Overview

The AndroidViewModel library is now deprecated, but will continue to be supported by INLOOPX. It allows for separating data and state handling from Fragments or Activities without the need for excessive code. With this library, an instance of a ViewModel class is assigned to a Fragment or Activity during its creation and is kept throughout its lifecycle, even during display orientation changes. The ViewModel instance is only removed when the Fragment or Activity is completely gone. Asynchronous tasks can be executed within this ViewModel instance, and all data handling and state logic should be placed inside the ViewModel class. The Fragment or Activity serves as a "dumb" view.
