Problem to resolve Context Injected in BroadcastReceiver using dagger hilt for android

1.5k views Asked by At

I try to inject a class on a BootReceiver (BroadcastReceiver) class and hilt has some issues to resolve the context. I tried a lot of things and maybe one of you sees what is not correct. So here is the code example is failing during compile time:

The BootReceiver is defined in AndroidManifest, and will be stated from there: AndroidManifest.xml

<receiver android:name="ch.didge.flashcaller.BootReceiver" android:enabled="true" 
 android:exported="true">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
</receiver>

The class itselfs is defined in BootReceiver.kt

@AndroidEntryPoint
class BootReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {

    @Inject lateinit var flashCallerRepository: FlashCallerRepository

    override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent?) {
        Log.i("BootReceiver", "context: $context intent: $intent")
        context?.let {
          if (flashCallerRepository.getAutostartService()) {
              val i = Intent(context, FlashcallerService::class.java)
              if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
                  context.startForegroundService(i)
              } else {
                  context.startService(i)
              }
          }
      } ?: run {
          Log.w("BootReceiver", "Context was null not able to start Service")
      }
  }
}

FlashCallerRepository.kt

class FlashCallerRepository @Inject constructor( var configurationService: 
    IConfigurationService) {

 
   
    fun getAutostartService(): Boolean {
        return configurationService.getAutostartService()
     }

   
}

I want to inject an interface and making the mapping to the implementation here:

@Module
@InstallIn(ApplicationComponent::class)
object DiFeatureModule {

    @Singleton
    @Provides
    fun provideConfigurationService(@ApplicationContext appContext: Context
    ): IConfigurationService {
        return SharedPreferencesConfigurationService(appContext)
    }
}

Unfortunately there is an issue providing the context. I'll using hilt version 2.29.1- alpha. It seems with my code, hilt is not able to provide the Context (it should provide the Application Context) The funny thing is , I'm injecting the same class (FlashCallerRepository) from my Activity class too, and there it does work like a charm. It seems to be related with the Receiver.

Any Ideas what should be changed? Thanks a lot!

I did found a solution for my situation. Reason is that in my case the BootReceiver seems to be a constellation that won't be supported by hilt, due this BootReceiver will be the starting Point of the Application. In my understanding it should not may a difference, because even then an Application Class object should be created which should ramp up the whole dependency tree.

I hope when hilt is leaving alpha, this scenario will be supported too. So here I can show you my solution:

class BootReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {
lateinit var flashCallerRepository: FlashCallerRepository

@EntryPoint
@InstallIn(ApplicationComponent::class)
interface BootReceiverEntryPoint {
    fun getflashCallerRepository(): FlashCallerRepository
}

override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent?) {
    Log.i("BootReceiver", "context: $context intent: $intent")
    val entryPoint = EntryPointAccessors.fromApplication(context, 
    BootReceiverEntryPoint::class.java)
    flashCallerRepository = entryPoint.getflashCallerRepository()
    context?.let {
         if (flashCallerRepository.getAutostartService()) {
            val i = Intent(context, FlashcallerService::class.java)
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
                context.startForegroundService(i)
            } else {
                context.startService(i)
            }
         }
        } ?: run {
            Log.w("BootReceiver", "Context was null not able to start Service")
        }
    }
}

My expectation is, that once hilt will work in a way, that I'm able to use injection a BootReceiver like already described in my question above.

If someone knows how tho handle in a standard hilt way please let my know. At least i was able to solve my situation.

I created an issue in the hilt-project: issue in dagger-hilt project
