Is there any way to bind with provider which interprets target's annotation value in Google Guice?
Example:
bind(Resource.class)
.annotatedWith(MyAnnotation.class)
.toProvider(new MyProvider<MyAnnotation, Resource>{
public Resource get(MyAnnotation anno){
return resolveResourceByAnnoValue(anno.value());
}
});
I want to initialize field of an Android Activity class by annotated binding.
It should have to take multiple resources by it's unique Id.
Original Way:
public class TestActivity extends Activity{
private TextView textView;
private Button testButton;
public void onAfterCreate(...){
// set UI declaration resource.
setContentView(R.layout.activity_test);
// initialize fields, it must be done after setting ui definition.
textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
.... initialize other fields, hook them...
...
}
I want to bind UI and it's field in declarative way, not pragmatically likes above:
@ResourceID(R.layout.activity_test)
public class TestActivity extends InjectiveActivity{
@ResourceID(R.id.textView) // Auto generated static resource id constant
private TextView textView;
@ResourceID(R.id.testButton)
private Button testButton;
...
}
This isn't possible as such.
If @MyAnnotation
is a binding annotation, it will be compared using its equals
method. @MyAnnotation(5) Resource
will be bound to @MyAnnotation(5) Resource
, and that will not match at all compared to @MyAnnotation(6) Resource
. Check out this SO answer for more. As in that answer, you could loop through your possible annotation values and bind each one individually, if you feel like it.
If @MyAnnotation
isn't a binding annotation, you won't be able to access it at all from your provider. As mentioned in this SO answer, it is a rejected feature to add injection-site information to the provider or dependency itself.
Your best bet is to create an @Assisted
injection (or manual factory) to accept the parameter:
class MyConsumer {
final Resource resource;
@Inject MyConsumer(Resource.Factory resourceFactory) {
int previouslyAnnotatedValue = 5;
this.resource = resourceFactory.createWithValue(previouslyAnnotatedValue);
}
}
You may also consider using Custom Injections, which will let you use an arbitrary annotation other than @Inject
, which may use runtime annotation values however you'd like.
Here is an example in Scala (I like using Scala for prototyping, it's Java in a different dress after all) which I came up with after wondering about it myself in Dynamic Google Juice injection depending on value of an annotation
import java.lang.reflect.{Constructor, Parameter}
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference
import javax.inject.{Inject, Named, Provider}
import com.google.inject.matcher.Matchers
import com.google.inject.spi.ProvisionListener.ProvisionInvocation
import com.google.inject.{AbstractModule, Binder, Guice}
import com.google.inject.spi.{DependencyAndSource, ProviderInstanceBinding, ProvisionListener}
import com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory
import net.codingwell.scalaguice.InjectorExtensions._
import net.codingwell.scalaguice.ScalaModule
import scala.collection.JavaConverters._
object GuiceExperiments extends App {
val injector = Guice.createInjector(new MyModule())
val some = injector.instance[Some]
println(some)
some.go()
}
trait Some {
def go(): Unit
}
class Impl @Inject()(
@Named("a.a.a") hello: String,
@Named("a.a.b") bello: String,
@Named("a.b.a") kello: String
) extends Some {
override def go() = {
println(hello)
println(bello)
println(kello)
}
}
abstract class DynamicProvider[T >: Null](binder: Binder) extends Provider[T] {
private[this] val nextValue = new AtomicReference[T]
binder.bindListener(Matchers.any(), new ProvisionListener {
private[this] def tryProvide(target: DependencyAndSource): Unit = {
val dependency = target.getDependency
val injectionPoint = dependency.getInjectionPoint
val parameterIndex = dependency.getParameterIndex
injectionPoint.getMember match {
case constructor: Constructor[_] =>
val parameter = constructor.getParameters()(parameterIndex)
nextValue.set(getFor(parameter))
}
}
override def onProvision[V](provision: ProvisionInvocation[V]): Unit = {
provision.getBinding match {
case binding: ProviderInstanceBinding[_] if binding.getUserSuppliedProvider eq DynamicProvider.this =>
provision.getDependencyChain.asScala.lastOption.foreach(tryProvide)
case _ => ()
}
}
})
final override def get(): T = nextValue.getAndSet(null)
def getFor(parameter: Parameter): T
}
class MyModule extends AbstractModule with ScalaModule {
override def configure(): Unit = {
bind[Some].to[Impl]
bind[String].annotatedWith[Named].toProvider(new DynamicProvider[String](binder) {
override def getFor(parameter: Parameter): String = {
if (parameter.isAnnotationPresent(classOf[Named])) {
parameter.getAnnotation(classOf[Named]).value()
} else {
null
}
}
})
}
}
this only inserts the value of the @Named
, but looks like it pretty damn works. so much for not possible.
