Common mistakes when working with ViewModel?

// Example of a common mistake: Retaining data in ViewModel unnecessarily
public class MyViewModel extends ViewModel {
    private MutableLiveData> dataList;

    public LiveData> getDataList() {
        if (dataList == null) {
            dataList = new MutableLiveData<>();
            loadData();
        }
        return dataList;
    }

    // Method to load data from a repository
    private void loadData() {
        // Fetch data asynchronously and post value to dataList...
    }
}

// Mistake: Not clearing up resources in ViewModel
@Override
protected void onCleared() {
    super.onCleared();
    // Don't forget to clean up if you have listeners or any ongoing processes
    // Example: yourLiveData.removeObserver(yourObserver);
}
