can I create ViewModel instances myself or do I have to do it with `by viewModels()`? tried to google `creating view model manually` and `kotlin by viewModels()`, couldn't find anything interesting

there's this sof post <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59157518/android-by-viewmodels-with-injectable-constructor-on-viewmodel>
but it doesn't mention creating the  VM manually

ok found it <https://stackoverflow.com/a/59835717/10210069>

```We cannot directly create the object of the ViewModel as it would not be aware of the lifecyclerOwner. ```


<@UGMPU75CY> i guess we can use this
```val myViewModel = ViewModelProvider(this).get(MyViewModel::class.java)```


it was more of a question `why` not `how` but thanks anyway
