android - cannot find symbol class DaggerAppComponent or cannot find symbol class DaggerActivityComponent

Question

I get this error after adding inject on my class then it gives me a compilation error. If I remove

@Inject static ApiService mApiService;

it's working fine

And I'm using 2 Application class those are extended MultidexApplication because I have merge 2 application first is using dagger2 and second application is butterknife and both directory structure are differnet and both application interdependently working fine but after merge the code application not compile and give DaggerAppComponent error!

Please help us to resolve my query

I'm follow the below structure

@ActivityScope
@Component(dependencies = AppComponent.class)
public interface ActivityComponent extends AppComponent {
    void inject(SignInActivity activity);
}

@Component(modules = {ApplicationModule.class, ApiModule.class})
public interface AppComponent {
    Context appContext();
    Config config();
    ApiService apiService();    
}

@Module
public class ActivityModule {
    private final Activity mActivity;

    public ActivityModule(Activity activity){
        mActivity = activity;
    }

    @Provides
    public Context activityContext(){
        return mActivity;
    }
}

@Module

                .readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .writeTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .build();
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        mapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_IGNORED_PROPERTIES,false);
        mapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES,false);
        return new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl(Config.API_URL)
                .addConverterFactory(JacksonConverterFactory.create(mapper))
                .client(client)
                .build()
                .create(ApiService.class);

Answer 1

In my case I tried:

• invalidating the cache and cleaning the project
• changing the version of dagger
• adding -Pandroid.incrementalJavaCompile = false in gradle.properties
• much more.

The only thing that helped me in my case was to open the console "build", click on "Toggle View" (to the left of the console and below the hammer) and fix the errors that appear on that screen.
