Toothpick is a scope tree based dependency injection library for Java, Kotlin, and Android. It is a runtime-based but reflection-free implementation of JSR 330 that uses annotation processing and scopes to manage dependency lifecycles and prevent memory leaks.

Use cases

• dependency injection for android apps
• manage scoped dependencies across activities and fragments
• inject dependencies into android viewmodels
• reflection-free jsr 330 di for java and kotlin
• avoid memory leaks with scope-based dependency lifecycles
• test android apps with injectable dependencies

When to choose

• building Android apps that need fast, reflection-free DI
• you want scope trees tied to Android lifecycles (application, activity, viewmodel)
• you prefer JSR 330 annotations without runtime reflection overhead

When to avoid

• starting a new project where Dagger/Hilt or Koin have larger communities
• you need server-side or non-Android DI with broad ecosystem support
• the project requires very recent maintenance and frequent releases
