In my ViewModel, I’m fetching data from an API using repository.remote.getNews(). I can see in the logs that the API is successfully called and returns data.

However, the data is not displayed in the _newsList variable, which is of type LiveData<NetworkRequest<ResponseNews>>, and its value is null.

API : News forex

ViewModel :

@HiltViewModel
class HomeViewModel @Inject constructor(private val repository: HomeRepository) : ViewModel() {

    private var _newsList = MutableLiveData<NetworkRequest<ResponseNews>>()
    val newsList: LiveData<NetworkRequest<ResponseNews>> = _newsList

    init {
        viewModelScope.launch {
            getNews()
        }
    }

    private fun getNews() = viewModelScope.launch {
        _newsList.value = NetworkRequest.Loading()
        val response = repository.remote.getNews()
        _newsList.value = NetworkResponse(response).generateResponse()
        Log.d("HomeFragment", "News list: $_newsList")
    }

}

Question:

What could be causing the data to be successfully fetched from the API but displayed as null in _newsList?

Additional Information:

• I’m using Hilt for dependency injection.

• I’m using Coroutines to manage asynchronous tasks.

• I can see in the logs that response (the variable containing the API data) is not null.

Goal:

To find the reason why _newsList is null and fix it to display the data correctly in LiveData.

Considerations:

• Please let me know if you need any more information.

• Any guidance or suggestions to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
