Different @Singleton & static @Provides in dagger2

Question

May I know the different between @Singleton VS static Provides in dagger2?

@Provides static User currentUser(AuthManager authMa         


        

Answer 1

With @Singleton annotation only one instance of User object will be created throughout the application lifecycle.

static on @Provides methods introduced recently to make the invocation of method faster by 15 to 20% as mentioned here. There will be multiple instances of User object if we call this method multiple times.
