClass)getApplication()).getAppComponenet().inject(this);
}
}
SomeIntentService
public class SomeIntentService extends BasicIntentService
{
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
}
-----------
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(#Nullable Intent intent)
{
// some code
if (sharedPreferences.contains(someKey))
{
// some code
}
else
{
// some code
}
}
}

Dagger2 - "Unused" Modules in Generated Component Class

My Dagger2 Component class contains 3 modules which I'm trying to use to inject field dependencies into an Android Activity class. The generated Component file has comments saying all the modules are unused, linking this page for more info.
My Activity class is calling the Component's inject(Activity) method and has fields annotated for injection that are provided by the modules, so I am not sure why the generated Component file does not have any Providers to do this injection.
My code is below, thanks for the help!
Generated Component Class:
public final class DaggerMainComponent implements MainComponent {
private DaggerMainComponent(Builder builder) {
assert builder != null;
}
public static Builder builder() {
return new Builder();
}
public static MainComponent create() {
return builder().build();
}
#Override
public void inject(Activity activity) {
MembersInjectors.<Activity>noOp().injectMembers(activity);
}
public static final class Builder {
private Builder() {}
public MainComponent build() {
return new DaggerMainComponent(this);
}

Non-Generated Component Class:

public interface MainComponent {
void inject(Activity activity);
}
Module Classes:
Is there any issue with having one module provide an object with a dependency on another object provided by another module belonging to the same Component?
#Module
public class DaoModule {
private DatabaseHelper databaseHelper;
public DaoModule(DatabaseHelper databaseHelper){
this.databaseHelper = databaseHelper;
}

return databaseHelper.getPlayerDao();
}

} catch (SQLException e) {

}
}
#Module

return new GameResultListener(gameResultRepository);
}
}

public class AppStart extends Application {
private MainComponent mainComponent;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
DatabaseHelper databaseHelper = new DatabaseHelper(getApplicationContext());
mainComponent = DaggerMainComponent.builder()
.daoModule(new DaoModule(databaseHelper))
.build();
}
public MainComponent getMainComponent(){
return mainComponent;
}
}
Activity Class:
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
#Inject GameResultListener gameResultListener;
#Inject Dao<Player,Integer> dao;
#Inject IGameResultRepository repository;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle state) {
super.onCreate(state);
((AppStart)this.getApplication()).getMainComponent().inject(this);
Question 1: Why are my modules being marked as "unused"?
You have not supplied the correct injection site! As it stands, your component interface is one with the sole injection site of android.app.Activity. Since android.app.Activity has no #Inject annotations on its fields then you get a no-op members injector. Similarly, your modules are marked as unused because none of them are actually being used as sources of dependencies for android.app.Activity. To fix this, in your component change:
void inject(Activity activity);
to:
void inject(MyActivity myActivity);
Question 2:
Is there any issue with having one module provide an object with a dependency on another object provided by another module belonging to the same Component?
No, this is perfectly fine. To illustrate, let's take a simple object graph:
public class Foo {
public Foo(FooDependency fooDependency) {}
}
public class FooDependency {
FooDependency(String name) {}
}
We want to inject it inside the following class using Dagger:
public class FooConsumer {
#Inject Foo foo;
private FooConsumer() {}
}
We would like to reuse a module binding FooDependency so we'll write two separate modules:
#Module
public class FooModule {
#Provides
Foo foo(FooDependency fooDependency) {
return new Foo(fooDependency);
}
}
#Module
public class FooDependencyModule {
#Provides
FooDependency fooDependency() {
return new FooDependency("name");
}
}
And the following component interface:
#Component(modules = {FooModule.class, FooDependencyModule.class})
public interface FooComponent {
void inject(FooConsumer fooConsumer);
}
The generated component DaggerFooComponent contains the following code that will correctly use the FooDependency from the separate module FooDependencyModule to inject Foo:
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
private void initialize(final Builder builder) {
this.fooDependencyProvider =
FooDependencyModule_FooDependencyFactory.create(builder.fooDependencyModule);
this.fooProvider = FooModule_FooFactory.create(builder.fooModule, fooDependencyProvider);
this.fooConsumerMembersInjector = FooConsumer_MembersInjector.create(fooProvider);
}

Dagger 2 base class injections

In Dagger 1 I had a base class setup such that it would handle creating a scoped graph and injecting dependencies into the current object. For example...
public abstract class MyBaseActivity extends Activity {
private ObjectGraph graph;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
graph = ((MyApp) getApplication()).plus(getModules());
graph.inject(this);
}
protected Object[] getModules();
}
public class MyClass extends MyBaseActivity {
#Inject SomeDep someDep;
#Override
protected Object[] getModules() {
return new Object[/* Contains a module that provides SomeDep */];
}
}
This allowed for each subclass to supplement their own set of modules in addition to a standard application module.
After playing around with Dagger 2, it doesn't seem possible to handle a similar scenario...
public abstract class MyBaseActivity extends Activity {
private MyBaseActivityComponent component;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
component = ((MyApp) getApplication()).component().plus(/* Can not accept an array */);
component.inject(this);
}
}
I worked around the above by modifying MyBaseActivityComponent such that it would list all possible modules it may use...
#Subcomponent(modules = {
Module1.class,
Module2.class
})
public interface MyBaseActivityComponent {
public void inject(MyBaseActivity activity);
}
So now I can do something like this...
public abstract class MyBaseActivity extends Activity {
private MyBaseActivityComponent component;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
component = ((MyApp) getApplication()).component().plus(new Module1(), new Module2());
component.inject(this);
}
}
But now I have a problem where the injection will inject dependencies for MyBaseActivity but not it's subclasses. Suggestions?
Theoretically, you can do it like this.
1.) Specify a child scope
#Scope
#Retention(RUNTIME)
public #interface PerActivity {
}
2.) Specify the parent component
#Singleton
#Component(modules={Module1.class, Module2.class)
public interface MyApplicationComponent {
Dependency1 providesDependency1();
Dependency2 providesDependency2();
}
3.) Specify the child component
#PerActivity
#Component(dependencies={MyApplicationComponent.class}, modules={Module3.class})
public interface MyBaseActivityComponent extends MyApplicationComponent {
void inject(BaseActivity baseActivity);
Dependency3 providesDependency3();
}
4.) Create your module
#Module
public class Module3 {
#Provides
#PerActivity
public Dependency3 providesDependency3() {
return new Dependency3();
}
}
5.) Create Activity-level scoped component
public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private MyBaseActivityComponent baseComponent;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle saveState) {
super.onCreate(saveState);
baseComponent = DaggerBaseActivityComponent.builder()
.applicationComponent(((MyApp)getApplication()).component())
.build();
}
public MyBaseActivityComponent baseComponent() {
return baseComponent;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
component = null;
super.onDestroy();
}
}
Please reply if it worked, previously I forgot to specify the dependencies in my Component and got compile errors, but it should work like this.
Also, if you need to specify a subcomponent for each Activity, then you can just specify the dependencies with provision methods in the BaseActivityComponent component...
#PerActivity
#Component(dependencies={MyBaseActivityComponent.class}, modules={Module4.class})
public interface MyActivityComponent extends MyBaseActivityComponent {
public void inject(MyActivity myActivity);
Dependency4 providesDependency4();
}
#Module
public class Module4 {
#PerActivity
#Provides
public Dependency4 providesDependency4(Dependency3 dependency3) {
return new Dependency4(dependency3);
}
}
public class MyActivity extends MyBaseActivity {
private MyActivityComponent component;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle saveInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(saveInstanceState);
component = DaggerMyActivityComponent.builder()
.applicationComponent(((MyApp)getApplication()).component())
.myBaseActivityComponent(baseComponent())
.build();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
component = null;
super.onDestroy();
}
}
EDIT: #Subcomponent works to replace component dependencies with subcomponent factory methods according to the docs only if you use the following pattern (aka, embedding the subcomponent within the parent component using a provision/factory method definition):
#Singleton #Component
interface ApplicationComponent {
// component methods...
RequestComponent newRequestComponent(RequestModule requestModule);
}
Where
#Subcomponent(modules={RequestModule.class})
interface RequestComponent {
RequestSomething requestSomething();
}

Unable to inject class with Dagger 2

I am attempting to add Dagger 2 to my Android Project. I think I understand the concepts up to the point of where I build the graph. At that point I'm shooting in the dark and that is where I'm going wrong.
Everything compiles, but the injected field is null at Runtime.
I am attempting to start simply by injecting the Presenter into my MainActivity. I have written the following code and would appreciate some help figuring out where I have gone wrong.
My PresenterModule.java:
#Module
public class PresenterModule {
#Provides MainActivityPresenter providesMainActivityPresenter() {
return new DefaultMainActivityPresenter();
}
}
My Application class which also includes my Component following the Dagger2 example code:
public class App extends Application {
private PresenterComponent component;
#Singleton
#Component(modules = PresenterModule.class)
public interface PresenterComponent {
void inject(App app);
void inject(MainActivity activity);
}
#Override public void onCreate() {
Log.d("App.java", "Starting Application");
super.onCreate();
component = DaggerApp_PresenterComponent.builder()
.presenterModule(new PresenterModule())
.build();
component.inject(this);
}
public PresenterComponent component() {
return component;
}
}
And finally my MainActivity.
public class DefaultMainActivity
extends ActionBarActivity
implements MainActivity
{
#Inject MainActivityPresenter mPresenter;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
((App)getApplication()).component().inject(this);
mPresenter.getCurrentDetailLineNumber();
setContentView(R.layout.base_layout);
getSupportActionBar();
mContainer = (Container) findViewById(R.id.container);
mPresenter.requestCurrentScreen();
}
The actual object to be injected is an implementation of an interface but is other wise a POJO object:
public class DefaultMainActivityPresenter implements MainActivityPresenter {
private static final int SCREEN_BROWSER = 0;
private static final int SCREEN_DETAIL = 1;
LineNumber mCurrentDetailLineNumber;
int mCurrentScreen;
#Inject
public DefaultMainActivityPresenter() {
}
...
}
Changing PresenterComponent to following will fix your problem:
#Singleton
#Component(modules = PresenterModule.class)
public interface PresenterComponent {
void inject(App app);
void inject(DefaultMainActivity activity);
}
This is due to covariance:
While a members-injection method for a type will accept instances of its subtypes, only Inject-annotated members of the parameter type and its supertypes will be injected; members of subtypes will not. For example, given the following types, only a and b will be injected into an instance of Child when it is passed to the members-injection method injectSelf(Self instance):
class Parent {
#Inject A a;
}
class Self extends Parent {
#Inject B b;
}
class Child extends Self {
#Inject C c;
}
