Enabling Dependency Injection
Once you have configured the classpath correctly, the next step is start the ApplicationContext.
The following example demonstrates creating a subclass of android.app.Application for that purpose:
Example Android Application Class
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Application;
import android.os.Bundle;
import io.micronaut.context.ApplicationContext;
import io.micronaut.context.env.Environment;
public class BaseApplication extends Application { (1)
private ApplicationContext ctx;
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
ctx = ApplicationContext.run(MainActivity.class, Environment.ANDROID); (2)
registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(new ActivityLifecycleCallbacks() { (3)
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Activity activity, Bundle bundle) {
ctx.inject(activity);
}
... // shortened for brevity; it is not necessary to implement other methods
});
}
}
1 | Extend the android.app.Application class |
2 | Run the ApplicationContext with the ANDROID environment |
3 | Register an ActivityLifecycleCallbacks instance to allow dependency injection of Android Activity instances |
