Kotlin cannot create an instance of ViewModel

问题

I've been getting the following error against my ViewModel:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.cryptpass_kt/com.example.cryptpass_kt.MainActivity}: java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create an instance of class com.example.cryptpass_kt.EntryViewModel

The error points to 3 locations in my app. The first one being the initiation of the viewModel object in my MainActivity.kt class' onCreate() method:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        ...

        viewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(EntryViewModel::class.java)
        viewModel.allEntries.observe(this, Observer { entries -> adapter.submitList(entries) })

        ...
    }

The 2ndpoint is the LiveData object in my repository class:

class EntryRepository(application: Application) {
    private val entryDAO: EntryDAO
    lateinit var allEntries: LiveData<List<Entry>>

    ...
    }

And the 3rd point is the repository object inside the ViewModel:

class EntryViewModel(application: Application) : AndroidViewModel(application) {
    private val repository: EntryRepository = EntryRepository(application)
    val allEntries: LiveData<List<Entry>>

    init {allEntries = repository.allEntries }

    fun insert(entry: Entry) {repository.insert(entry)}

    fun update(entry: Entry) {repository.update(entry)}

    fun delete(entry: Entry) {repository.update(entry)}

    fun deleteAll() {repository.deleteAllEntries()}
}

The first time I had this error, I was told on S/O that it was due the fact that I had some implementations in my gradle file that were not AnroidX compatible. After fixing that, the problem still exists.

回答1:

Caused by: kotlin.UninitializedPropertyAccessException: lateinit property allEntries has not been initialized

In EntryViewModel, you have this line:

init {allEntries = repository.allEntries }

You are referencing the allEntries property of the EntryRepository. That is defined as lateinit:

lateinit var allEntries: LiveData<List<Entry>>

The error is telling you that you have not assigned a value to allEntries before trying to reference it. If you are going to use lateinit on a visible (non-private) property, you need to ensure that you assign a value to it before any other object can try using that property.
