Interface ResourceProvider

public interface ResourceProvider

A provider that manages the creation of resource class instances. A provider instance is specific to a particular class of a resource.

It is the responsibility of a ResourceProvider to perform injection onto the properties of a resource. If injection is required then declare an injectable field of the type InjectableProviderContext annotated with Context and create a ResourceClassInjector instance to be used to perform injection onto the provided resource. This may be performed in the init method.
