Question

My colleague developed an Application according to this repository and I should make some changes

In my case After some changes and remove Google Room Library I faced this problem:

error: cannot find symbol class DaggerApplicationComponent

After several rebuilds still cannot generate Project

The problem is you havnt injected the DataManager class so you need to inject DataManager via constructor injection or you have to provide it in the AppComponent with the @Provides annotation and you should use AndroidSupportInjectionModule.class in place of AndroidInjectionModule.class as When your activities are extending AppCompatActivity then the AndroidSupportInjection is used.

@Component(modules = {AndroidSupportInjectionModule.class, AppModule.class, ActivityBuilder.class})
public interface AppComponent {

    void inject(AppApplication networkApplication);

    @Component.Builder
    interface Builder {
        @BindsInstance
        Builder application(AppApplication application);

        AppComponent build();
    }

}
