Dagger 2 giving error '...cannot be provided without an @Provides-annotated method'

Question

I'm trying to build a simple android project for dagger 2 understanding. I currently have the component

MyComponent.java

@Component(modules = {MyModule.class})
public interface MyComponent {
    MyModule provideModule();
}

MyModule.java

@Module
public class MyModule {
    @Provides
    Repo provideRepo(){
        return new Repo();
    }
}

Repo.java

public class Repo {
    private String name;
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

I've added these to build.gradle for app

apt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.2'
compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.2'
provided 'javax.annotation:jsr250-api:1.0'

Also in dependencies for project I've used this

classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'

When building the project, I'm getting this error

Error:(10, 14) error: com.example.bharatkulratan.daggernotworking.MyModule cannot be provided without an @Inject constructor or from an @Provides-annotated method.

The error reads out for missing @Provided annotation but provideRepo() method is already having the annotation of @Provided. I'm unable to figure out the missing part. Please help.

Answer 1

Remove this

MyModule provideModule();

And add this in its place

Repo provideRepo();
