How to initialize a class and pass an object to the constructor in Android?
I have the following class:
public class MovieViewModel extends ViewModel {
    private String query;
    public MovieViewModel() {
        MyFactory factory = new MyFactory(); //Pass the query in the constructor
        //other stuff
    }
}
And in my MainActivity, I'm creating an object of this class like this:
MovieViewModel model = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(MovieViewModel.class);
How can I create an object of MovieViewModel class and in the same time I initialize the query String so it can be passed to the MyFactory constructor?

You can create custom Factory.
public class MovieViewModelFactory implements ViewModelProvider.Factory {
    private Application mApplication;
    private String mParam;
    public MovieViewModelFactory(Application application, String param) {
        mApplication = application;
        mParam = param;
    }
    @Override
    public <T extends ViewModel> T create(Class<T> modelClass) {
        return (T) new MovieViewModel(mApplication, mParam);
    }
}
Now you can use like this
MovieViewModel movieViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this, new MovieViewModelFactory(this.getApplication(), "param")).get(MovieViewModel.class);
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 So you basically say that, in this case there is no need to extend- MovieViewModelFactory extend ViewModel?

 - <T extends ViewModel>is Java Generics which allows only Models extending ViewModel as return type. You will need- MovieViewModelextend- ViewModel.

 My bad. I've created this new class but I have two errors:- MovieViewModel( ) in MovieViewModel cannot be applied to (android.app.Application, java.lang.String)and- Unchecked cast: '***.******.myapp.MovieViewModel' to 'T'. How can change this?

 You need to make additional constructor inside- MovieViewModelaccepting Application and String.

You have to provide a factory class :
public class MovieViewModel extends ViewModel {
private String query;
MovieViewModel(String objectToBePassed) {
    //other stuff
}
static class MovieViewModelFactory extends ViewModelProvider.NewInstanceFactory {
    private String mObject;
    public MovieViewModelFactory(String objectToBePassed) {
        mObject = objectToePassed;
    }
    @NonNull
    @Override
    public <T extends ViewModel> T create(@NonNull Class<T> modelClass) {
        return (T) new MovieViewModel(mObject);
    }
}
}
and usage
ViewModelProviders.of(context,
            new MovieViewModel.MovieViewModelFactory(object))
            .get(MovieViewModel.class);
