I must say that people have done a great job at explaining various concepts of dependency injection, it\u2019s technical details and also case studies. But, in my opinion, Dagger is something which has become a part of our coding lives now. Yet, from time-to-time we still find ourselves lost in the world of dependencies and dealing with \u201cThe Dahaka (a beast of generated classes)\u201d.\u00a0</p>\n<p><em>Starting to learn about Dagger?</em> Start by creating a Module and a Component. Add a Singleton scope to it.\u00a0</p>\n<p><em>Dependencies getting out of hand?</em> Create another dependent component.</p>\n<p><em>Creating a dependent component?</em> You should create another scope!! And if this is not enough Create some subcomponents, create Qualifiers, use Lazy injection, use Provider, use static Injection, use Async Injection.</p>\n<p><em>Still alive?</em> Now we present you with Dagger Android and I am sure that it will certainly kill you\u00a0:P</p>\n<p>But wait! What exactly is the relation between a <em>Module</em> and a <em>Component</em>? We don\u2019t know that. Thankfully! Dagger 2 generates all it\u2019s code at compile time and we can actually see for ourselves what\u2019s going on behind the scenes. We can see that for our every Component, Dagger generates a <em>DaggerComponent</em> which has a \"<em>has-a</em>\u201d relationship with our <em>Module</em>. So far so good? Here comes \u201cThe Dahaka\u201d (an infinite storm in an ocean of P<em>roviders, Factories, Builders, MemberInjectors, DoubleChecks, Lazy, Producers...</em> ) You can easily get lost in those classes.\u00a0</p>\n<p><em>\u201cMost people think dependency injection is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction, but I have seen the face of dependencies and I can tell you they are wrong.

I will then talk about applying those patterns to gradually learn the technicalities of Dagger Android.

However, other, more sensitive actions such as money transactions pose a greater challenge when migrating to fingerprint authentication.</p>\n<p>Additionally, in order to increase security, virtually all mobile banking application nowadays depend on OTP algorithms to generate time-based secrets, which ultimately depend on a secret key (the seed). This secret key is the ultimate secret for access to mobile banking.</p>\n<p>Since this secret key needs to be available for the login and transaction authentication process, most current mobile banking applications solve this by encrypting the secret key with the user\u2019s PIN code, and then storing the PIN code on the device encrypted in such a way that it will be accessible with fingerprint authentication.<br />\nThe problem with this approach is that the keystore is accessible for root user without authentication.</p>\n<p>Developers utilize this solution because it does not require a lot of changes in the server side code or in the backend database.
