Android ViewModel

To use the AndroidScreen you should first import cafe.adriel.voyager:voyager-androidx (see Setup).
If you're using ViewModel from AndroidX then you should use AndroidScreen or implement the ScreenLifecycleProvider interface. 
class PostListScreen : AndroidScreen() {
​
    @Composable
    override fun Content() {
        val viewModel = viewModel<PostListViewModel>()
        // ...
    }
}
The AndroidScreen provides its own LocalViewModelStoreOwner and LocalSavedStateRegistryOwner, that way you can safetily create ViewModels without depending on Activity or Fragment.
Voyager provides a similar implementation, the ScreenModel, which does the same as ViewModel but also works with Compose Multiplatform.
Manual integration
If you don't want to inherit from an abstract class, no problem. You can easily make your screens compatible with ViewModel by implementing the ScreenLifecycleProvider interface.
class PostListScreen : Screen, ScreenLifecycleProvider {
​
    override fun getLifecycleOwner() = 
        AndroidScreenLifecycleOwner.get(key)
    
    @Composable
    override fun Content() {
        // ...
    }
}
