Hilt is an annotation processor built on top of Dagger which allows to
remove all the Android dependency injection boilerplate code (currently
around 900 lines) by writing it for us.
Hilt can use KSP instead of Kapt so Kapt can be completely removed from
the project. Kapt is slow, deprecated and has a few compatibility
issues. Removing Kapt will improve build times since no Java stubs have
to be generated for Kotlin classes anymore (Note that KSP also processes
annotations in Java classes so it can completely replace Kapt).
- Remove all modules related to manual dependency injection
configuration.
- Rename `AppModule` to `StorageModule` since it now only contains
configuration to retrieve the DataBase and SharedPreferences.
- Annotate all entry points (Activities, Fragments, BroadcastReceivers
and Services) with `@AndroidEntryPoint`.
- Annotate all injected ViewModels with `@HiltViewModel` and replace the
custom ViewModel Factory with the default one (which integrates with the
one generated by Hilt).
- Add a public field to allow overriding the default
ViewModelProvider.Factory in `BaseActivity` in tests.
- Annotate tested Activities with `@OptionalInject` since Activity tests
currently rely on the Activities not being injected automatically.
- Annotate injected `Context` arguments with `@ApplicationContext`. Hilt
provides the `Context` binding automatically but requires to specify if
the Application or Activity Context is wanted.
- Add WorkManager Hilt integration so all Workers are injected by Hilt
automatically using `HiltWorkerFactory`.
- Lazily initialize WorkManager in `TuskyApplication`.
- Remove Kapt and Kapt workarounds.
- ~~Remove toolchain configuration for Java 21. Toolchains force the
Java bytecode to match the JDK version used to build the project, and
apparently Hilt doesn't run inside the toolchain so cannot process the
source code if the JDK version of the toolchain is higher than the JDK
used to run Gradle. [And configuring a toolchain for an older Java
version causes other
issues](https://jakewharton.com/gradle-toolchains-are-rarely-a-good-idea/).
**Removing toolchains configuration doesn't prevent the project from
being built using JDK 21** or more recent versions but allows to build
the project using older JDKs as well.~~
Added a fix to allow Hilt to properly use the JDK toolchain.
- ~~Set the Java and Kotlin bytecode target to Java 17. The standard
bytecode target for Android projects is usually Java 8 or 11 (any higher
version doesn't provide any benefit but may cause compatibility issues).
However, since the app currently uses a library built against Java 17
bytecode (`networkresult-calladapter`), it needs to target at least Java
17 bytecode as well.~~
- Update the Dagger 2 URL in the licenses screen. Hilt is part of Dagger
2 so the label wasn't changed.
- Read license resource using Okio inside a coroutine (instead of the
main thread) in `LicenseActivity`
- Use Okio and its buffer system to copy ContentProvider streams and
files to a temporary file in `MediaUploader.prepareMedia()`
- Properly close the input file after copying it to a temporary file in
`MediaUploader.prepareMedia()`
- Properly close sink in case of null body source during file copy in
`Uri.copyToFolder()` in `DraftHelper.kt`
- Add comment explaining the current value of `DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE` in
`UriRequestBody.kt` and indent the file properly
- Replace hardcoded `Charset` and `Int` byte size with the proper
constants, and align the `hashCode()` implementation with other
`BitmapTransformation` implementations in
`CompositeWithOpaqueBackground`
- Properly close `InputStream` in case of error during Bitmap size
decoding in `getImageSquarePixels()`
- return `Int` instead of `Long` in `getImageSquarePixels()`, since the
current code simply converts the `Int` result to a `Long` _after_
multiplication and not before (and `Int.MAX_VALUE` is already way above
the maximum number of pixels a decoded Bitmap could return)
- Simplify `getImageOrientation()`
- Add explicit dependency to the Okio library and upgrade it to its
latest version.
