I had the same issue, in JAVA though. My issue was solved with using the ViewModelFactory as follows:

public class MyViewModelFactory implements ViewModelProvider.Factory {
    private Application mApplication;



    public MyViewModelFactory(Application application) {
        mApplication = application;

    }
    @Override
    public  T create(Class modelClass) {
        return (T) new BookViewModel(mApplication);
    }

And where you call the ViewModel, change it to:

mBookViewModel = new ViewModelProvider(this, new MyViewModelFactory
                (this.getApplication())).get(BookViewModel.class);
