Create a sample project demonstrating maven with android and dagger. about dagger

[JakeWharton]

I added an example to Tape yesterday which includes Dagger (http://github.com/square/tape). While it doesn't use the Android-specific manifest features, I do have an internal implementation that does. We currently use the maven-exec-plugin to trigger the manifest parsing during the generate-sources phase.

I was hoping to amend the manifest module to allow it to operate as both a standalone jar or as a maven plugin itself. Doing so would allow it to require no configuration whereas using it with the maven-exec-plugin requires you to specify a few things.

I'll try to get something in this week.

Hi, not sure if this fits with the issue described, but is the tape project demonstrating the idiom for doing injection within Android? I notice you extend the Application class to build the ObjectGraph, and then the onCreate you do the injection for the activity

[JakeWharton]

It represents one strategy. The application is effectively a singleton on Android and is instantiated before anything else which requires injection which is why we use it to construct the object graph. Also, optionally, you could lazily create the object graph using a singleton managed by the traditional standalone pattern.

We are still working on providing a means for using Dagger on Android whose API is less abrasive to consume (even if behind the scenes it does the same thing).

[JakeWharton]

I'm calling this blocked until Travis CI fixes their support for Android. I don't want to inhibit development of this problem by breaking the awesomeness of branch builds via Travis.

Also, Android Bootstrap just updated to support Dagger.
