ArrayAdapter problem: Cannot refer to an instance field while explicitly invoking a constructor

[glenviewjeff]

I've got a custom ArrayAdapter that I want to inject, but if I inject the activity into the custom ArrayAdapter, I get the following error on the super(context, textViewResourceId, objects); call:

Cannot refer to an instance field activity while explicitly invoking a constructor.

This error is because Java thinks that the fields can't possibly be initialized prior to the call to super.  Of course, I'm injecting the context.  Does anyone know how to get around this problem?  I'd very much like to avoid making the injected members static. 

public class MyListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<MyThing> {
    @Inject
    private MyListAdapterData myListAdapterData;
    @Inject
    private Activity activity;

    public MyListAdapter(int textViewResourceId) {
        super(activity, textViewResourceId, myListAdapterData.getSubCategories());
               ...

Can you use constructor injection?  If so, you can use the following technique to inject the Actiity and myListAdapterData via your constructor while still providing the textViewResourceId manually:

Yes, that's what I ended up doing.  I thought I hadn't actually posted this or I would have posted the solution.  Thanks!
