Toothpick Reflect

The toothpick-reflect artifact is an API-compatible implementation of Toothpick 1.x which uses 100% reflection instead of annotation processing for use during development.

Usage

1. Add jcenter() maven repository:

   repositories {
       ...
       jcenter()
   }

2. Use reflect-runtime artifact for IDE builds:

   dependencies {
     if (properties.containsKey('android.injected.invoked.from.ide')) {
       implementation 'com.lukaville.toothpick.reflect:toothpick-reflect-runtime:0.1.0'
     } else {
       implementation 'com.github.stephanenicolas.toothpick:toothpick-runtime:1.1.3'
       kapt 'com.github.stephanenicolas.toothpick:toothpick-compiler:1.1.3'
     }
   }

   * replace kapt with annotationProcessor for Java modules

3. If you are using factory registries and member injector registries you need to instanciate them using reflection:

   • Replace this:

     FactoryRegistryLocator.setRootRegistry(FactoryRegistry());
     MemberInjectorRegistryLocator.setRootRegistry(MemberInjectorRegistry());

   • With this:

     FactoryRegistryLocator.setRootRegistry(Class.forName("mypackage.FactoryRegistry").getConstructor().newInstance());
     MemberInjectorRegistryLocator.setRootRegistry(Class.forName("mypackage.MemberInjectorRegistry").getConstructor().newInstance());

   Also, if you are using obfuscation you need to keep names for the registries so reflective instantiation doesn't fail.

Limitations

• @ProvidesSingletonInScope annotation is not supported because it's not available at runtime, use providesSingletonInScope() binding instead. It can be fixed in the future by monkey-patching this annoation
• Superclass member injection is not implemented for dependencies created using factories (see FactoryGenerator.java)
• This implementation may contain bugs, please do not use for production
