I’m trying to work out how to declare such a fragment ViewModel in Koin:

class FooFragment : Fragment() {

    val activityViewModel: BarViewModel by activityViewModel()

    val fragmentViewModel by viewModels<FooViewModel>(
        factoryProducer = {
            object : ViewModelProvider.Factory {
                override fun <T : ViewModel> create(modelClass: Class<T>, extras: CreationExtras): T =
                    FooViewModel(
                        provider = activityViewModel.createSomeProvider(),
                        savedStateHandle = extras.createSavedStateHandle(),
                    ) as T
            }
        }
    )
}

The problem here is that I can’t declare the viewmodel in the usual way because it requires an argument from an activity viewmodel

what kind of argument? you can use parameter injection to help pass data to your definition if you need

Ah, I think the part I was missing that the declaration can just use = get() for the savedStateHandle (i.e. no need to use factory in order to obtain extras) and, yes, the provider can use parameter injection. Thanks!

I’m curious if this is generally acceptable practice: to pass in an argument obtained from an activity view model, into a fragment view model?

not sure it's a great thing to chain injection via viewModel, I would try something else with Koin 🤔
