Dependency Injection is a very important technique in programming. There are currently numerous ways to achieve this in Android Development, ranging from the traditional DIY approach which can get very complex as the size of a project increases, to full-blown dependency injection libraries - some maintained by Google and others by numerous open source contributors.

While Dagger, a popular DI library has been the go-to approach, the learning curve is very steep and it doesn’t work right out of the box with the Android lifecycle which leads to the generation of a lot of boilerplate code. Hilt was created to solve these problems.

In this talk, you will learn about the concept of Dependency Injection - first without libraries, and then with Hilt. You’ll learn how to incorporate Hilt into a new app and how to migrate an existing app. You’ll leave this talk empowered with all the tools you need to get started with Hilt!
