Hilt Alpha Release

Hilt is a new library that layers on top of Dagger and provides a standard way to incorporate Dagger into an Android application. For more information, see https://dagger.dev/hilt.

Lint checks in Dagger for Kotlin (2597f5a)

Dagger now includes Lint checks for Kotlin users. The checks cover the following cases:

• Using a redundant field: site target in injected properties
• Using a redundant @JvmStatic in object modules.
• Annotating companion objects with @Module (@Module should just be on the enclosing class)

These checks are included by default for users of dagger-android and hilt-android. For Kotlin only projects the checks are available in a new artifact, com.google.dagger:dagger-lint:<version> and can be applied via the lintChecks configuration in Gradle:

apply plugin: "com.android.lint"

dependencies {
  lintChecks "com.google.dagger:dagger-lint:<version>"
}
