How to initialize a class and pass an object to the constructor in Android?












0















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?

          • Did you wrong type MovieViewModelFactory instead of MovieViewModel?

          • <T extends ViewModel> is Java Generics which allows only Models extending ViewModel as return type. You will need MovieViewModel extend 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 MovieViewModel accepting 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);

              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);
