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.

@Bruno_ i guess we can use this

val myViewModel = ViewModelProvider(this).get(MyViewModel::class.java)
