Here are some common mistakes when working with Hilt:

  • Missing @HiltAndroidApp annotation: Forgetting to annotate your Application class can prevent Hilt from functioning correctly.
  • Not using @Inject on constructor: If you forget this annotation, Hilt won't be able to provide instances of your class.
  • Improper component scope: Using the wrong lifecycle scope can lead to memory leaks or unexpected behavior.
  • Using non-Hilt Android components: Mixing regular Android components with Hilt can create instantiation issues.

Example of a correctly set up Hilt application:

@HiltAndroidApp
class MyApplication : Application() {
    // Application class that uses Hilt for dependency injection
}
