Change @Inject to @Autowired annotations

[Weinschenk]

I am struggling in the OSGi environment that annotations with @Inject do not work properly but @Autowired work.

Is it possible to change annotations?

It is very hard to change those annotations because the @Inject is needed to support Android with Guice dependency injection and does not work with @Autowired which is a spring principle. As I have not managed to get spring working on Android not sure how to help you here.

I have considered in the past forking of the codebase for the Android version which could yet be another argument to finally do this, but this is not a short-term thing unfortunately.

Thank you for the explanation. Is it possible to mix both, means adding both annotations? I just tried it with Spring and it seems to work.

As a workaround I will try to generate a spring context file without the component-scan, but creating the beans explicitly

I think a retest is needed of the Android support to see, i am unsure if that will work with double annotations. Most likely the context file will be the only solution in this case.
