I am using dagger and I have to update the locale in the attachBaseContext of the activity, I am keeping the locale update logic inside LocaleManager and LocaleManager instance is already inside appModule when I try to use this LocaleManager instance inside attachBaseContext I get null pointer exception
as the activity's injections happen after attachBaseContext inside onCreate().

This is happening, as you said, because the injection is happening after attachBaseContext is called.

I'm actually not sure what the question is here, but I was facing the same problem, but unfortunately I could not solve it with dagger. I needed to create a new LocaleManager in the attachBaseContext like this:

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) 
 super.attachBaseContext(new LocaleManager(base).updateContext());

where updateContext returns the context with the updated locale, like this:

public Context updateContext() 
 Locale locale = new Locale(DESIRED_LANGUAGECODE);
 Locale.setDefault(locale);
 if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) 
 return updateResourcesLocale(locale);
 
 return updateResourcesLocaleLegacy(locale);



@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
private Context updateResourcesLocaleLegacy(Locale locale) 
 Resources resources = mContext.getResources();
 Configuration configuration = resources.getConfiguration();
 configuration.locale = locale;
 resources.updateConfiguration(configuration, resources.getDisplayMetrics());
 return mContext;



@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
private Context updateResourcesLocale(Locale locale) 
 Configuration configuration = mContext.getResources().getConfiguration();
 configuration.setLocale(locale);
 return mContext.createConfigurationContext(configuration);
