Repost from  https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki/Dependency-Injection-with-Dagger-2 Overview Many Android apps rely on instantiating objects that often require other dependencies. For instance, a Twitter API client may be built using a networking library such as  Retrofit . To use this library, you might also need to add parsing libraries such as  Gson . In addition, classes that implement authentication or caching may require accessing  shared preferences  or other common storage, requiring instantiating them first and creating an inherent dependency chain. If you're not familiar with Dependency Injection, watch  this  quick video. Dagger 2 analyzes these dependencies for you and generates code to help wire them together. While there are other Java dependency injection frameworks, many of them suffered limitations in relying on XML, required validating dependency issues at run-time, or incurred performance penalties during startup...
