AnnotationProcessor dependency for Gradle using a jar file

Question

I am integrating dagger in my project and I am having this issue.

I want to add jar dependencies instead of

`annotationProcessor "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.41"`

like below

annotationProcessor files('libs/dagger-compiler-2.41.jar') but when I compile, it gives me error

Execution failed for task ''.

dagger/spi/shaded/androidx/room/compiler/processing/javac/JavacBasicAnnotationProcessor Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: dagger/spi/shaded/androidx/room/compiler/processing/javac/JavacBasicAnnotationProcesso

It is working with other jar daggger dependency but not with AnnotationProcessor. When I use annotationProcessor "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.41" everything works fine.

implementation files('libs/javax.inject-1.jar')
implementation files('libs/dagger-2.41.jar')
implementation files('libs/dagger-producers-2.41.jar')

Answer 1

After so much of research and hit and trial and lot of trying I was able to integrate daggger to my Project in gradle as well as in android MK.

For Gradle : Worked for both API 28 and 30
