Trying to add Hilt to my project but sync fails. My app gradle contains these lines:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
apply plugin: 'dagger.hilt.android.plugin'

the last one triggers the error "Unable to load com.android.build.api.extension.AndroidComponentsExtension". Full trace here: https://pastebin.com/dZFg7yyX

Kotlin version is: '1.6.10' Here the dependencies in the root gradle script:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1'
    classpath 'io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:7.0.8'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.8'
    classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.5.2'
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    classpath 'com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.7.0.300'
    classpath "com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.35"
}

and in my app gradle I have:

implementation 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.35'
kapt 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.35'

Any hint?

CodePudding user response：

Updating your hilt seems to have resolved this issue.

This guide explains the basic concepts of Hilt and its generated containers.

Adding dependencies

First, add the hilt-android-gradle-plugin plugin to your project's root build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    ...
    dependencies {
        ...
        classpath("com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.38.1")
    }
}

Then, apply the Gradle plugin and add these dependencies in your app/build.gradle file:

plugins {
    kotlin("kapt")
    id("dagger.hilt.android.plugin")
}

android {
    ...
}

dependencies {
    implementation("com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.38.1")
    kapt("com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.38.1")
}

// Allow references to generated code
kapt {
 correctErrorTypes = true
}

Hilt uses Java 8 features. To enable Java 8 in your project, add the following to the app/build.gradle file:

android {
    ...
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}
