Inject into Workers (androidx.WorkManager API)
See original GitHub issueHi,
from latest Google I/O you just presented the new androidx.work.Worker class, part of the new WorkManager API.
Since the Worker class is created by the framework (we only pass the Worker class type to the WorkManager), how can we @inject fields into the Worker ?
Do you intend to add a new AndroidInjection.inject() function that takes a worker as argument ?
Thanks

We hope to have something soon. It likely will be in a new artifact (
dagger-android-work), plus support for@ContributesAndroidInjector.I know this is the wrong repo for this comment, but I wonder aloud why they couldn’t have created a WorkerFactory class similar to ViewModelProvider.Factory for defining how to create Worker objects. Or something. I just really don’t understand why Android framework classes can never have useful public constructors.
