android studio - Hilt dependency implementation in multi-module development

Question

I have created a module named dependencies where I have put all depConstraints I need so I don't have to implement the dependency in each module individually.

I have added Hilt dependencies in my depConstraints'sgradle file but when I want to use Hilt in another module I get the following error

Hilt Android Gradle plugin is applied but no com.google.dagger:hilt-android dependency was found.

Is there a way to use the depConstraints module's dependencies in my other modules (for example app module) without implementing them individually in each module's scope?

Answer 1

You have no way but to write hilt dependencies (including kapt annotation processor) in all build.Gradle files of your modules.

Just put these dependencies into your module's build.Gradle.

api "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.28.1"
kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.28.1"
api "androidx.hilt:hilt-lifecycle-viewmodel:1.0.0-alpha02"
api "androidx.hilt:hilt-compiler:1.0.0-alpha02"
