I have a FooViewModel that is scoped to the FooFragment. In FooFragment, the device type is passed from another fragment based on what user selects. I want to inject this in the constructor of the FooViewModel. How should I provide the deviceType in the module?

Here’s my setup –

@Module
interface FooModule {

  @ContributesAndroidInjector
  fun contributesFooFragment(): FooFragment

  companion object {
    @Provides
    fun provideDeviceType(fragment: FooFragment) = fragment.deviceType
  }
}

I get an error

[Dagger/MissingBinding] FooFragment cannot be provided without an @Inject constructor or an @Provides-annotated method. This type supports members injection but cannot be implicitly provided.
