AndroidAnnotations and Dagger

Question

I'm trying to use Dagger to inject into an android Annotated Activity.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No inject registered for members/com.app.server.AddServerActivity_. You must explicitly add it to the 'injects' option in one of your modules.

If I try and Add the com.app.server.AddServerActivity_ to the module I get a diffrent error

Edit: ok, it seems to be a known issue with how dagger deals with classes generated by other processors.

Now you can use Dagger in the latest SNAPSHOT of AndroidAnnotations, we copy all annotations to the generated classes. – Twi

I seem to be unable to find the latest snapshot on maven.org or via google search. Could you point it out to me of where I can get that snapshot build? – Waldos

@Waldos here. But we already released a stable version with that copy feature. – Twi

Answer 1

I suggest you use Dagger2, whose usage seems more "natural".

Answer 2

This issue was fixed as of commit 709a48b of Dagger.

Collaborator cgruber commented Nov 13, 2013

This has been validated in two places, so I'm closing this issue.

Still, using Dagger2, which is a joint effort of google and square, seems a good idea.
