How do I configure IntelliJ/gradle to use dagger 2.0

Question

I have a gradle project and I want to use dagger 2.0 in it. I don\'t know how to configure IntelliJ and gradle to generate files and let IntelliJ find them?

My build

Answer 1

I had problems with the existings plugins, so I added the following to my build.gradle:

def daggerVersion = "2.4"

// APT >>
def genPath = new File(buildDir,"generated/java/APT" )

task createGenPath << {
    if(!genPath.exists()){
        genPath.mkdirs()
    }
}
compileJava.dependsOn(createGenPath)

compileJava {
     options.compilerArgs << '-s' << genPath
}
// APT <<


dependencies {
    compile "com.google.dagger:dagger:$daggerVersion"
    compile "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:$daggerVersion"
}

// APT IDEA >>
idea.module {
    sourceDirs += genPath
    // maybe add to generatedSourceDirs
    iml {
        withXml {
            File ideaCompilerXml = project.file('.idea/compiler.xml')
            if (ideaCompilerXml.isFile()) {
                Node parsedProjectXml = (new XmlParser()).parse(ideaCompilerXml)
                updateIdeaCompilerConfiguration(parsedProjectXml)
                ideaCompilerXml.withWriter { writer ->
                    XmlNodePrinter nodePrinter = new XmlNodePrinter(new PrintWriter(writer))
                    nodePrinter.setPreserveWhitespace(true)
                    nodePrinter.print(parsedProjectXml)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

static void updateIdeaCompilerConfiguration( Node projectConfiguration) { //actually resets APT
    Object compilerConfiguration = projectConfiguration.component.find { it.@name == 'CompilerConfiguration' }
    compilerConfiguration.annotationProcessing.replaceNode{
        annotationProcessing() {
            profile(default: 'true', name: 'Default', enabled: 'true') {
                sourceOutputDir(name: '')
                sourceTestOutputDir(name: '')
                outputRelativeToContentRoot(value: 'true')
                processorPath(useClasspath: 'true')
            }
        }
    }
}
// APT IDEA <<
