java.lang.IllegalStateException: KoinApplication has not been started

Question

I am learning kotlin using koin. While running the application in catlog I see the following message.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: KoinApplication has not been started

though I have used startKoin in MyApplication

class MyApplication : Application() {

    var listOfModules = module {
        single { GitHubServiceApi() }
    }

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        startKoin {
            androidLogger()
            androidContext(this@MyApplication)
            modules(listOfModules)
        }

    }

}

Found where I have done my mistake. Thanks to everyone – anandyn02 Jan 11 '20 at 03:37 — anandyn02, Jan 11 '20 at 03:37

Adding "android:name=".TheApplication" in the Manifest file solved the issue.

    android:name=".TheApplication"
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_app_icon_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/Theme.Shrine">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

"android:name=".TheApplication" is the Class Name from Koin

class TheApplication : Application() {

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
            Timber.plant(Timber.DebugTree())
        }

        startKoin {
            androidLogger()
            androidContext(androidContext = this@TheApplication)

            modules(
                listOfModules
            )
        }
    }
}

I already have this tag, any other way to fix this ? – Notron Jul 26 '22 at 19:47 — Notron, Jul 26 '22 at 19:47
I have already added this but it does not help. – Syed Arsalan Kazmi Dec 23 '22 at 11:52 — Syed Arsalan Kazmi, Dec 23 '22 at 11:52

In you manifest.xml,

<application>
    android:name=".MyApplication"
    ...
</application

Add this line in application tag.

If you write unit test, you also should add startKoin and inject dependencies:

@Before
fun startKoinForTest() {
    startKoin {
        modules(DI.modules(...))
    }
}

@After
fun stopKoinAfterTest() = stopKoin()

Basically, you need to give the name of the class where you called startKoin() method, in the Manifest as an application name. And this will let your configure logging, properties loading and modules. Check this out: https://doc.insert-koin.io/#/koin-core/dsl

private fun getKoin(activity: ComponentActivity): Koin {
return if (activity is KoinComponent) {
    activity.getKoin()
} else {
    GlobalContext.getOrNull() ?: startKoin {
        androidContext(activity)
        modules(listModule)
    }.koin
}

}

 fun ComponentActivity.contextAwareActivityScope() = runCatching {
LifecycleScopeDelegate<Activity>(
    lifecycleOwner = this,
    koin = getKoin(this)
)}.getOrElse { activityScope() 
}
