title: Cannot Obeserve LiveData
body: <p>I am trying to update the values in an EditText by observing a LiveData from a ViewModel.</p>
  <p>Here is the FRAGMENT in which I am trying to update the values of my EditText:</p>
  <pre><code>private var qnaQuestionData: String = &quot;TEST VALUE&quot;
  
  private val communicationViewModel by lazy {
          ViewModelProvider(this).get(
              MyProfileEditSharedViewModel::class.java
          )
      }
  
  override fun onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
          super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState)
  
          communicationViewModel.question.observe(viewLifecycleOwner, Observer {data -&gt;
                  data.let { qnaQuestionData = it }
          })
  
          et_question.setText(qnaQuestionData)
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>Here is my ViewModel:</p>
  <pre><code>class MyProfileEditSharedViewModel : ViewModel() {
      val question: MutableLiveData&lt;String&gt; by lazy { MutableLiveData&lt;String&gt;() }
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>When I run this code, the value of my EditText is set to &quot;TEST VALUE&quot; which means that the LiveData was never observed. How can I fix this??</p>
  <p>Thank you!</p>
