Starting Koin on Android
The koin-android project is dedicated to provide Koin powers to Android world.
startKoin() from your Application
From your Application class you can use the startKoin function and inject the Android context with androidContext as follow:
class MainApplication : Application() {
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
startKoin {
// Koin Android logger
androidLogger()
//inject Android context
androidContext(this@MainApplication)
// use modules
modules(myAppModules)
}
}
}
Starting Koin with Android context from elsewhere?
If you need to start Koin from another Android class, you can use the startKoin function and provide your Android Context
instance with just like:
startKoin {
//inject Android context
androidContext(/* your android context */)
// use modules
modules(myAppModules)
}
Koin Logging
Within your KoinApplication instance, we have an extension androidLogger which use the AndroidLogger()#
This logger is an Android implementation of the Koin logger.
Up to you to change this logger if it doesn't suits to your needs.
class MainApplication : Application() {
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
startKoin {
//inject Android context
androidContext(/* your android context */)
// use Android logger - Level.INFO by default
androidLogger()
// use modules
modules(myAppModules)
}
}
}
Properties
You can use Koin properties in the assets/koin.properties file, to store keys/values:
// Shut off Koin Logger
class MainApplication : Application() {
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
startKoin {
//inject Android context
androidContext(/* your android context */)
// use Android logger - Level.INFO by default
androidLogger()
// use properties from assets/koin.properties
androidFileProperties()
// use modules
modules(myAppModules)
}
}
}
