Call View Model in Class

Question

I need to Use the View model to work like a Listener but my Problem is how to call the view model in kotlin class to observe the target Attribute

class ExoPlayerWrapper(){
  init {
    initializePlayer()
// the next part of code need a lifecycle owner as Input to initilize the 
// Provider and my class is not lifecycle owner
    mLoginViewModel = ViewModelProvider(this).get(LoginViewModel::class.java)
//mLoginViewModel.observe 
}

Answer 1

That does not seem to be a view, why not use just a simple LiveData?

class ExoPlayerWrapper {

  private val _events = MutableLiveData<String>(
  val events: LiveData<String>
    get() = _events


  init {
    initializePlayer()
    value = "stop"
  }

  // Example method
  private fun notifyPause() {
    _events.value = "pause"
  }

}

// Then outside
class SomeClass(player: ExoPlayerWrapper) {

  init {
    player.events.observeForever { event -> /* handle event */ }
  }

}
