ViewModelProviders is deprecated in 1.1.0

Question

Looking at the Google docs for ViewModel, they show the below sample code on how to get a ViewModel:

val model = ViewModelProviders         


        

Answer 1

Actually, what does the ViewModelProviders.of() method do under the hood?

@Deprecated
@NonNull
@MainThread
public static ViewModelProvider of(@NonNull Fragment fragment) {
    return new ViewModelProvider(fragment);
}

It takes Fragment as an argument, creates ViewModelProvider object and passes the fragment directly to ViewModelProvider constructor.

We can use the same way too.

E.g. Before:

OurViewModel mOurViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(OurViewModel.class);

After:

OurViewModel mOurViewModel = new ViewModelProvider(this).get(OurViewModel.class);
