Attention: This tool is now deprecated. Please switch to Compose UI or manually pass dependencies to the legacy view system. Existing versions will also continue to work, but feature development and bug fixes have stopped.

Constructor-inject views during XML layout inflation.

Looking for Assisted Inject? It's built in to Dagger now!

Write your layout XML like normal.

<LinearLayout>
  <com.example.CustomView/>
  <TextView/>
</LinearLayout>

Use @InflationInject in CustomView:

public final class CustomView extends View {
  private final Picasso picasso;
  
  @InflationInject
  public CustomView(
    @Inflated Context context,
    @Inflated AttributeSet attrs,
    Picasso picasso
  ) {
    super(context, attrs);
    this.picasso = picasso;
  }
  
  // ...
}

In order to allow Dagger to create your custom views, add @InflationModule to a Dagger module and add the generated module name to its includes=.

@InflationModule
@Module(includes = InflationInject_PresenterModule.class)
abstract class PresenterModule {}

The annotation processor will generate the InflationInject_PresenterModule for us. It will not be resolved until the processor runs.

Finally, inject InflationInjectFactory and add it to your LayoutInflater.

InflationInjectFactory factory = DaggerMainActivity_MainComponent.create().factory();
getLayoutInflater().setFactory(factory);

setContentView(R.layout.main_view);
