Can you list and explain the main scopes used in Dagger for managing the lifecycle of dependencies?

In Dagger, scopes are used to manage the lifecycle and uniqueness of dependencies. Main scopes:
-
@Singleton — ensures that the object is created only once during the entire lifecycle of the component (e.g., the application). This is the most common scope for singleton services.
-
@ActivityScoped (or similar custom scopes) — the object lives within the lifecycle of an Activity. This means a new instance is created upon recreation of the Activity.
-
@FragmentScoped — similar for fragments.
-
@Reusable — Dagger can reuse the object but does not guarantee a single instance.
-
Without scope — each dependency request creates a new object.
Using scopes helps control how many times an object is created, and manages memory and application performance.
