Viewmodel cannot create an instance of class Android Java MVVM

i'm trying to implement a movie app that allows brows movies and checkout the ratings on them... and i got a problem when i tried to implement a MVVM model with my MovieListViewModel where the debugger is telling me that i cannot create an instance of this class (MovieListViewModel).

what i did about that is i tried to follow some tutorials and i looked for all the questions about viewmodel in this site they would usually say that i should have my viewmodel's constructor as a public constructor or there is some other problem in the constructor (parameters and things like that ) but i'm sure that i followed the guideline regarding the constructor

(i tried following this tutorial to implement the first part of my application ) https://medium.com/@eladb4382/paging-library-viewmodel-livedata-room-and-retrofit-66bf6a0eef9d i did basically the same code but i had the error where he didn't ...

this is my list view model class :

public class MovieListViewModel extends AndroidViewModel {

private MovieRepository repository;

public MovieListViewModel(@NonNull Application application) {
    super(application);
    repository = MovieRepository.getInstance(application);
}


public LiveData<PagedList<Movie>> getMovies() {
    return repository.getMovies();
}

public LiveData<NetworkState> getNetworkState() {
    return repository.getNetworkState();
}}

and here where is the problem happening :

public class MovieListFragment extends Fragment implements OnMovieItemClicked {

private final String TAG = MovieListFragment.class.getSimpleName() ;

protected MovieListViewModel viewmodel ;
private MovieDetailsViewModel movieDetailsViewModel  ;

protected RecyclerView recyclerView ;

@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.movie_list_fragment , container , false );
    recyclerView = view.findViewById(R.id.moviesRecyclerView);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(getContext(),3));
    Log.d(TAG , "creating viewmodel ..." );
    viewmodel = ViewModelProviders.of(getActivity()).get(MovieListViewModel.class);
    observersRegisters() ;
    return view;
}

private void observersRegisters() {
    final MovieAdapter adapter = new MovieAdapter(this);
    viewmodel.getMovies().observe(this , adapter ::submitList);

    viewmodel.getNetworkState().observe(this,networkState ->{
        adapter.setNetworkState(networkState);
    });
    recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
    movieDetailsViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(getActivity()).get(MovieDetailsViewModel.class);
}

(this is not the whole fragment class it's just the part where the error is happening)

and the activity where i call this fragment is here ::

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName() ;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    if(findViewById(R.id.fragmentsContainer)!= null) {
        if(savedInstanceState != null ){
            return  ;
        }
        MovieListFragment  listFragment = new MovieListFragment() ;
        listFragment.setArguments(getIntent().getExtras());
        getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.fragmentsContainer,listFragment).commit();
    }}

also i uploaded the whole project on GitHub in case anyone would like to checkout the problem :

https://github.com/TheDeathLorD/MovieApp

here is the error I'm getting on run time :

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.example.movieapp2, PID: 4935 java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create an instance of class com.example.movieapp2.ui.viewmodel.MovieListViewModel at android.arch.lifecycle.ViewModelProvider$AndroidViewModelFactory.create(ViewModelProvider.java:207) at android.arch.lifecycle.ViewModelProvider.get(ViewModelProvider.java:134) at android.arch.lifecycle.ViewModelProvider.get(ViewModelProvider.java:102) at com.example.movieapp2.ui.view.MovieListFragment.onCreateView(MovieListFragment.java:40)

In your case, you should see the whole logs, I tried your code, and there is more info below the error you post:

     Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: baseUrl must end in /: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular
        at retrofit2.Retrofit$Builder.baseUrl(Retrofit.java:515)
        at retrofit2.Retrofit$Builder.baseUrl(Retrofit.java:458)

        at com.example.movieapp2.repository.MovieRepository.getInstance(MovieRepository.java:56)

which means you should add a / after your baseUrl

And then you will see another crash says Missing either @GET URL or @Url parameter. It because @GET URL is blank in MovieAPIInterface.getMovies, I recommend you change the baseUrl to http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie and put popular into @GET annotation
