    // Example of using LiveData and ViewModel as an alternative to DataBinding

    class SampleViewModel : ViewModel() {
        private val _sampleData = MutableLiveData()
        val sampleData: LiveData get() = _sampleData

        fun updateData(newData: String) {
            _sampleData.value = newData
        }
    }

    class SampleActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
        private lateinit var viewModel: SampleViewModel

        override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_sample)

            viewModel = ViewModelProvider(this).get(SampleViewModel::class.java)

            viewModel.sampleData.observe(this, Observer { data ->
                // Update your UI with the new data
                findViewById(R.id.textView).text = data
            })

            // Simulate data update
            viewModel.updateData("Hello, World!")
        }
    }
