Dagger 2 does not inject my Object but can be obtained from component

Question

I have my component like

@GithubListActivityScope

@Component(modules = { GithubListActivityModule.class,GlideActivityModule.class })

public interface GithubListActivityComponent {



GithubUserListAdapter githubUserListAdapter ( );

RequestManager requestManager();

LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager();



}

And I have a module like this :

@Module

public class GithubListActivityModule {

private final Activity githubListActivity;





public GithubListActivityModule ( Activity activity ) {

    this.githubListActivity = activity;



}



@Provides

@GithubListActivityScope

Activity activity ( ) {

    return this.githubListActivity;

}



@Provides

@GithubListActivityScope

public LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager(Activity activity){

    return  new LinearLayoutManager ( activity );

}

}

Problem :
I have treid to inject LinearLayout manager like this :

@GithubListActivityScope

@Inject

LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager;

While my Component is built like this :

githubListActivityComponent = DaggerGithubListActivityComponent.builder ()

            .githubListActivityModule ( new GithubListActivityModule ( this ) )

            .build ();

my Linear Layout manager does not get instantiated. But when I manually do

 linearLayoutManager = githubListActivityComponent.linearLayoutManager ();

It works fine. Where am I going wrong?

Answer 1

Everywhere that I am passing Activity , I should pass exactly the same class Name (not its parent) So once edited every parameters and return types that were "Activity" into "GithubListActivity" and then added

void inject( GithubListActivity activity);

inside the component class

then injected "GithubListActivity" like this :

DaggerGithubListActivityComponent.builder ()
            .githubListActivityModule ( new GithubListActivityModule ( this ) )
            .build ().inject ( this );

Then the codes worked for me ..

Lesson :
1. Define inject method and Inject the current Activity

2. Use exactly the same type of object (not the parent ) in this case use "GithubListActivity" instead of just activity.
