Responding to component state changes: ViewModel and LiveData APIs, Compose integrations, saved-state handling, process-wide state tracking, ReactiveStreams support, and testing utilities.
Lifecycle-aware components perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments. These components help you produce better-organized, and often lighter-weight code, that is easier to maintain.
To add a dependency on Lifecycle, you must add the Google Maven repository to your project. Read Google's Maven repository for more information.
Add the dependencies for the artifacts you need in the build.gradle file for your app or module:
