What is Hilt in Android SDK?

Hilt is a dependency injection library for Android that reduces boilerplate code and simplifies the setup of dependency injection in Android applications. It is built on top of Dagger and provides a standard way to incorporate Dagger into Android applications to improve the management of dependencies.

Key Features of Hilt

  • Eliminates the need for manual Dagger setups.
  • Integrates seamlessly with Android components such as Activities, Fragments, ViewModels, and Services.
  • Automatic generation of code to manage dependency graphs.

Example of Hilt Usage

// Add these dependencies to your build.gradle file implementation 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.x' kapt 'com.google.dagger:hilt-compiler:2.x' // Example of an Activity using Hilt @AndroidEntryPoint class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { @Inject lateinit var someDependency: SomeDependency override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) // You can now use 'someDependency' } }
