Answer 1

if you want both value not null

fun  LiveData.combineWithNotNull(
        liveData: LiveData,
        block: (T, V) -> R
): LiveData {
    val result = MediatorLiveData()
    result.addSource(this) {
        this.value?.let { first ->
            liveData.value?.let { second ->
                result.value = block(first, second)
            }
        }
    }
    result.addSource(liveData) {
        this.value?.let { first ->
            liveData.value?.let { second ->
                result.value = block(first, second)
            }
        }
    }

    return result
}
