Configuring Your Android Build

To get started you must add the Micronaut annotation processors to the processor classpath using the annotationProcessor dependency configuration.

The Micronaut micronaut-inject-java dependency should be included in both the annotationProcessor and compileOnly scopes of your Android build configuration:

Example Android build.gradle

dependencies {
    ...
    annotationProcessor "io.micronaut:micronaut-inject-java:2.3.1"
    compileOnly "io.micronaut:micronaut-inject-java:2.3.1"
    ...
}

If you use lint as part of your build you may also need to disable the invalid packages check since Android includes a hard coded check that regards the javax.inject package as invalid unless you are using Dagger:

Configure lint within build.gradle

android {
    ...
    lintOptions {
        lintOptions { warning 'InvalidPackage' }
    }
}

You can find more information on configuring annotations processors in the Android documentation.
