Unauthorized Link for Dagger 2 in Kotlin

Question

I am trying to use Dagger 2 in my Android project, where I code in Kotlin. I gave an example from the Dagger 2 repo android-simple . I was able to correctly configure the project in Android Studio using the example from dagger-android-gradle -sample , it contains correctly configured gradle files.

Now I started changing java classes to kotlin. This is what auto-convert DemoApplication.java looks like in kotlin:

 public class DemoApplication : Application() { Singleton Component(modules = array(javaClass<AndroidModule>())) trait ApplicationComponent { public fun inject(application: DemoApplication) public fun inject(homeActivity: HomeActivity) public fun inject(demoActivity: DemoActivity) } public var component: ApplicationComponent? = null override fun onCreate() { super.onCreate() component = `Dagger_DemoApplication$ApplicationComponent`.builder().androidModule(AndroidModule(this)).build() component!!.inject(this) } } 

Classes generated by the dagger are visible in Kotlin, but he complains about the sign ($) used in the class name. ($) in Kotlin has a special purpose, so I think why. You may notice that automatic conversion wrapped the class name with a () sign, so the editor does not complain about it. Unfortunately, the compiler does not work with:

 Error:(32, 21) Unresolved reference: `Dagger_DemoApplication$ApplicationComponent` :app:compileDebugKotlin FAILED 

There is also an exception if I try to build it from a terminal:

 org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugKotlin'. at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.ExecuteActionsTaskExecuter.executeActions(ExecuteActionsTaskExecuter.java:69) at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.ExecuteActionsTaskExecuter.execute(ExecuteActionsTaskExecuter.java:46) at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.PostExecutionAnalysisTaskExecuter.execute(PostExecutionAnalysisTaskExecuter.java:35) at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.SkipUpToDateTaskExecuter.execute(SkipUpToDateTaskExecuter.java:64) at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.ValidatingTaskExecuter.execute(ValidatingTaskExecuter.java:58) at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.SkipEmptySourceFilesTaskExecuter.execute(SkipEmptySourceFilesTaskExecuter.java:42) at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.SkipTaskWithNoActionsExecuter.execute(SkipTaskWithNoActionsExecuter.java:52) at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.SkipOnlyIfTaskExecuter.execute(SkipOnlyIfTaskExecuter.java:53) at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.ExecuteAtMostOnceTaskExecuter.execute(ExecuteAtMostOnceTaskExecuter.java:43) at org.gradle.api.internal.AbstractTask.executeWithoutThrowingTaskFailure(AbstractTask.java:305) at org.gradle.execution.taskgraph.AbstractTaskPlanExecutor$TaskExecutorWorker.executeTask(AbstractTaskPlanExecutor.java:79) at org.gradle.execution.taskgraph.AbstractTaskPlanExecutor$TaskExecutorWorker.processTask(AbstractTaskPlanExecutor.java:63) at org.gradle.execution.taskgraph.AbstractTaskPlanExecutor$TaskExecutorWorker.run(AbstractTaskPlanExecutor.java:51) at org.gradle.execution.taskgraph.DefaultTaskPlanExecutor.process(DefaultTaskPlanExecutor.java:23) at org.gradle.execution.taskgraph.DefaultTaskGraphExecuter.execute(DefaultTaskGraphExecuter.java:88) at org.gradle.execution.SelectedTaskExecutionAction.execute(SelectedTaskExecutionAction.java:29) at org.gradle.execution.DefaultBuildExecuter.execute(DefaultBuildExecuter.java:62) at org.gradle.execution.DefaultBuildExecuter.access$200(DefaultBuildExecuter.java:23) at org.gradle.execution.DefaultBuildExecuter$2.proceed(DefaultBuildExecuter.java:68) at org.gradle.execution.DryRunBuildExecutionAction.execute(DryRunBuildExecutionAction.java:32) at org.gradle.execution.DefaultBuildExecuter.execute(DefaultBuildExecuter.java:62) at org.gradle.execution.DefaultBuildExecuter.execute(DefaultBuildExecuter.java:55) at org.gradle.initialization.DefaultGradleLauncher.doBuildStages(DefaultGradleLauncher.java:149) at org.gradle.initialization.DefaultGradleLauncher.doBuild(DefaultGradleLauncher.java:106) at org.gradle.initialization.DefaultGradleLauncher.run(DefaultGradleLauncher.java:86) at org.gradle.launcher.exec.InProcessBuildActionExecuter$DefaultBuildController.run(InProcessBuildActionExecuter.java:80) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.ExecuteBuildAction.run(ExecuteBuildAction.java:33) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.ExecuteBuildAction.run(ExecuteBuildAction.java:24) at org.gradle.launcher.exec.InProcessBuildActionExecuter.execute(InProcessBuildActionExecuter.java:36) at org.gradle.launcher.exec.InProcessBuildActionExecuter.execute(InProcessBuildActionExecuter.java:26) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.RunBuildAction.run(RunBuildAction.java:51) at org.gradle.internal.Actions$RunnableActionAdapter.execute(Actions.java:171) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.CommandLineActionFactory$ParseAndBuildAction.execute(CommandLineActionFactory.java:237) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.CommandLineActionFactory$ParseAndBuildAction.execute(CommandLineActionFactory.java:210) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.JavaRuntimeValidationAction.execute(JavaRuntimeValidationAction.java:35) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.JavaRuntimeValidationAction.execute(JavaRuntimeValidationAction.java:24) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.CommandLineActionFactory$WithLogging.execute(CommandLineActionFactory.java:206) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.CommandLineActionFactory$WithLogging.execute(CommandLineActionFactory.java:169) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.ExceptionReportingAction.execute(ExceptionReportingAction.java:33) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.ExceptionReportingAction.execute(ExceptionReportingAction.java:22) at org.gradle.launcher.Main.doAction(Main.java:33) at org.gradle.launcher.bootstrap.EntryPoint.run(EntryPoint.java:45) at org.gradle.launcher.bootstrap.ProcessBootstrap.runNoExit(ProcessBootstrap.java:54) at org.gradle.launcher.bootstrap.ProcessBootstrap.run(ProcessBootstrap.java:35) at org.gradle.launcher.GradleMain.main(GradleMain.java:23) at org.gradle.wrapper.BootstrapMainStarter.start(BootstrapMainStarter.java:33) at org.gradle.wrapper.WrapperExecutor.execute(WrapperExecutor.java:130) at org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain.main(GradleWrapperMain.java:48) Caused by: org.gradle.api.GradleException: Compilation error.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? If not, I will have to keep classes using Dagger_ * in java.

Answer 1

You can solve this by waiting! See https://github.com/google/dagger/issues/58 .

The $ character is removed from all generated code until the first version (and, I hope, sooner rather than later).

Also, I would raise a bug with Jetbrains about behavior, since $ is a valid character appearing in the class name.
