I have simplified my application to get the root of the problem and here is the simplified version. I\'m implementing Dagger 2 using following configuration:

    What I don't understand is ContributesAndroidInjector is already providing an instace of MainActivity why Dagger still complains about it.

    ContributesAndroidInjector in docs says:

    Generates an {@link AndroidInjector} for the return type of this method. The injector is implemented with a {@link dagger.Subcomponent} and will be a child of the {@link dagger.Module}'s component.

    So it does not provide MainActivity.

    Why do you need it actually at all? I see that you are passing it as parameter to the function:

    fun provideString(mainActivity: MainActivity)

    but do you really need it there? In general you should inject dependencies in MainActivity. MainActivity should use them. If both(MainActivity and the string) they know about each other it is first - not a good design, and second: you are close to create cyclic dependencies which Dagger 2 does not support and throws exception.

    You probably forgot to inject your application in MyApp. You should have something like this (you might need to modify it a bit to fit your AppComponent:

    DaggerAppComponent.builder()
        .application(this)
        .build()
        .inject(this)
    

    Also, Dagger is actually providing your MainActivity through your @ContributesAndroidInjector annotated method but that's not what you're injecting.

    You're injecting a string so Dagger is using your provideString method. Since this method requires a MainActivity instance to work, Dagger is looking for such a method annotated with @Provides. You don't have any and Dagger won't look at your @ContributesAndroidInjector method since it does not have any reasons to do so.

    If you want it to work, you actually have to define your provideString method in a separate module and install it inside your @ContributesAndroidInjector:

    @Module
    abstract class ActivityBindingModule {
        @ContributesAndroidInjector(modules = [StringModule::class])
        abstract fun mainActivity(): MainActivity
    }
    
    @Module
    class StringModule {
    
        @JvmStatic
        @Provides
        fun provideString(mainActivity: MainActivity): String = "Hehe"
    }
