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

This answer is for Java but you can understand main point. Solution is that you need use ViewModelProvider because ViewModelProviders deprecated:

//Do not forget import it.
import androidx.lifecycle.AndroidViewModel;

ViewModelProvider.AndroidViewModelFactory(getApplication()).create(YourViewModel.class);

Example usage is:

YourViewModel yourViewModel = new ViewModelProvider.AndroidViewModelFactory(getApplication()).create(YourViewModel.class);

Also, do not forget update Gradle Dependencies: Check here for last versions of them

implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel:2.2.0'
annotationProcessor 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:2.2.0'

!!! However, be careful because some answers recommend this solution but it did not work for me:

yourViewModel = new ViewModelProvider(this).get(YourViewModel.class);

Because when I used this way, I got below Error Message:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create an instance of class com.canerkaseler.mvvmexample.ViewModel
