i am starting koin in application class:

startKoin { // declare used Android context androidContext(this@QairosApplication) // declare modules modules(myModule) }

Can you share the method where you are starting the koin application? are you starting it on the onCreate of the Application? — Luciano Ferruzzi, Aug 13 '20 at 01:35
@LucianoFerruzzi yes in application class first i initialize viewModel then startKoin — Khalid Saeed, Aug 17 '20 at 09:54

In your manifest file, you need to give the name of the class where you use startKoin{}. For example, if you start Koin in a class called BaseApplication, in your manifest, it should look like this :

 <application
    android:name=".BaseApplication"
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

And in BaseApplication Class :

class BaseApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        startKoin {
            androidLogger()
            androidContext(this@BaseApplication)
            modules(listOf(module1, module2))
        }
}

No Koin Context configured. Please use startKoin or koinApplication DSL
