How to make LiveData backward compatible?

LiveData is an observable data holder class that is lifecycle-aware. To make LiveData backward compatible with earlier versions of Android, you can use the AndroidX libraries that support LiveData. These libraries ensure that your application can run on devices with older Android versions while still utilizing the latest features.

Example of LiveData Implementation


        // Inside your ViewModel
        private val _myLiveData = MutableLiveData()
        val myLiveData: LiveData get() = _myLiveData
        
        fun updateData(newData: String) {
            _myLiveData.value = newData
        }
