In Android, clearing the cache of a ViewModel can be achieved in a few different ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. By using the clear method in ViewModel, you can manually clear the cache of the ViewModel. Simply call the clear method on the ViewModel whenever you need to clear the cache.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    viewModel.clear();\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. \nTo clear a specific ViewModel cache, use the remove method provided by ViewModelProvider, a class used for creating and obtaining ViewModel instances. First, obtain an instance of ViewModelProvider and then call its remove method.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      ViewModelProvider<\/span> viewModelProvider<\/span> =<\/span> new<\/span> ViewModelProvider<\/span>(this<\/span>);\r\nviewModelProvider.remove(ViewModel.class);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. Clear the cache in the onDestroy method of Activity or Fragment: You can manually clear the ViewModel cache in the onDestroy method of Activity or Fragment by calling the clear method of ViewModelProvider.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        @Override<\/span>\r\nprotected<\/span> void<\/span> onDestroy<\/span>()<\/span> {\r\n    super<\/span>.onDestroy();\r\n    viewModelProvider.clear();\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        These methods allow for the selection of one or more ways to clear the cache of the ViewModel based on actual circumstances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
