when I click on the BaseActivity.kt I am redirected to this code

   val viewModel by lazy {
    if (viewModelFactory != null)
        ViewModelProviders.of(this, viewModelFactory).get(mViewModelClass)
    else ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(mViewModelClass)

}

This code is placed in the BaseActivity to create Viewmodel.

Here is My BaseActivity.kt

abstract class BaseActivity<VM : ViewModel, DB : ViewDataBinding>(private val mViewModelClass: Class<VM>) : AppCompatBaseActivity() {

@LayoutRes
abstract fun getLayoutRes(): Int

abstract val viewModelFactory: ViewModelProvider.Factory?


val binding by lazy {
    DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, getLayoutRes()) as DB
}


val viewModel by lazy {
    if (viewModelFactory != null)
        ViewModelProviders.of(this, viewModelFactory).get(mViewModelClass)
    else ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(mViewModelClass)

}


/**
 * If you want to inject Dependency Injection
 * on your activity, you can override this.
 */
open fun onInject() {}

open fun initView() {}

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    onInject()
    LayoutInflaterCompat.setFactory2(layoutInflater, IconicsLayoutInflater2(delegate))

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    initViewModel(viewModel)

    initView()

}

/**
 *
 *  You need override this method.
 *  And you need to set viewModel to binding: binding.viewModel = viewModel
 *
 */
abstract fun initViewModel(viewModel: VM)


fun isNetworkConnected(): Boolean {
    return NetworkUtils.isNetworkConnected(this)
}


fun hideKeyboard() {
    Utils.hideKeyboard(this)
}

fun changeFragment(fragment: Fragment, cleanStack: Boolean = false, addToBackStack: Boolean = true) {
    Utils.changeFragment(this, fragment, cleanStack, addToBackStack)
}

}

I am using Dagger2 I lost my 2 hrs in searching the solution. Stackoverflow is the last hope.

After a long research I got a solution. I Simply needed to add public @Inject constructor in my ViewModel class eg;

class FullScreenViewModel public @Inject constructor(application: Application) : BaseViewModel<Any?>(application) {}
