Dagger injects {} method issue

Question

I would like to know

why we need to add

injects = { 
            FirstFragment.class, 
            DownloadManager.class,
            BookRefreshTask.class 
        }

in application class or module class.

as we injecting the fragment and activity using graph.inject(this) method

In short, Dagger needs to know where to start injecting. The classes in that t=list are things that are themselves _not_ injected, but which have injected members. — Karakuri, Dec 02 '14 at 05:20
@Karakuri start injecting is known from where we write graph add method which is in application class. but i want to know what is the use of injects {} annotation i mentioned in my question — gandhi, Dec 02 '14 at 05:26

As I undestand this.

Dagger consists of two modules:

runtime module (which uses @Inject annotations to satisfy dependencies at runtime)
compile time module (which uses "injects = {A1.class, A2.class}" to check code for unsatisfied dependencies).

So this is a price we need to pay for compile time errors handling.
