MainActivity.kt

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    
    // This ktx requires at least androidx.activity:activity-ktx:1.0.0
    private val myViewModel: MyViewModel by viewModels()

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
      
         //Inflate view and create binding
        val binding: MainActivityBinding = 
            DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.main_activity)

        //Specify this activity as the lifecycleOwner for Data Binding
        binding.lifecycleOwner = this
        
        // Pass the ViewModel into the binding
        binding.viewmodel = myViewModel
