Is View model in jetpack is same as view model in MVVM architecture?

Question

I am a noob in MVVM architecture, I like to develop my future projects in this architecture. If I add and implement Android Jetpack Viewmodel class in my project and use them properly will it comes in MVVM architecture? Or is there a difference in MVVM's view model.?

Answer 1

Android Architecture Components (AAC), which is part of Android Jetpack, are a collection of libraries that help you to design an MVVM-style app.

To achieve real MVVM implementation, you can use the combination of AAC (such as ViewModel , LiveData and Room ) with Data Binding .
