InflationInject doesn't provide the view.

InflationInject doesn't provide the view.

I think there my not be a good way to allow dagger to create the view directly as view creation in xml must be created via the inflater factory. But for creating view in code we may create an assisted inject factory to work around this limitation. However, there is no @InflationInject.Factory now, @JakeWharton do you have any idea?

[JakeWharton]

Where are the Context and AttributeSet supposed to come from in this case?

[jaychang0917]

For example, to create the ProductView programatically, we can pass the Context of ProductListView and no AttributeSet needed, am I right?

[JakeWharton]

The requested provider comes from Dagger, though. How does the context propagate to the Dagger-provided binding when it never exists in the Dagger graph?

[jaychang0917]

I seems don't get your meaning, for the following code, which part never exists in the Dagger graph?

class ProductView @InflationInject constructor(
    @Assisted context: Context,
    @Assisted attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
    imageLoader: ImageLoader
) {
    @InflationInject.Factory
    interface Factory {
        fun create(context: Context): ProductView
    }
}

class ProductListView @InflationInject constructor(
    @Assisted context: Context,
    @Assisted attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
    productViewFactory: ProductView.Factory
) {
    val productView = productViewFactory.create(context)
}

Nothing. But that's a very different snippet than the original.

Sorry for my unclear wording.🙇🏻‍♂️

[JakeWharton]

I don't think this is something that is in scope of the library. It's either that your views have normal @Inject constructors which means they can be injected or they're @InflationInject constructors which means they can be injected by the LayoutInflater.Factory.
