Cannot create an instance of class ViewModel

Question

I am trying to write a sample app using Android architecture components and but even after trying for days I could not get it to work. It gives me the above exception.

If you are using Hilt then don't forget to add these four dependencies.

    implementation "com.google.dagger:hilt-android:2.28-alpha"
    kapt "com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler:2.28-alpha"
    implementation 'androidx.hilt:hilt-lifecycle-viewmodel:1.0.0-alpha01'
    kapt "androidx.hilt:hilt-compiler:1.0.0-alpha01"

Note:- If any of these dependencies are missing you will get Cannot create an instance of class ViewModel error
