ViewModel viewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(ViewModel.class);

Android Support library version is depreciated. So you need to make sure that you import Androidx. And you need to implement androidx dependency in Gradle file.

It is not advised to create a new ViewModel object with "new" keyword.
