Most Used Dependencies

For Kotlin With XML

First, add the hilt-android-gradle-plugin plugin to your project's root build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        val nav_version = "2.7.7"
        classpath("androidx.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin:$nav_version")
    }
}

plugins {
  ...
  // 2.47 works with kotlin 1.8
  id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android") version "2.47" apply false

}

Then, apply the Gradle plugin and add these dependencies in your app/build.gradle file:

plugins {
  id ("kotlin-kapt")
  id("com.google.dagger.hilt.android")
  
  id("androidx.navigation.safeargs.kotlin")  // for kotlin-only modules
					  // or 
  id("androidx.navigation.safeargs")
}

android {
  ...
  
  buildFeatures{
        viewBinding = true
    }
}

dependencies {
	
		// for hilt
		// please choose version based on kotlin version 
		//  ex: for 1.8 --> 2.47 etc.. 
		implementation("com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.44") // latest 2.49
		kapt("com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.44")  // latest 2.48

		// lifecycle
		val lifecycle_version = "2.8.0"
    val arch_version = "2.2.0"
    // ViewModel
		implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:$lifecycle_version")
		// LiveData
    implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-ktx:$lifecycle_version")

    // for retrofit
    implementation ("com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.9.0")   // new 2.11.0
	  implementation ("com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.9.0")

		// for room
		val room_version = "2.6.1"
    implementation("androidx.room:room-runtime:$room_version")
    annotationProcessor("androidx.room:room-compiler:$room_version")
    kapt("androidx.room:room-compiler:$room_version")
     // optional - Paging 3 Integration
    implementation("androidx.room:room-paging:$room_version")

    // for coroutine 
    val coroutine_version = "1.8.0"
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:$coroutine_version")
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:$coroutine_version")

    // for paging 3 
    val paging_version = "3.3.0"
    implementation("androidx.paging:paging-runtime-ktx:$paging_version")

    // for navigation
    val nav_version = "2.7.7"
    implementation("androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment-ktx:$nav_version")
    implementation("androidx.navigation:navigation-ui-ktx:$nav_version")
}

// Allow references to generated code
kapt {
  correctErrorTypes = true
}

Dependency injection with Hilt  |  Android Developers

Hilt is a dependency injection library for Android that reduces the boilerplate of doing manual dependency injection in your project. Doing manual dependency injection requires you to construct every class and its dependencies by hand, and to use containers to reuse and manage dependencies.

Paging library overview  |  Android Developers

The Paging library helps you load and display pages of data from a larger dataset from local storage or over a network. This approach lets your app use both network bandwidth and system resources more efficiently. The components of the Paging library are designed to fit into the recommended Android app architecture, integrate cleanly with other Jetpack components, and provide first-class Kotlin support.
