The use of this block is to provide a ViewModel in an Activity and it's used like so:

private val model: MyViewModel by viewModelProvider { MyViewModel(dependencies) }

already in fragment-ktx library: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-master-dev/fragment/ktx/src/main/java/androidx/fragment/app/FragmentViewModelLazy.kt

Awesome!

Activity counterpart https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-master-dev/activity/ktx/src/main/java/androidx/activity/ActivityViewModelLazy.kt?autodive=0%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F

@ashdavies what dependency is that from? I don't seem to get it with fragment-ktx, viewmodel-ktx or core-ktx

androidx.activity

😉

it's alpha https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/androidx.fragment/fragment-ktx but you might as well just copy the files into your project, it's not much.
