[FIXED] Hilt integration crashes application MainActivity_GeneratedInjector

Issue

Trying to integrate hilt using android Api Documentation but app crashed with following exception. rel="noreferrer">https://developer.android.com/training/dependency-injection/hilt-android

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity 
ComponentInfo{com.package.application/com.package.application.MainActivity}: 

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.package.application.DaggerAppApplication_HiltComponents_ApplicationC$ActivityRetainedCImpl$ActivityCImpl 
cannot be cast to com.package.application.MainActivity_GeneratedInjector

   

Solution

Solved it by adding missing dependency for androidx hilt.

kapt 'androidx.hilt:hilt-compiler:1.0.0-alpha01'

Other dependencies that I have in my gradle file.

implementation "androidx.hilt:hilt-lifecycle-viewmodel:1.0.0-alpha02"
implementation 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.28-alpha'
kapt 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.28-alpha'
implementation "androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:1.2.5"

Plus fragment and its activity who are injecting viewmodel using hilt both are annotated as @AndroidEntryPoint
