How to test Dependency Injection in Android?

Dependency Injection (DI) is a design pattern used in Android development to promote loose coupling between components. To test DI in Android, you typically use frameworks like Dagger or Hilt. Testing ensures that your components receive the correct dependencies, facilitating unit and UI tests. Below is an example of how to test Dependency Injection using Hilt in an Android application.

To run DI tests in Android, you can set up a test class that extends the HiltAndroidRule to manage the injection of dependencies. Always check that the injected components behave as expected.

@HiltAndroidTest class SomeActivityTest { @get:Rule var hiltRule = HiltAndroidRule(this) @Inject lateinit var myDependency: MyDependency @Before fun init() { hiltRule.inject() } @Test fun testMyDependency() { assertNotNull(myDependency) // Additional test assertions on myDependency } }
