Question

I want to inject a singleton SqliteOpenHelper in a ContentProvider. However, it seems that the ContentProvider instance is being built bef

Answer 1

I know the question has an answer already but I post my experience hope this helps someone

I added a module named ContentProviderBuilder :

@Module
abstract class ContentProviderBuilder {

@ActivityScope
@ContributesAndroidInjector
abstract fun myCustomSuggestionProvider(): MyCustomSuggestionProvider?
}

then I added this module to my component, and extended the contentProvider from DaggerContentProvider

and you have to add super.onCreate to your cotnentProvider and that's it

this is my component:

@Singleton
@ApplicationScope
@Component(modules = [AppModule::class, AndroidSupportInjectionModule::class, 
RemoteModule::class, ContentProviderBuilder::class, ActivityBuilder::class, 
FragmentBuilder::class, ViewModelModule::class])
interface ApplicationComponent: AndroidInjector {

@Component.Builder
interface Builder {

    @BindsInstance
    fun application(application: MyApplication): Builder

    fun build(): ApplicationComponent
}

override fun inject(app: MyApplication)
}
