Angular getting URL paramters doesn't work as it should

I need to retrieve URL queries as in www.website.com?a:b. For this I followed this official angular tutorial, leading me to this simple code inside my component:

constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {}

ngOnInit() {
this.route.queryParams.subscribe(params => {
console.log(params)
})
}


This triggers the following error in the console:

ERROR NullInjectorError: R3InjectorError(AppModule)[ActivatedRoute -> ActivatedRoute -> ActivatedRoute]: NullInjectorError: No provider for ActivatedRoute!
​

Event though it is not mentioned in the tutorial, I add ActivatedRoute to my app.module.ts. This generates a different error:

Error: NG0204: Can't resolve all parameters for ActivatedRoute: (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?).
​

I cannot tell why noone else has had this issue, does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks.
